Regarding your post about the economic reasons for jobs aka capital investment flowing overseas. Unless the USA produces goods and services to back our currency given the current flow of capital we can expect very few Americans to be able to afford any of teh imported goods now coming into the USA and a much lower standard of living. Should that occur the political stability which has been one of the American economy's primary advantages will evaporate.

Harp,

Agreed. I am betting on America's entreprenurs to do what they've always done - innovate and create. This is, I believe the missing piece, ie. a dynamic economy that reinvents itself continually. There are not a static number of jobs that will never change that we just shuffle around the world. Americans are better at this economic innovation and reinvention than most other nations.

Harp, your post was excellent! Thanks for expending your efforts to respond.
