I find it interesting that the governor of KY is trying to abolish the state income tax. It would save me over $600 a month. when I move there.
No problem. We own the printing presses and can produce as much "wealth" as we need.
*eyeball roll*
UPMC Hospital( a world class facility) in Pittsburgh just inked a deal with China and gave them a ton of proprietary information...and then on another thread it talked about doctors in other countries will be able to do operations via robotics on a patient in another country within a decade...
I'm in the health insurance biz. Large carriers are already working on plans to send patients enmass to India for treatment..and it is already being done. Some Fortune 500 firms are already doing it. A hip transplant in the US is 28K while in India it 5K.
No sector of American society is safe unless you are a plumber or electrician...something that cannot be outsourced.
Re: #1 and #23. Okay, they BOTH can’t be the 2nd most dangerous city in the US.
...because it has the same class of people running it?
Boho. For years I worked hard to maintain a income, all the while the value of the dollar went down. At the same time the dollar was being devalued you let a bunch of criminals ie. illegal aliens come into the country and compete against me with out the restrictions I had. Some how I am suppose to feel sorry that a bunch of government employees are losing their jobs.
The paper work alone made my income decrease buy a significant amount just to comply. Every time I worked with the government it seemed like they lost the documents and it cost me more. Screw these incompetent morons. Good riddance. This seems like the best way to clear out a bunch of dead weight in our government
.
Stop importing poverty. Completely change our immigration policy so that we are not importing half the third world and conditions will stabilize if not improve. Move back to a manufacturing economy instead of the madness of a service economy.
I was headed east to Newark in a rental car and decided to get off the freeway to top off the ol’ tank before I turned the rental car in. It was the first time in my life I literally feared for my life to even get out of the car at a gas station. And I have ridden my bicycle through VERY seedy areas of Seattle.
I just drove through Gary a couple weeks ago. Yeah, it’s a pit. I’ve been to Detroit and marveled at the street people going through garbage cans on the street in front of a bunch of closed down businesses. I marveled because the only people on the street were the sparse street people. What exactly did they expect to find?
Re: #1 and #23. Okay, they BOTH cant be the 2nd most dangerous city in the US.
Well, one of them is trying to get to #1 :)
Good catch. And in some places the residents take care of business well enough that you don’t need a lot of cops.
Yep, and unions make certain it stays that way. Gov. will never "create" jobs except enlarging Gov. so they can say jobs increased. If people think their standard of living will remain...heads in sand...our once powerful nation is falling into ruin at all levels...crime will esculate more and more.
This is madness.

You've heard of "bedroom communities"? The US is to be a "bedroom nation." Except that a country of electricians, plumbers, and government pencil-pushers can't support social services for 350 million people.
Btw - how long will it be before the US Mints are outsourced to China or Mexico?
We need to let millions and millions of new immigrants into the country, and hand them welfare checks and voter registration cards as they cross the border.
That will fix the problem.
WOW! I just went into Google maps and went to street view for Camden. Yikes!
I read Atlas Shrugged recently as well. Its a must read.
Apparently, North Korea is now doing a better job of printing our money than we are.

>>A hip transplant in the US is 28K while in India it 5K. <<
One may reasonably ask why it is $28k.
You're preaching to the choir, brother.
Fedgov bureaucracy is one bloated RAT that needs exterminating. It actually destroys US business and commerce.
In the last 10 years under GW and Hussein it's exploded like the deadly virus it is.
For many years I’ve considered Detroit to be a microcosm of Atlas Shrugged. I do believe the nation will follow because the required changes will not be made - voluntarily.
The nation is like the gunner, on a disabled B-17 as it spirals to the ground, that is afraid to jump. He must be pushed. And if he has a tight grip on the plane, he must be pushed hard.
The necessary change will come in this country when the people and politicians are pushed hard enough to exit the plane, i.e. status quo. But that push could be something along the lines of what Fred talked of about 10 years ago:
