After hearing President-elect Obama promise to create more jobs, as one step to fix our economy, I think there also should be more concern about jobs being shipped overseas.

When was the last time you wore a shirt, underwear, a pair of slacks or a suit that was made it the U.S.A.? Or purchased a kitchen utensil or a tool made here? Eventually, we will be making things offshore that we won't be able to sell here because not enough people will be working to create a market. Not to mention companies that shift their answering services overseas, where most of the time I can hardly understand the person to whom I'm speaking.

I would like to see someone stand up to those companies and hit them with a windfall profits tax on the money they've saved by sending those jobs offshore. Only when there are no savings and higher costs (via taxes), will jobs begin to come home. Then, it might not be necessary to worry about "creating new jobs."

Me? It seems you haven`t read the same posts as i. I have seen many attacks on liberals disguised as "ban karen". I think karen is a smart women. I don`t always agree with her though. And it does seem she stirs the pot then flees to another post.

Think about that the next time your in WalMart. If you are serious about this, shop at local mom and pop store. At least if you buy something from overseas, you are supporting local economy. Try Latrobe hardware instead of Lowes. Oooh, thats right, to far out of the way or yes you will save .98 on that item at WalMart.
(I'm not affiliated with Latrobe Hardware by the way,just an example.

Karen, Dem ya giant douches were ya at now? Why did you abandon your Messiah! You idiots make it so easy for us to clown your HNIC. Funny how the NHIC's wording changes as time goes on. First, it was create jobs. Since that aint happening the wording has become "save or create"...and he is fudging those numbers. Your buffoonish messiah is failing...How about that Fort Hood terror attack that happened on your buffoons watch...First they say its not terrorism 15 mins after its happened...then they change the story that h'es not dead and it "could" be terrorism...which is it? Obviously this rookie is in over his head...They can't even weed out one jihad doctor and they wanna be in charge of my healthcare. Obama and the Dems...bend over and suck my dick

Daily Horoscope for January 6

Virgo

If you've got an important task to accomplish, this is the time to do it. A Libra Moon ensures that you're level headed, focused and unmoved by the behaviour of others for the next day or so. Don't put any undue pressure on yourself, Virgo: if you don't get it right the first time, you know there'll be another chance. The pessimistic people that you are likely to encounter today need your logic and positive input.
