		<description>Some People just dont get it...

&quot;El Pollo de Oro 
July 28th, 2010 at 2:28 am 
 Problem: a country in which the majority of people are too poor to afford anything other than the basics (if they can even afford that much) is a country doomed to failure. Minus an American middle class, companies like Apple and Microsoft won’t have nearly enough Americans to sell their products to. &quot;


There are billions of other people outside the USA!  Wake up.  China and India are now consumers.  They do not need us anymore.  Cheaper labor and new markets.  The day of us getting all the comodities and exploiting labor are coming to a close.  The rich are fine.  The consumer here is done.</description>

		<description>Sorry, but I am slow.  

I dont get the handouts.  

So, you take money from the tax payers...and then give it back to other people.  

Tax payers lose a job.  

How do the other people get the tax payers handouts who just lost their job?

I know, lets get everyone jobs. 

Hooray!</description>

		<description>Although I hope the American population that goes without much suffering, as occurred in Brazil

With intent to break Mexico in the early &#039;80s, the U.S. ended up breaking Brazil. See the following consequences for the City of São Paulo.

After a major world crisis (1982) that ended with most of the 250,000 jobs in the Industries of the district of Santo Amaro (São Paulo), misery and violence erupted in the region, as well as the slums. Actually it was not the unemployed father who went to the crime, but their children who were not even old enough to labor market conditions, lack of money in the family (dysfunctional families) to get young people to leave their own money in order wrong. At this time Brazil was bankrupt; Moratorium, successive economic plans, and have not had for the poor or the very basics (sanitation, safety, education, health). Populations of the poorest states were still arriving in Sao Paulo continually increasing number of slums and crime. See the photos in this link:

Our Iraq in 1988--- Although they are all linked to the urban area, neighborhoods like this photo are like small cities independent, physically separated only by the rugged terrain of the region. You live the life of the neighborhood, knows the majority of its inhabitants and learns all about him. Through the popular &quot;Talking newspaper&quot; could compute 100 homicides from 1985 to 1995 in this small area of the photo,(links) most young people involved with drugs and / or crime. (All this without considering the Caiçara - There is another &quot;Independent City.&quot; ) Indices in the Middle of the entire Lilac for the time it was 10 deaths per year per km2 (Total of 150 per year in its 15 km2-Capão Redondo District). Of 150 deaths per year in the Lilac Whole number dropped to about 15 / 20 per year soon after 2000. In every metropolis (Sao Paulo), were 10,000 homicides per year (1985-1999). now that number was reduced by 70% Hopefully Brazil will pass through this new World Crisis (2009) without these types of consequence to happen again !!!!!!!!!!!

P.S.:Thank God, the crisis is over and Brazil will grow 7% in 2010 and 4% in 2011. By 2015 Brazil will be the 6th World economy.</description>

		<description>Believe me, when you try to start business in third countries, you meet many more serious barriers which are simply invisible from the USA. And they significantly increase your costs.</description>

		<description>So where will wages level off at? I know in Guatemala they&#039;re are still working for .30/hr. So let&#039;s look for a median worldwide wage someday of maybe 2.50-4.00/hour.

Who will buy the products then?</description>

		<description>Unfortunately, what Americans need is a dose of reality, and they&#039;re going to get it. While the big bad corporations had a hand in the demise of production in our country, the American &quot;worker&quot; is certainly culpable as well. Worker greed has driven the majority of production costs through the roof, via unions. 

I&#039;m all for paying a good wage. But making $50 and $75 per hour (and higher) for slapping cars and widgets together is ridiculous. 

Guess what, you just found out YOU&#039;RE NOT WORTH that. Something the rest of us have know for a long time. 

Go into government work, I guess. After all, they seem to be hiring.</description>

		<description>Companies forgot that when they lay off workers and move away, they lay off customers. The effects are not immediate, but then, when was the last time a corporation had more than a &quot;next quarter&quot; plan?</description>

		<description>There is a way out of the conundrum, but like anything worthwhile, it would not be easy. Contemplating the luist, I would describe it as impossible.  Something only God could accomplish, in fact...

Quickly summed up:

The population of the US must be taught to think logically instead of solely through emotion.  

The powers that be should all be arrested and tried for high treason.  Corporate, legal and political.

Pretend money must go away and be replaced by real money - how about using gold, silver and cupro-nickel and copper coins?   

A fresh start should be given to all with the new money, as happened in post WWII Germany when the old Reichmark was aboloshed and everyone was given a set amount of new Deutchmarks (this, because the black marketeers were the only wealthy people and it cut them off at the neck)

All laws should be in a book smaller tjan the Old Testament, with states taking precedence over federal.

Taxation should be on consumption only, including small federal import tariffs which would level the playing field for US wages.

The US should deport all illegals, close the border (which means to say, becomes a viable nation again), and only let people in who do so legally.  

Finally, perhaps it is an idea to ask that US companies working in the US solely, are taxed at a lesser level than multinationals, in order to level the playing field a bit.</description>

		<description>Mainstreet just doesn&#039;t understand the magnitude of this crisis. They are blind-fed that history says this &amp; that. The media certainly doesn&#039;t understand what&#039;s coming. Bernanke (Mr. optimist) even stated we are experiencing &quot;unusual uncertainty&quot;. For a man who didn&#039;t see the housing bubble or economic crisis coming, that is a very scary statement. So basically, if the FED has no idea what happened, let alone how to fix it, I&#039;d take the hint that things are much worse than expected, and move in with relatives. For even if you find a job, it won&#039;t pay the bills by the time this thing ends.</description>
