But yet we can’t wait to get a new NWO President; Gingrich, Romney, Santorum, etc...
Greenspan's quote says it all....
1). Unions.
2). The minimum wage.
Abolish the minimum wage and make Right-to-Work the law and watch America's economy come roaring back to world dominance. There will be plenty of jobs once the government and labor goons get out of the way.
TAXES.....
Anyone who believed in “new jobs”, “green jobs”, or any of that other crap is too stupid to have a job.
Reagan,Clinton,Bush....they all promoted the destruction of American jobs through “free trade”.
When Reagan dismissed concerns over the loss of American steel mills as our economy moving from smokestacks to service industry,I told my father “we can’t all press each other’s pants for a living”.
America has been sold out ever since Nixon.And Nixon was the last president to advocate an America NOT dependent on foreign energy.
Easy. BRACK 0BAMAO!
Check your Christmas gifts to see where the jobs have gone. Where is the ‘Perot’ who can hear the job sucking sound of government made free trade deals? He will get my vote.
Lost me at Paul Craig Roberts.
More nonsense. Just as China's economy is vastly overestimated by Americans, so is China's military. I'm not claiming it isn't growing, but it is not capable of projecting Chinese power around the "planet".
And we have no idea how much they're spending on it anyway. Their government lies worse than ours.
Go back to sleep.
It’s only a noise...
No jobs? That IS the New Economy.
Unions drove wages up in this country + Companies moved to places where wages were lower = Fewer manufacturing jobs in this country.
Unlike Europe the US is blessed with oil, natural gas, coal and timber. If the politicians stop catering to environmentalists and tapped these resources for development and export. We can generate enough jobs and revenue to pay down our private and national debt.
2011 In Review 2012 Outlook
2011 should have settled once and for all the idea that government and the private sector are NOT a symbiotic relationship but rather a parasitic one.
2011 marked a year that the US economic growth trailed that of many 3rd world countries.
2011 saw for the first time people leaving the US for better opportunity elsewhere.
How does 2012 look?
Anyone who says it might be an improvement must not understand what caused 2011 to be so bad.
The reality is not so complicated. High taxes and excessive regulation were the culprits.
2012 promises to be as bad or worse in those areas.
So any investment strategies that assumes economic contraction and those running things really haven’t a clue would be wise.
As bad as things are I agree with those that said as soon as the current administration is officially a lame duck: “things will turn around so quick it will make your head spin” according to Michelle Bachmann.
Gingrich has said he doesn’t expect to see a turn around until election night and that is one thing I think he is right about.
“Why are there no jobs in America?”
You forgot NAFTA and the Green initiative.
