Eben - thanks again for starting another thread that has left all of us who read it dumber....
At this point, I read these posts for the humor, ahh but what the hell......
RE: No outsourcing - Last time I checked we lived in a global economy. Outsourcing is not a choice, its a fact of life, business can not survive on isolationism. Outlawing or whatever it is you suggest for outsourcing to be blunt is a cop-out. Be more competitive; banning outsourcing does nothing but eliminate competition. Are you afraid to compete or just lazy?
In regards to the comments about "think with your wallet and not your fear" or something like that..........
......1.5 million jobs created since August - unemployment is below the average of the 1970's, 80's and 90's. The massive job loss was the result of a market anomoly created by the tech market. How many people do you know sat around playing fooseball at work burning VC money at a record rate - prohibiting future investmetn in new technology and new job creation..... PRICELINE - perfect example - that worked well....
Oh and FYI - household wealth is near a record high.... You are right think with you wallet...
Finally, someone refered to the Imus clip from the other day.... Here it is....
IMUS: "Do you think there are any circumstances we should have gone to war in Iraq, any?" KERRY: "Not under the current circumstances, no. There are none that I see. I voted based on weapons of mass destruction. The President distorted that, and I've said that. I mean, look, I can't be clearer. But I think it was the right vote based on what Saddam Hussein had done, and I think it was the right thing to do to hold him accountable. I've said a hundred times, there was a right way to do it and a wrong way to do it. The president chose the wrong way. Can't be more direct than that."
SOMETIMES IT JUST A MATTER OF CHOOSING THE LESS OF TWO EVILS...... Unfortunately, a 4 star general that favors flat tax is not running......
