they will now take the whole textile industry, semiconductors and tech and high tech manufacturing, they will soon be coming for biotech, and we have all seen the ominous signs regarding autos. where does it end?

Didn't we hear the exact same thing about Japan in the 1980's? Please...

the US economy is drivien down to only service jobs, government jobs, lawyers, real estate agents, and corporate executives

Please, do not insult us with such nonsense. Technology driven business, logistics driven business, transportation business, etc, PLUS all the infrastructure support required for those businesses, will all remain strong.

Maybe you need to let your finger do the walking through the Yellow Pages and see how many businesses are truly "threatened".

The best thing we can do to compete with China and other nations is to dismantle the PC controlled government school system and make them compete with each other so we can be better equipped to compete with the world and WIN!

go through the yellow pages yourself, you'll find mostly services. that's what the US economy is becoming - services and government.

Yes !! Apologize for the insult of pointing out the obvious.

Let me ask you this. The technology business will remain strong ? How are technology stocks doing lately ? Not so lately...say 5 years ? Transportation business ? How are those airlines ? How's Detroit been doing ?

1.)We did not uproot entire industries and send them to Japan.

2.)Also for the most part Japan beat us on quality not price. Their wages were comparable to ours. We are being beaten by china with 80 cent per hour wages.
