Quote: I have read many of your posts and you seem to consisently ring one of two bells:
-The US economy is doomed
-Corporations versus the poor workers
Interesting...very revealing.


I live in an area that was very prosperous due to manufacturing. It is now all gone and I have seen what the resulting service jobs have done to my area in regards to standards of living. My brother comes home about once every 2 years and every time he comes home he says the areas looks worse each time.

A new Cabelas opened up at 9.00 per hour and people were going nuts over these part time/seasonal jobs. The local newsgal on the 6:00 news actually said there was a new Sheetz gas station opening up with 3 full time and 15 P/T workers starting at $7.50 pr hour. Whoopee!!!

Yeah I imay have alittle doom and gloom but I see the twin deficits, outsourcing, record debt, pensions plans underfunded etc etc and it's not getting any better.

There should be more people like me that would get the mess straigthened out in Washington.

Not very area of the country is thriving.

I had a feeling you were viewing this through a 'local' filter that included some personal issue. I understand and sympathize. I truly do. But I also am trying to rally you and others who are 'down' about our future and our competition with China.

Do not despair. We can and will prevail. Our culture, our capitalist roots, our will to win, our fierce competitive nature, our love of liberty will provide us with the winning formula versus China.

That, along with a superior military and God's help! :-D
