Barry Soetoro, aka B. Hussein Obama, first Inaugural quote: “I want to FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE AMERICA!”

I get it, but they’ll still be here when the rest of “us” are dust.

[kearnyirish2]

The horrid financial catastrophe is here for millions of Americans; they’ve been reduced to existing on government handouts, while their credit has been destroyed and they are unable to earn a living. Unfortunately enough of them thought socialism would help them; in NJ it has simply chased out our best & brightest to greener (lower-tax) pastures.

someday Rush will actually buy into the Mena, Arkansas stuff and the boys on the tracks....

I don't mind being paranoid...what I do mind is that in the back of my head, really way, way back, all the stuff that we ever suspected is absolutely true......and its very hard to deal with it...

"This all started January 21st, 2009."

New territory for Rush Limbaugh, eh? If he is tutored a few more years, he might learn sufficiently about the causes of the decline and how far back they really go.

In 1973, most favored nation trade status for a foreign nation was a ripe political issue, having been pushed by VIP constituents from behind the politicians (beginning with Nixon) for several years before. Gasoline prices doubled overnight. Retail employees were advised of new business practices beginning then (e.g., shelves in supermarkets faced-up instead of filled, downsizing, layoffs). The volume manufacturing and distribution model was effectively abolished. So was the old paradigm of encouraging and praising the atmosphere of open business competition ("healthy for business, good for the economy").

Just before and after 1980, many US manufacturing jobs were shut down, and soon after, moved to poorer areas of the USA and out of the USA (south of the border and other directions). Temper tantrums were thrown over trivial matters, such as belt guards being required on machines to prevent losses of limbs and requirements for machines to be painted bright colors instead of Navy gray (bump, skull fracture, etc.). A little later, many manufacturing jobs were moved to east Asia and other areas. The trend has continued since then.

On regulations, there are zoning laws against new, small manufacturing shops in extremely sparsely populated areas--in the middle of nowhere, so to speak. What entities do such anti-competition laws benefit? The contemporary business regime is steeped in and bragging, along with its government partners, about radical environmentalism, animal worship and anti-family social pathologies. Anti-family social pathologies also prevent new competition from rising in business.

Moral bankruptcy is the general problem, and it's happening in all kinds of political factions. Another problem is that of tighter connections between business and government. Maybe the continued economic decline caused by political correctness, etc., is part of the sad and uncomfortable answer.

Have fun. Enjoy the slide. It's been in process for much longer than most of us know. Oh, and don't look so much at the politicians. Look at their more influential constituents and constituent groups. As some say, follow the money.

Not easy to buy American anymore! Wanted to buy a Buick Encore (despite Obama motors) because I thought at least I would buy American. Guess what? The Buick Encore is MADE in Korea! Distributed in the USA, but MADE in Korea! Now if I order one, I’m NOT buying American, and with my luck, Kim will nuke the Buick factory before MY car is manufactured.

Silver.

Absolutely - economic contraction has been underway for quite a while not just in the US but in the West as a whole, it's been so gradual to be nearly unnoticeable unless you knew where to look or unless somebody did something to overtly accelerate the decline. It's certainly noticeable now, particularly since the Obama Regime took over - they have the accelerator up against the firewall.

 

[familyop]

Agreed, and well said.

[OpusatFR]

He’s right. It’s dead, Jim.

For those of us who saw this coming, we took steps to mitigate the effects.

To those who can’t or won’t think that far ahead, doing nothing will prove problematic.

At any rate, the wheels are turning and cannot be turned back or toward anything remotely sane.

What is this fascination at FR with putting Americans back on the assembly line and out of lucrative white collar jobs?

I’m dying to quit my job making IT Security products that are sold worldwide and start sewing jeans and assembling ipads!

Not the nation, just the loud ones, whom we’ll call “The Moron Minority”.

“Ninety million Americans are no longer in the workforce.”

That figure makes no sense to me.It seems way too high.

[Rodm]

America is being disciplined by God.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Bunk.

Approximately 90 million Americans are on some form of handouts.

Meanwhile China is down to 4 percent unemployment or so. Last I knew every miniature mobile device on the planet, was made in China.

We are giving away the future. This is so screwed up.

Bring back US jobs now.

“Rush. Finally. Now get with the program and support BUYING AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS.”

Ha. Like that’s gonna happen. He recently added Mahindra Tractors as a sponsor.
