Al-Qaedas head Osama Bin Laden votes for McCain to win the US Presidential elections. He expressed his views on a local TV while giving a glimpse of the book hes writing on Al-Qaedas struggle. He declared Bush govt a source of their global publicity though in a negative style. Even then he favored McCain over Obama to win the US elections & Bush policies to carry on. For that would enable him & his group to destroy US economy more easily & destroy the status of USA as a so called super power.

if cheap chinese labor didnt make your clothes and mexicans harvest your food you would be starving with the ass out of your pants

owchywawa, you and your kool-aid drinking friends are who's to blame.

People like you don't even know what's good for you. Please stop voting and please stop discussing politics if you choose to remain ignorant.

And nicky, if we didn't have to pay such huge tarriffs to export, while China pays a pittance, it's no wonder why jobs get outsourced. Republican trade policies my friend. That's what's to blame.

Ravi Batra never operated a small business during the Reagan years. I did, and I prospered. The main reason for outsourcing is cheap labor costs. The average hourly wage of about 85 cents in China is one-tenth that of the American worker. The average hourly wage in India is $2 an hour. Let's not forget these laborers don't get benefit packages, vacations and 401K's. Even zero taxes on small business could not compete with these advantages.

Outsourcing sends U.S. dollars to foreign countries. It removes money from our economy and raises the economy of the other countries. Prosperity is a beautiful thing but we must consider the cost. Keeping middle class jobs here means there is a broader tax base and that your share of the tax burden should decrease when the domestic work force is strong and incomes are up.

hmmmmm obama looks... kinda different...

[violethill]

It's hard to fathom how Republicans could be elected to Federal office, considering the sheer size of the economic disaster they've put our country in today (2008). A trillion dollar "recovery package" for vacuous financial markets. Indeed, the tax cuts for the wealthy & trickle-down economic didn't work for Reagan or Bush Sr. neocons--that is, if you were middle income or poor. Yet again we elected a thief in Bush Jr., who systematically raped our Clintonian prosperity into the ground. Go Vote!

"The recovery plan was to fix the problem "

That was caused by democrats. Watch "burning down the house"

"Indeed, the tax cuts for the wealthy & trickle-down economic didn't work for Reagan"

Of course it did. The problem was that oil prices was raised, and the inflation increased.

Reagan did not have a good economic policy. No sane person would take you seriously.

[owchywawa]

"Reagan did not have a good economic policy. No sane person would take you seriously."

There are many sane people who support it and you know it. You should not attack a person's intelligence simply because they disagree with you. This is a useless pursuit. You should make arguments to support your case which include actual economics; not simply point out who supports what.
