Outsourcing jobs and increasing the price of goods due to skyrocketing fuel costs killed the economy. When 70 percent of your GDP is people buying crap and you cut into their discretionary income to reduce labor cost, you’re going to see people spending less.

Also, how about they [Southern states] stop claiming to be conservative while feeding at the federal trough by taking more from the government than they pay in taxes.

Back that up bronx,boy. Let's compare "your" home state of Ohio to my home state of Georgia, also Florida and Texas...comparable states in size and income.

Sanford talks a good game

Why don't you tell us who you support, b-boy? And why...

bronxboy you are not a conservative nor any resemblance of one, but clearly a very clever disruptor able to disguise yourself for 4 years.

Everyone should read his/her posting history on his/her home page and decide for yourself.

I agree with your assessment. You cannot send all the middle class jobs offshore and then expect to be able to sell your product for long, the middle class was the ultimate consumer.... but the executives in this country got greedy sometime in the late 70’s early 80’s and when they figured out they could get rid of all that labor costs and put it into their own pockets they only saw their own benefits and didn’t give a fig about how the entire country would be affected — and the man who led that charge was Jack Welch.

I don’t need to read them, I’ve seen enough of his posts here the past couple of months to know he is no conservative, anyone who espouses the crap this government is doing to all of us is no conservative.
