Why America's Economy Fell Off The Cliff

[duckbillplatty]

Sounds to me like youre anti-capitalism... Why else would you whine about buying products that are cheaper due to the free market?

And, after bitching about capitalism working, you bash the president, who is the ONE GUY who is trying to pass legislation to keep jobs IN AMERICA.

Does this make sense to anyone else????

I've always thought that joke was an effective criticism of the capitalist worker who valued cheap goods to the extent of undermining their own job. It says more about the American worker than it does the President, for sure.

Unions, minimum wage increases, and other government related or government mandated measures imposed on employers are the main reason we lost manufacturing jobs.

We priced ourselves out of the market and we're upset about it.

Globalization of the economy is inevitable....we need to work smarter to compete. If we artificially price ourselves out of menial manufacturing jobs, then those workers need to be trained and do something else...maybe more high tech.
