We know many jobs went to Mexico and now to China. Yep, we are the real technocracy leaders. Guess who launched Direct TV's new satellite?

Outsourcing is inevitable until the standard of living in the rest of the world equalizes with our own. It's not good news for us, but it's an unfortunate reality. Dave "Sandbagger" |

Think who benifits from outsourcing? Corporations. Why? Consumers demand lower prices and Corparations are doing their best to give the consumers what they want. Sorry but cheap prices can't go on for ever. Once the world's cheap labor is exploited, consumer prices will rise like a Proton Rocket. What happens when there are no more cheap labor countries like China? Can you spell double digit inflation??? How about 20% per yr for about ten yrs. Maybe even longer or higher inflation rates. Yes as the world's standard of living increases, so will inflation. I forsee 10 to 20% annual inflation rates somewhere in the 2030 to 2040 time frame. By then the world will dream of 4% inflation rates. Out sourcing is eventually going to drag the US' standard of living down to the rest of the world's as their's rises towards. You can't get something for nothing. In time the US will suffer. Prepare for China owning more an dmore of teh US debt and consequently the US' economy . james |

It's not good news for us, but it's an unfortunate reality. ****** You will sing a different tune when your $60K per yr job goes to China and your planned retirement of $120K+ dwindles down to $36K per yr. Why would I sing a different tune? The reality is the same whether I'm directly affected by it or not. I never said it was a good thing for American workers, but it is an understandable trend considering the economic dynamics of the world market. Think who benifits from outsourcing? Long term or short? Corporations. Why? Consumers demand lower prices and Corparations are doing their best to give the consumers what they want. Sorry but cheap prices can't go on for ever. Once the world's cheap labor is exploited, consumer prices will rise like a Proton Rocket. So, here we have a double edged sword. We live in a world economy, with companies from all over the world competing for market share. So, what's a U.S. based corporation to do? Should it: A. Keep its U.S. work force in order to altruistically keep the American work force employed? B. Outsource to a foreign country where labor and overhead is much cheaper? Considering that other countries have no objection to using cheap foreign labor, and producing products cheaper, the U.S. company is now at a competitive disadvantage with those products which they are in direct competition from foreign companies. Tell me, would you pay 50 - 100% more for a TV or some other product just to keep the U.S. company here? Considering that the government is squeezing more and more money out of us in the form of taxes, and the costs of things like fuel are skyrocketing, we look for the best bargains in everything we buy. And that doesn't cover the foreign market. Would a European pay more for a U.S. made product over a foreign made product? What ultimately happens to a U.S. corporation who loses a competitive edge? What happens when there are no more cheap labor countries like China? Can you spell double digit inflation??? How about 20% per yr for about ten yrs. Maybe even longer or higher inflation rates. Yes, inflation is a very real fear. But when the standard of living equalizes, then there will be no further incentive to manufacture overseas. Then factors such as shipping costs will make domestic manufacturing attractive again for the U.S. market. Inflation may also be mitigated by market pressures. If people cannot afford to buy as much, demand goes down. When demand goes down, so does the price. That's free market 101. Yes as the world's standard of living increases, so will inflation. I forsee 10 to 20% annual inflation rates somewhere in the 2030 to 2040 time frame. By then the world will dream of 4% inflation rates. Out sourcing is eventually going to drag the US' standard of living down to the rest of the world's as their's rises towards. That's what I meant when I said equalize the world's standard of living. Not only will the 3rd world catch up, but we will fall somewhat. That is the price we pay for living in a world market. 50 years ago, when most of our goods were made here, we controlled the market. Now we're just one of many players. You can't get something for nothing. You don't know just how much truth there is in that statement. In time the US will suffer. Prepare for China owning more an dmore of teh US debt and consequently the US' economy . Ok, We pretty much agree that the road ahead will be a bit bumpy. So what do we do about it? Can we do anything about it? |

Let's get real, there are two of our VERY LARGE, VERY expensive buildings
missing in New York. Thousands of Americans died in those buildings. There was a large hole in our pentagon, site of our most holy protection for this land. One plane was headed towards the Whitehouse, another of our most holy political sites--before it was downed. There are a few airplanes of ours which were destroyed in these attacts--and American lives lost on each and everyone of these aircraft. Anyone who does not want to go after those who did THAT, with every resource at our disposal, is either a coward, terrorist themselves, or an idiot. And, the radical muslims will point blank tell you that you have three choices--join them, be enslaved by them or die. Any rational person would choose a fourth--they die! We simply don't have a choice in this matter... Warmest regards, John "I AmnotGeorgeBush" wrote in message ... How many links do you need, Dave? Here are a few more, just to keep you entertained. From the Times wires: Before the Iraq invasion, the Bush administration asserted that Iraq possessed chemical and biological weapons and was developing nuclear weapons. Officials also allege Iraq was working on prohibited long-range missiles and drones that could disperse biological agents. The presidential intelligene commison examined each of the US intelligence community's prewar assertions on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and reached these conclusions: Nuclear Weapons: Wrong Analysts wrongly interpreted the purpose of some metal tubes Iraq tried to import, arguing they were for centrifuges to enrich uranium when they were for conventional artillery rockets. Other imports of materials with more than one potential use were also similarily misinterpreted. Biological Weapons: Wrong Agencies trusted several Iraqi defectors who were lying, ignoring inconsistencies in their statements and other warning signs that these defectors were providing false information. Chemical Weapons: WRONG The intelligence committe drew its conclusions from satellite photos of trucks and buildings and other sources that were suspicious but ultimately ambiguous, and trusted human sources who made claims that Hussein had accomplished things that are technically impossiible. WMD-Armed Drones: Wrong Analysts concluded the drones were for WMD based on limited information; Iraq;s drones turned out to be for reconnaissance. Hussein's Intentions: Wrong Intelligence agencies did not seriously consider Hussein could have given up his WMD ambitions and destroyed his stockpiles. Although several intel sources asserted before the war that Iraq did not have any WMD, US analysts have regarded this as disinformation. End of Times wire report. -- Want more, Dave? The list is endless but these should have you spinning your wheels a bit more than usual since your first knee-jerk reaction was to deny any Bush failures, then beg for examples. |

If you haven't seen the new movie "Kingdom of Heaven" I suggest that you do. It will remind you of what is happening in the middle east now, even if it wasn't the intent of the movie.
