Economy Still Floundering
Despite the rosy statements by much of the press, things are not going well. Unemployment has increased to 9% and the consumer price index is up 2.7%. Food and gasoline are toping the price increases but the weak dollar is also putting pressure on import prices which are up also.
It is difficult to understand why Americans still to not pressure their politicians to stand up and support the things that grow the economy. Things like reducing taxes on businesses so they can invest in new production, reducing regulations, encouraging the export of goods made in the U.S.A., placing tariffs on imported goods that are unfairly priced or destructive to U.S. manufacturing, establishment of national goals for manufacturing and helping companies achieve those goals by supporting research and education.
If we keep doing things the same way we are doing them now we are headed for even more trouble in the economy. Albert Einstein said “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”.
Have we learned our lessons yet?
We believe in supporting companies that manufacture products made in the U.S.A. We are not opposed to fair and balanced trade but we want to help U.S. workers keep their jobs.
