When that crowd loses their jobs they'll be singing a different tune.

Try to imagine what it will be like in 3 more years.

Well, not exactly. You just need to lift the horizon of your vision to observe what is being constructed

Yes they do. The buildings are full of machines to spy on us, subdue us, and confine us.

Oops.

You’re right. As of November the latest data compiled, here are the numbers:

America sold to China: 109 billion.
China sold to America: 403 billion.

This “global trade” thing stinks.

The demonrats have about destroyed our economy and their voters will be the last to know that we are becoming like the evil nation of Germany under the hateful Hitler.
Professing themselves to be wise they became fools and changed the glory of God into an image made like unto a man...
The left of the world are liars and murderers by nature as is their leader, Satan.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord (Jesus), but sin is a reproach to any people.

And the demonrats will be the last to know this fact even as America sinks to the bottom of the sea of humanity much like the Titanic sank to the bottom of the Atlantic. The sin of pride is the worst sin of all and the left loves the I wills, as Satan did before Jesus saw him cast out of heaven like lightning.

Sadly, the President is still committed to pro government, anti-growth positions that exacerbated these problems in the first place.

I don't believe this islamist President is committed to anything other than the destruction of the United States and the installation of sharia law.

While it is true there are many without jobs, it is also true that there are many with jobs. The economy is operating at a different level than previously. Companies have adjusted to the current levels and many, but not all especially small businesses, are profitable.

The cash has been hoarded. There are indications that the horded cash is now being allocated to capital spending for growth and more importantly to permit operations at a less costly and reduced level.

Although the Fed is said to be responsible for the level of the markets, there is an element of profit and growth of profitability. That is a factor in the price increase and is the reason to have a position in stocks.

There are many without jobs. That is a matter of choice.

There are untold numbers of jobs available for those that make the effort to learn to drive a truck. Loans are available for the training

In two areas of Texas and another in North Dakota jobs go begging and those there work very long hours doing just about everything. Oil workers need to be fed and payrolls need to be calculated and paid with deposits in banks and on and on. If you show up, you can find a job

But but but but there must be a recovery! Industry insists, and congress agrees to the tune of 65,000 H-1Bs, that there are no unemployed American engineers!

That's bull. Unemployment problems were here before Obama and will be here after Obama. Bring the jobs home.

They sure have. Remember when the Republicans were in charge during George W. Bush’s presidency? The economy was thriving and unemployment was practically nonexistent.

I'm all for buying Made is USA, but if the companies support far left causes, I'll avoid them to the best of my ability.

In fact, I already have made that choice. It left me with a severe case of buyer's remorse, but at least I didn't support hrc.org by buying from one of their partners.

“Now that I’m old, the don’t build large buildings.”

Sure they do; they’re called “self-storage units”, and they’re used to ease Americans into our reduced standard of living where home ownership is a thing of the past.

The Dems are making matters worse, but if things were good in 2007 then Obama would have never been elected. In fact, if things were good in 2000 Gore would have been elected; this has been a gradual downward spiral simply accelerated by Dems.

Idiots here on Free Republic enthusiastically embraced shipping jobs to asia, and were defending it against all debate years ago. These were, by and large, the same idiots who insisted that there was no real estate bubble and it wasn’t going to pop.

The cost of obtrusive government regulations, from waste disposal laws that became ludicrous to extravagant building and safety codes are big parts of this, and a lot of people explained what the consequences would ultimately be.

We aren’t laughing now, but certainly mockery and calling into question the capacity to make a salient assessment is appropriate for those who insisted that our level of government intrusion was not going to have the effects we are seeing now.

Not all of the damage started with Obonghit.
