good comment about the drug prices. some industries in the US are protected it seems.
Agoraki Destro - I am merely stating the obvious. Socialist nations leave the worker destitute and unprotected.
Corporations are not concerned about political ideologies as much as they are political stability. Not pretty but true. What hopefully occurs and there are many examples is that increased employment and burgeoning incomes leads to independent people who demand more rights and privileges.
I doubt it - people who abort their children, atheists and pederasts have much fewer children and keep dying out. Democrats must find more viable electoral base.
Could someone please refresh my memory please, in what Article of the Constitution is having a job a right found?
Thanks
How many HEINZ companies are moving jobs offshore?
Food companies like Heinz don't outsource. They construct overseas production facilities that serve the local markets.
Well, if we wish to insure domestic tranquility, promote the general welfare, provide for a common defense, etc. then it should be pretty obvious that we need less fedgov interference in our affairs so we all can do what we do best.....creating businesses and jobs while providing for our families. Fedgov programs like AID which gives our tax $ to companies to help them move offshore, H-1B, NAFTA, GATT, etc. have all been very counter-productive for American workers.....fact is, if given a somewhat level playing field we'll kick a$$ but if our own fedgov continues to produce it's own brand of fascism we're in a race to the bottom.
We went through that in the Gas-crunch 70's... but in the end American's like larger cars. We could save a lot of fuel with better transportation systems in places like LA. Las Vegas is implementing a tram system from one end of the strip to the other (to cut traffic)... there's a lot that can be done... and I think our larger cars could still be made more efficient if they added some sort of semi-hybrid function for around-town driving.
The teachers here are whining they have 35 students in a clasroom and can't teach that many -- Bulletin!! We ALWAYS had 35 - 40 in our classes when I was growing up and we learned just fine -- why, because we paid attention and the teacher was in charge of the class, not the students.
Do not confuse people with facts! Cheap talk radio rehtoric never stands up for long when put up to the truth.
Anyways, Kerry based on his vioting record did vote for all the major free trade pacts, so he is no imporvment as far as working Americans are concerned. Gets depressing....................
I agree with you on that - Kerry speaks with forked tongue.
To my knowledge, most Indian students in the US are graduate students. They generally don't pay a dime for their graduate education; they either get fellowships (tuition paid plus a stipend); research assistantships (tuition paid plus a stipend for doing research) or teaching assistantships (tuition paid plus a stipend for teaching undergraduate classes or labs.)
Most protectionists ultimately fall back to the "promote the general welfare" precept. Ironic that the word "welfare" now means something entirely different.
Most graduate students in the U.S., period, have financial aid. Don't talk nonsense.
No, what's odd is that the minute HD outsources a single lock-nut it will become a "traitor" in your eyes, and I, in turn, will be obligated to defend it.
Oh, if only it were true. Students in the humanities & arts rarely get support. It's mostly in science & tech (follow the money all the way back to federal, military, and corporate grants for research.)
Anyway, the point wasn't whether or not graduate students got support. The point was that as engineering and/or science/tech students, Indian graduate students obtained support and didn't need to take out loans, rely on their governments, etc. Of course they are relying on *our* government (through the grant schemes mentioned above) and are relying on *our* state and federal tax dollars to subsidize their graduate educations.
Yes, and that will bring us to a showdown with the envirnomentalists. It's a conflict that has to happen, because our choices are stark: energy and economic independence, or eventual decline and invasion, as in "fall of Rome" style.
Actually, he claims to be a conservative!
