What's wrong with our economy?


They say that a picture is worth a thousand words?

I say that this photo cost well over a million jobs!

Each time you get your bill from a cashier while shopping, remember to thank your greedy politician and the lobbyist for the extremely high prices!

US immigration bill's new visa rules could slow Indian outsourcing juggernaut

Lobbyist are like Lawyers, Catfish, Lobsters, Craw Fish, and other bottom dwellers of the earth and everyone knows this. Politicians on the other hand are paid good taxpayer money to do our bidding, not fill their pockets with corrupt money!

If the people do not shut down worms like this, we can never get our economy under control?

It is time to stop blaming countries like India and take control of our government officials no matter which party they might be HIDING IN!

However, the biggest greedy people are the companies, the unions and we the greedy public!

I say 'we' because I am just as guilty, we go to places like Wal Mart and buy things that cost a little less than our old friends, the mom and pop stores even though we know that.

First, it is made outside of this country, lost jobs.

Second, we know that it will last 1/10 as long as a good quality American made product and still we buy it?

We have done this for so long that Mom & Pop are no longer around!

It cost a little more because we have rules and laws to help protect us from companies taking short cuts and people that get paid to keep them honest.

I still have one garden hose bought in 1993 from a Mom & Pop store (Benny's) before my retirement.

Just since moving south I am now on my third batch of hoses, great saving?

I thing not!

So, you say, where are these stores to buy this great hose?

GONE!

Try this at Wal Mart, Target or Sears?

To help my 5 children learn the value of a dollar and how to handle credit, when they were old enough I would allow then to play some games with friends and have a piece of pizza and soda or get some groceries next door on the way home from school once or twice a week, if their grades were up to par.

I made arrangement with the pizza house and the little grocery store.

Believe it or not all five were real good at pinching pennies!

The little arcade where the children once played, the pizza house and the store are gone, sold to a strip mall!
