making sure the hairstylist knows how to do it, testing and approving new drugs
that sell for $12 a pill, building new water mains to carry the volume needed by
new business, making sure terrorist don't get on the plane, etc...etc..etc...


So they need to pay more taxes and STFU.



Regarding the auto industry; frankly I think Toyota, BMW, Saab, Volvo, Volkswagen,
Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Hyundai, Jaguar, and a few others had more to do with
that issue than some government thing that hurt Detroit. Bullshit, Detroit got fucking
trounced with higher quality machines from foreign countries.

As far as paying employees "too much"; businesses only pay what they can afford
no matter what. I'll worry about too high pay causing a business to go under
as soon as the NFL fails.

You want to fix the economy, then fix the school system.
People with "Einsteinian" brains can't afford to go to college and that's why
they never got a chance to invent the engine that would have saved Detroit.

We need more brains, which only means more people with education.

Look at the Japanese running circles around us in micro chip technology and
other tech sciences.

Here's a mind blower for you :

Rap(hip hop) music is one of America's most profitable export products.
A CD produce for $40k can take in millions in foreign markets.
That's a large profit margin even if the gross is no that impressive.

The ghetto is producing better than these stupid business that just push paper
around the office and call it work. We've got huge buildings everywhere and nothing
ever comes out the building except paper(forms/bills/legal/garbage).
We can't export that shit!!!!!!!!


That's what's wrong with the economy....WE DON'T PRODUCE SHIT,
but paper.

I just looked around and notice my:

- Japanese computer
- Japanese synthesizer
- Japanese cell phone
- Japanese printer
etc...

But hey, all not bad.
I do have some clunky assed American furniture and.............. lots of paper.
We don't produce shit because it's too expensive to produce anything in this country, instead they do it other countries, where they don't have all the regulations, the US companies can't compete with global labor when we are the highest. Answer, Get rid of NAFTA.
Yes we have great services in this country, but if you watch the news, they are suffering. In California, the schools suck ass, I raised my daughter in this shit, my sister moved to Penn. and the schools are such a big difference. WHat's the difference, California doesn't have the money, yet we get more taxes on us than most any other state, where are they spending it, oh, things like illegal aliens crossing the border, squirting out a baby and living on welfare for that one kid, San Bernardino county paid out something like 87 million dollars to these people last year, got to wonder how an illegal alien is cashing a welfare check?

Yeah, Japan makes a better car, wait, except Toyota

And nothing is made in Japan anymore, now it's made in Taiwan

And I want to leave this with one little fact

If you're going to play the race card against the republicans, you probably don't know that the republican party was founded on ANTI-SLAVERY and the first republican president was Abe Lincoln

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
