And the U.S. standard of living declines as a result

Think about all the U.S. citizens being laid off, losing their jobs, myself included this year. If you are not making money, you darn well can't spend it. I was working in the cable division of Verizon which they had been trying to sell for the past 3 years. Well they finally found a buyer for the California and Florida markets. All paper work was signed before the court stepped in and put a hold on the sell. Well, I guess thank God for that because the buyer was Adelphia. You know, the CEO and his two sons that we saw on national TV last week, handcuffed and carted off to jail.

Needless to say that division of Verizon is still being dissolved and we are unemployed. I wonder if they will loan me a million.

Your situation is becoming more and more the norm, unfortunately.

With more and more of our jobs going to Mexico and overseas, our government will have less and less of our income taxes in the future. Have they thought of this?

Good luck to you.
