Something Wrong With American Manufacturing
Submitted by danarothrock on Sat, 11/21/2009 - 20:44There is something wrong with the way American business performs. America does the R&D and introduces new gadgets to the market. It overprices and underproduces.
Like the transistor radio in 1954 - $49.95 - equivalent to $364 in 2006. The Japanese and Chinese jump on this and take over the market. Same with cameras, consumer electronics, household appliances, cell phones, cars, trucks, drywall, fruit cocktail, etc.

Regency TR-1. $49.95 1954
Obama promises jobs,why then won't he stop them from going offshore and to foreign guest workers?
Submitted by admin on Mon, 06/08/2009 - 13:24In the news the Obama administration promises to save 600,000 jobs. I believe that is $1.3 billion per job by the way.
So, why is it the Obama administration will not stop the use of our taxpayer dollars to ship jobs overseas, bring in more foreign guest workers and refuse to use any system that verifies if a potential employee is authorized to work in the United States?
This is just ridiculous to not make sure all Stimulus money is tied to American workers, American jobs, U.S. citizens. Instead our taxpayer dollars are pouring overseas, helping other nations instead of the United States and the middle class.
How disconnected from economic reality does it have to get with an official unemployment rate of 9.4%?
