You'd think people on diets would get the same concept. Gain a pound, lose two. Gain three, lose one. And so on, and so on....

Don't share this with the liberal press, they might squirm and fart in the process.

Take a peek at one's returns on the market. Perhaps this would be a more accurate reference for the doom and gloom people.

Yep, we are ALL doomed to poverty. /sarcasm

All you have to do is read the label on the products. Most are made in China. Levi's, Stanley, Craftsman power tools, Black & Decker and many others are now made in China. Try buying an American made pair of shoes, tools, or clothing . Even just about every Christmas ornament, light and even fake tree are made in China and they aren't allowed to celebrate Christmas.

Someone had to lose a job for all these products to now be made in China. Many are now in service industries because they cannot send the Chinese to cut your lawn or flip your burgers. If there was a way to make this happen, the beancounters would make it so.

I just ran into an old friend from Boeing in Anaheim California and ask him how things were going at my old company. The answer - they are going great guns and the only thing holding them back is they can't hire qualified communications system engineers and software engineers fast enough. Methinks things are picking up.

Well perhaps this Nobel Laureate professor can come on down here to North Carolina and tell us where the 50,000+ people that have lost their jobs in the 10th District alone in the past two years are working. And they weren't IT jobs either...

"Let me tell you a little story here. You know Joe Smith started the day early, he having set his alarm clock made in Japan for 6:30am, while he put his coffee pot on made in Germany, and while it's perking he puts on his blow-dryer (made in Taiwan) to work, and then he shaves with his electric razor made in Hong Kong, and then he puts on a dress shirt made in Taiwan, his designer jeans made in Singapore, then a pair of tennis shoes made in Korea; then after cooking breakfast in his new electric skillet made in the Phillipines, he sits down at his calculator made in Mexico to figure how much money does he have to spend today. Now, after setting his watch made in Switzerland, while listening to his radio made in Hong Kong, he goes out and gets in his car made in Germany, and then he goes out looking, like he has for several months, for a good paying American job. Well, at the end of another discouraging and fruitless day, Joe decides to relax for awhile, so he puts on a pair of sandals made in Brazil, pours a glass of wine made in France, turns on his TV made in Japan, and then ponders again why it is that he can't find a good paying American job."
