TODAYS AMERICA- WHY WE NO LONGER HAVE ENOUGH JOBS?
Did anyone watching the State-of-the-Union last night here one word on why we can’t make these things in America again? No!
Our President and Congress ignore the problems which are “REGULATIONS, UNIONS and POWER”. They just love to soak it to the energy industry so we can make OPEC and AL Gore richer. C Brewer
THE STORY
Men looking for work, start the day early using an alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN).
Next they plug in the coffee pot (MADE IN CHINA).
They shave with an electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG).
They put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA).
After cooking breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sits down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today.
After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he gets in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) filled with GAS (from Saudi Arabia) and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.
At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his Computer (made in MALAYSIA), he decides to relax for a while.
He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL), pours himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turns on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and wonders why he can’t find a good paying job in AMERICA
HE’S PRAYING HE CAN GET A JOB WITH SOME HELP FROM A PRESIDENT MADE IN GOD KNOWS WHERE!
ANON…..Thanks Ron
A Conservative View 
I would generally agree that unions, regulations and power are a major concern and hurts a lot of business. But you also have to consider the number of states that offer “right to work” and other incentives for companies to develop. GA is one of those, as well as TX (I believe). I personally would LOVE to see a lot more manufacturing industry move to GA.
Texas is a right to work state and is doing pretty well. The scary part is the regulations that are killing the energy industry. We can be energy independent in five years if Washington just disappeared. I spent my last 16 work years in the energy industry and the costs of drilling and producing oil and gas have increased by 1000% in the last 20 years with over 60% of the increase being wasted with regulatory bullshit. Energy is the safest industry on earth and 95% of all pollution has resulted in transporting the products that we have to buy from people who hate our guts. Why, because the politicians are more interested in making the Arabs happy with our money. There is no other factual reason possible for our independence other than power brokers and ignorant politicians.
