What John Ratzenberger said in this video is so true. Our manifactors need to stop sending their businesses to countries that don't like us to do their business. We need them here to keep our economy going. methodistgirl
i cant stand outsourcing. first off our first president advised us to isolationists, second china practically owns us now. china and several other countries in the asian area use american dollar bills (some of them) however if they were to switch over to the euro we would suffer a partial depression if not a full one. we are so dependant on them its pathetic.
GAHHH!!, the last thing we need is advice from anyone affiliated with the sitcom "cheers" when i read the cnn article discussing his contributions to the health bill protest i thought he was the fat rosey cheeked bastard , yet to find out that he's the homosexual post master made me even more sick to my stomach, not homophobic, but this guy gave me the creeps, anywho, you'd do a whole lot a good shutting your fucking mouth, mr. ratzenberger
I have a local hardware store (remember those?) within walking distance of my house. My ex came here the other day and said he was going to get something at Home Depot (in the next town). I insisted that he try the local store, they are well stocked and the employees are actually HELPFUL. He wouldn't hear of it. Off to Home Depot he went.
Ross Perot said about NAFTA: "That giant sucking sound you hear are jobs leaving America."
I remember a few years ago when WalMart was screaming the mantra of the "Made in America" flag waving bullshit. Now they are almost turning into Red Chinese Communist.
There is going to be a day of reconciliation for corporate America, and it isn't going to be pretty.
Those people that you are putting out of work by off shoring are your customers you stupid asses.
It will become more and more expensive to manufacture in China and India when the expense of shipping, substandard quality, delays and manufacturing are factored into the equation.
I ordered a jacket from Joseph Banks and it took three months to get it from China on back order. THREE MONTHS? Then when I received it it was very substandard quality.
You can not sell your products to people who don't have jobs and I don't give a damn where you make it.
I stopped shopping at Wal-Mart over 2 years ago, really folks....is it going to kill you to put off a major purchase for a little and pay a little bit more to buy American? WAY TO GO JOHN, CLIFF FTW!!!
"In order for America to remain truly competitive in a global economy, we must invest in our workforce to stimulate small business growth. Small businesses create two-thirds of all new jobs in this country, and the vast majority of them are paying their new workers higher than the minimum wage." ---Sen. John Kerry
