10 Good reason why the American Economy is Bad!

1.  N.A.F.T.A. (North American Free Trade Agreement.)  N.A.F.T.A. didn't make sense from the beginning; how was the US going to compete with Mexico's and Canada's cheaper labor, lower cost of living and much lower overhead?  And how could anyone think; since the US exports very little to either country in comparison to what it imported, there really was any way the US could take in more money then it spend unless steeper tariffs were imposed.

 

2.  Allen Greenspan (Allen knows how to balance a bank statement as good as anyone, however Allen takes so much time calculating what's need next move, it's time for another new policy by the time he presents his last one.)

 

3.  No "American Product" loyalty (American's make most purchases based on price.  If you don't believe me, ask Wal-mart!).

 

4.  No "Built in America" pride (American's make substandard products, and don't get mad a me, I'm an American and proud of it, but hey, we need to start getting our act together!)

 

5.  Outrageous CEO/CFO and white collar bonus and benefits packages, while the blue collar workers loses their jobs.  How many times do we need to listen to the news speak of another bankruptcy only later to find out, the CEO's had received a few million dollar bonus that year?  Here's a classic example; the CEO of NASDAQ received a 1.4 million dollar salary, in addition he received a differed bonus of 140 million ($140,000,000.00.)  Now, I don't know about you, but I lost my retirement a few years back because this jerk allowed hundreds of companies to doctor their books, raise their expectations and stock prices, then sell their stocks before you and I had time to figure out the truth.  Wasn't it at least a little bit NASDAQ responsibility to know what company's were doing what, especially since NASDAQ was the one that rated them and posted their profiles?

 

6.  Uneven foreign trade regulations (not a level playing field!)  China subsidizes much of its countries products and services in order to not just compete, but dominate, and dominate the US economy they do!

 

7.  No company/employee loyalty.  Why do people think it's ok for a business to close its doors in America while opening a new facility in Mexico, Canada and China?  Do you really think this is just smart business?  Well, for those that do, guess what?  Your job may be next, do you have a backup plan for your future income if your company dumps you and moves?

 

8.  Improve Education in America!  Have you looked at our College enrollments lately?  See many Americans at the top of the Dean's list?

 

9.  Greed, self centeredness, nearsighted, self-serving, uncompassionate, well you know, just simple old selfish!

 

10.  Put God back in our country!   No God, no ethics!  No ethics, no country.  By the way, it's ok to put the Ten Commandments back in Alabama.  Our laws were designed to protect the rights of the minorities, but that doesn't mean every minority self interest needs to rule the majority.

 

 

Solution:

American's should take pride in the products and services we offer, you know, make it right the first time!

 

Buy products that say "Made in America."  Now, I know this actually doesn't mean that the entire product was made in the good old USA, but it does mean most of the product was either made or assembled, and this also means, your neighbor, brother, sister, mom, dad or whomever might just keep his or her job a little bit longer.

 

Our American business leaders need to care more about their business and its employees, after all, that's why they were hired.  Not to simply take as much money from the company as possible then leave it flat broke.  If you're going to layoff employees, at least give up some of your wages, you know; show you care and are willing to sacrifices also.

 

Someone, anyone; stop the press from all the negative forecast.  I really don't know why our newspapers, TV and radio always need to look at the worst of everything, but I for one, am tiered of it!

Is this America to you?

We elect Presidents that get caught having affairs while lying to their wife and constituents.

We honor athletes, entertainers and thugs, while despising our teachers, law enforcement agencies and church leaders.

Our CEOs and corporate attorney's run off with all the money, while the business is moved to another country and the American works, well, their simply laid off without  their pensions and retirement.

We elect judges that once studied our Constitution, then took an oath to uphold it true meaning, only later to re-interpret the same Constitution and reevaluate God's real place in America.

Our Priest become pedophilers and our ministers seem to be gay while at the same time,  they pick and choose which part of the Bible is right for them and which parts are best for you.  

We teach our kids to be self centered, never admit anything unless their attorneys are present, and whatever they do, play to win, after all, "if you're not cheating, you  really don't want to win bad enough."  And by the way, make sure you kids pickup a few condoms at the principles office.  And if you do drugs, don't forget not to share needles, you can pick those up at the local Health department.

Even our definition of "hero" has changed, it used to be a hero was someone that placed their life in danger to help or save another, while today, today a hero is a movie star, sports super star or gangster in the poor side of town.. 

Don't forget to cry racism if things don't go your way!

But what am I saying, America still great, yes I know, we just release a few thousand convicted criminals last week because of over crowding, but hey, give them just one more change, they were only in their for drug distribution, prostitution and embezzlement.

What am I complaining about, things will get better as soon as Arnold Schwarzenegger is nominated, oops, I mean elected, Governor.
