NORTH AMERICA IS NOT THE UNITED STATES!
Let’s get real. When our government decided to buddy up with Mexico, and Canada, with NAFTA, we had lots of jobs and the United States economy was strong. NAFTA gave our corporations an excuse to send jobs not only to Mexico and Canada, but also the words “Free Trade” gave them a reason to move jobs any where outside of the United States. So they did, and still are doing it.
Let’s not get mad at Toyota, Honda, and other foreign car and manufacturing companies when they have problems. We should help them fix their problems because our citizens of the United States put a lot of these cars together right here in the United States. Toyota and Honda have brought a lot of jobs into our United States, while our so called American manufacturing companies have been steadily sending the jobs out of the United States.
If it wasn’t for the foreign corporations bringing manufacturing jobs into the United States we would be having even greater economic problems. I’m not sure how many people are now working for foreign manufacturing companies in the United States, but nobody seems to want to talk about it. Well I think it’s time we do talk about it. We need to get real about real jobs.
These so called “Stimulus Jobs” are no more than government short term jobs paid for by tax payer dollars. They will go away when the tax dollars are used up. They are not real jobs, they are projects the government created to give the impression that the United States is coming out of a bad economic downturn.
Let’s get real! Take a look at what is really happening with the United States economy.
In short, the government has taken billions of tax payer dollars and is either giving it away to people not working with such programs as, food stamps, welfare, employment education, temporary job placement, unemployment extensions, creating temporary tax payer paid jobs, and this list goes on and on.
Now, given the same stimulus dollars, a business man or woman, or group of business men or women could figure out a way to spend that money to create real and lasting jobs. We lack business men and women in government.
Back to my main point…America is not the United States! It’s time we start thinking about the United States. Mexico and Canada support their own people. It’s time we go back to supporting our own people. Not North America, but…The United States.
Please let me give you some simple examples of what we need to do to fix the economy in the United States.
- We need to first, freeze the size of our government. (all of it) Then we need to start reducing the size of our government. (all of it) Then we need to align the pay and compensation our government receives with that of the tax payers; including retirement and social security. . Any mandates should be funded by the mandating branch of the government. Then we must require our government to be responsible to the people. That’s not all, but it’s a good start.
- The tax payers can no longer afford the cost of our government and should not have to bare the costs created by their irresponsible spending, and their lack of common sense and self management.
- Now that we all feel better about our government, we can start to repair our economy.
- We must require our government to get out of our way so we can run a profitable business. I’m not saying to ignore our environment or abuse our neighbors with our businesses. I’m saying quit punishing us for being successful. That’s what creates more jobs.
- Our economy will grow when our government lets our businesses profit without their interference.
- It’s time to tell our government to clean up their own back yard and until they do, stay out of our businesses so the people in the United States will have places to work.
- THE PROBLEM WITH OUR ECONOMY IS OUR GOVERNMENT!!! WE CAN NO LONGER AFFORD IT.
We’ll talk more about this soon. Please keep reading and returning to this web site and don’t be afraid to agree, or disagree.
Talk to you soon,
