Dear WaPo,

I know that you are journalists and as such, have virtually no knowledge of anything useful in modern civilization.

However, you might want to memorize these words that are the only paths to economic success:

“We’ve got to make things.”

We already have a name for this. It’s called “tourism.” Some countries live off it, but I wouldn’t exactly call them the world’s richest. That is, in contradistinction to certain regions, which are in fact wildly rich. But it doesn’t work for an entire country of our size.

promises of visa reform.

It never ends. Why don't they offer us up as slaves while they're at it, its not like our government thinks of us as anything more these days.

” 1.3 million new jobs “

If you count ‘making quaint handicrafts to display at rundown roadside stands’ as a job.....

“We’ve got to make things.”

Its shocking how unrecognized is this simple principle, even among those who constantly harp on the decline of manufacturing, Mcjobs, and the switch to a “service economy.” I want to blame Lord Keynes, but more likely it comes from the same underlying beliefs that made Keynes so popular in the first place.

Why would shopping in America appeal to the Chinese? Most of the imports are made in China.

That will happen after the election.

It will be to pay back those countries for all those rotten MBS’s and CDS’s the TBTF sold to other country’s banks.
We are the collateral.

Mike Rowe. For a TV guy he really seems to get it. We better stop trashing blue collar people and learn how to make things and fix things are we’re screwed. He also slams PETA and our overregulated attempts at industry.

*************************************

They shop til they drop at the ER ...

They bought houses by from other illegals at inflated prices and skipped out back to Mexico with the cashout..

They send their kids to our public schools ,, they really like the price on that one ... we pay for them!

They disregard laws as if they don’t apply to them ... BECAUSE THEY DON’T.

But the real question for illegals is ... Why shop when you can shoplift!

the left cannnot stop for one day can they.

Now bring in shoppers with money , OK lets go with that I never saw Russian gangster women, rich europeans, why India and muslim countries.

Why do we not increase our immigration from Europe or at least eastern European countries, Yes I know they are all white and Christian but surely the left has no problem with keeping America white and Christian

If obama wins election you are looking at massive immigration from Asia, Africa and South America.

He has DADT in place and overturned next it will be used as a stepping stone to overturn DOMA by saying they can fight and die but cannot marry in their state thus throwing out milions of our votes.

The military will be reduced so mucha dn watch over gun rights too

He will have nothing to lose and we cannot afford 4 more years of this loon or his left over radical pals

We need guts and total power to overturn all of his regs, DADT openly serve homosexual cross dressing insane policy.

We need to get rid health care and then investigate how the DOJ has become a political racist dept.
How the pr homosexual cross dressing media has been working with the left.
What Jennings has been doing to our public schools

then there is fast and furious, green scams and pay back to his donors with our money.

then stop the illegal immigration while increasing immigration to countries like in Eastern Europe, South Africa who has educated people and good farmers
