- We have staple shut the mouths of complete idiots like junkyard dog Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh who have touted ''free markets'' and ''globalization'' for all this time.
America has been in a ''race to the bottom'' since 1971 when Nixon took us off gold and ushered in the British Adam Smith''s ''invisible hand''.
China never allowed Adam Smith to sneak in his ''invisible hand'' and yet now America is on it''s knees and at China''s mercy.
Sean Hannity and his plan for ''globalization'' has been discredited.
We must reject ''globalization'' raise tarrifs on all imports and start manufacturing our own products.
That would shut down Wall Street/City of London because there''s no money to be made from usury...
BUT SO WHAT!!!
SHUT DOWN THESE PARASITES NOW!!! - Reply to this comment

- Mr. Obama called latest report of U.S. job losses Friday "a stark reminder of how urgently action is needed"
Since the TARP was done in a heartbeat and now they can''t even find where half the money went I''d say they better take their time on this one. We''re mortgaging our great great grandkids here. Congress took a vacation rather than going back to WA to oversee TARP. They''re worthless. Then obama had a freak out because McCain thought it important enough to take a break from campaign to go oversee this massive bailout. obama and the Dems just want their big azz green agenda and country makeover. Congress should say HELL NO. We''re going to scrutinize this money big time. - Reply to this comment
- Have they factored in that a lot of these jobs were service sector held by illegal aliens. What happened to the 10 to 20 million illegal aliens that came here looking for work. Some of this unemployment has to be them. At least you''d hope so.

- Isolationism.
It''''s what fueled our greatness in the 1800 and 1900''''s, and our "globalization" is what led to our demise.
Shut the borders, and impose high tariffs to allow foreign products on our soil.

Since China owns most of our T-Bills (debt), I doubt we will be putting any tariffs on their products. - Reply to this comment
- Bend over and kiss your azzes goodbye, Droolers.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention, LEGAL Hispanics have a very High Positive birth rate and Anglo-Saxon Whites have a High Negative birth rate. Assuming constant current birth rates, LEGAL Hispanics will become the Majority race in the entire USA by the year 2042. However, both Senator McCain and President Obama will legalize all 12 millions Undocumented Aliens (Amnesty). Therefore, the Hispanics Majority status will happened much sooner than 2042.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/08/13/national/main4349428.shtml
After the Hispanics become the Majority in America by 2042, there will be no Immigration laws to break since the following new laws will be passed by the U.S. Congress and Signed by the U.S. President:
-No more Raids.
-Amnesty for all Undocumented Aliens.
-Elimination of the Quota system in the U.S. Immigration laws.
-Return of all U.S. Stolen Territories back to Mexico.
-Tear down all Border Walls.
-Eliminate the Border Patrol Agency.
-Spanish as the Official U.S. Language.
-Named the Minuteman Project a Terrorist Organization.
-Not add the White species to the Endanger Species Act.
-Outlaw the Republican Party.
-Return Jerusalem to Palestine since they have the same skin color as all Hispanics whom have Arab Roots.

- There is no lack of skilled American''''s looking for work but businesses like Microsoft have learned they can widen their profit margin using H1B visas and using less qualified but much cheaper forgieners.

Capitalism got no Heart. Capitalism will do whatever for more Profit even if it means Self-Destruction (suicide) later like with the Subprime Mortgage crisis. - Reply to this comment

An Indian or a Chinese can claim exactly what you just commented. I call it Ego and Pride which does not helps fix our current meltdown. - Reply to this comment
- Folks,
If you wish to do something about the job situation here in America, then write to your Congressman and demand they eliminate the H1B Visa program that they created in 1993.
With this Visa, American Corporations can InSource/Bring just about any professional or non-professional worker to America.
American should fix our Education System to produce more Professionals especially Engineers instead of opening the door to foreigners to take these jobs from us. - Reply to this comment

Democracy promotes Divisiveness because it inherents Individualism. A serious Crisis such as a Great Depression must take place for Americans to Unite.
Right now, we are the Great Divided States of America. - Reply to this comment

Before WWII, America was nobody.
After WWII, America had a World Economic Monopoly. The economies of all other developed nations were in Ruined and Destroyed. Other nations were Forced to buy from America at our High Monopoly Price which raised our Standard of Living thru the Roof.
Today, America got No World Economic Monopoly. America must lower it Standard of Living just to have an opportunity to Compete with other now Fully Developed nations.
What do you call a system like Capitalism that since 1776 has given us 3 Great Depressions and 36 Recessions? In each of these bottoms, Socialism saved Capitalism.
I do not Blame or Credit Capitalism and Democracy for our Prosperities after WWII. - Reply to this comment
- YOU FALL TO REALIZE THAT THE U.S. IS THE MOST AND PRACTICALLY THE "ONLY" INNOVATIVE COUNTRY ON EARTH! It is in our cell structure! Most of the rest of the world, JAPAN, FRANCE, ENGLAND, SPAIN, ITALY and the list goes on and on are SERVICING COUNTRIES! Or take an idea or invention ALREADY CREATED and perfect it! Like the Japanese do!

Stop counting on the America Empire to save you and the world. All Empires have their raise and fall on their own.
Start counting on the new China Empire.
Last year, China graduated more Engineers than all the combined engineers of the world.
Last year, China graduated more Ph.Ds than all the combined Ph.Ds of the world.
Last year, China was granted more Patents from the U.S. Patents office than from Americans and Latin America combine.
Last year, China beat America with more Nobel Prizes.
I can on and on but my point is this America Empire Torch is going to the China Empire Amigo. Tu futuro esta con los Chinos y no con los Gringos. Espana fue un Emperio en la epoca de la gran reina Victoria. - Reply to this comment

I lost my Professional Engineering job of 13 years with the same Corporation to India after I trained them as directed.
Yes, American Corporations have move millions and millions of Professional jobs to overseas as President-Elect Obama has said publicly just yesterday. - Reply to this comment
