Your so far off the map about japanese steel. The coke and coal that they get mostly comes from china and it has so much sulfer in it that it creates **** poor metal.

When the american worker's pay has risen 20% in the past 30 years while the ceo's pay has risen 2,600% in the past 30 year, I just don't see the room for these magical 50K a year non-skilled jobs. Actually, adjusted for inflation, the average American workers pay has declined during the last 30 years, while CEO pay has gone way the hell up. Add to that mix that corporate taxes, capital gains and taxes in investment income has gone way the hell down and the middle class is expected to make up for that through higher personal property taxes and sales taxes. Why should Dell get $280 million in tax breaks to create 2500 jobs (at $112,000 per job) when smaller companies get $100,000 to create 250 jobs that pay higher salaries and better benefits than Dell? |

You can try to argue, but the best steel in the world comes from usx and weirton steel. Bullshit. Everyone who has been awake for the last two decades knows that the quality of US automobiles has been playing catch-up to the Japanese and Koreans for years. Japanese steel beats the crap out of US's for quality and production costs. Why do you think so many US steel mills are closed? They couldn't compete against the Japanese. THe US steel mills have closed for a variety of reasons, some to do with quality and most to do with greed on the part of the managers and owners. Also there is something called dmuping - they are selling the steel over here for less than it costs them to produce over there to close our factories and get market share. That is illegal, but you seem to think it is fine and dandy! Where people aren't so ****ing greedy to demand $50,000 plus benefits a year for a no-skill job like American workers do.

Ha! No-skilled UAW jobs that average over $50k a year are what I am talking about. However, you are right, they are getting harder and harder to find, as these no skilled jobs go straight to mexico, china, and other countries that have workers willing to work hard at high quality and not be so ****ing greedy. Sorry dickhead - those UAW jobs you claim are no-skilled jobs actually require hand-eye coordination as well as computer and quality control skills that make it worth paying those higher salaries. The manufacturing jobs are going overseas, but the US quality is not going with it - thne crappy tools you buy at Harbor Freight and thje crappy clothes and damn near everything else you buy at Wal-Mart made in China isn't higher quality. Once the foreign manufacturers have market share, the quality goes down hill because they don't have any serious competition - it merely becomes a race to the bottom in terms of price and quality. Pay more for poor service and no selection is more like it. I get my tools from local sources and the selection is just as good if not better that the big box stores. It's truely amazing how well you can talk out your ass like that. Maybe you could take your show out on the road.... see if you can earn 50K a year plus bennies doing it...lol Maybe I could get idiots like you who believe the drivel that spews out of their shop steward's asses to pay me 50K plus bennies. You seem to be quite the idiot who parts easily with money and believes that shit doesn't stink. Is that Johnston County redneck logic - are you a Blog Cabin Republican? Yeah, I could double my salary if I wanted a transfer to China. Too bad I don't like cat. So what is it that you do in this world where the chinese would pay you double than you make here? Please don't leave me hanging, I just got to know. How much you making now? I highly doubt that you would dare answer that question or you would tip your hand and show us how your BS'ing yourself and the rest of us. Industrial engineer with a hard-earned master's degree making $68k a year. My US company would pay me double (tax free) to go to china to help start up more plants. And you would sell out for that? THat puts you in the same category as the people who worked for Standard Oil and other US companies who did business with Nazi Germany and gave them technology that ended up coming back to bite us in the ass. You are a ****ing traitor if you sell out and go work in China. Go suck on this BS. Take your head out of your steward's ass and look around and see what is going on in the world. Have a nice trip, hope you don't get jet lag too bad on your flight to china. Go **** yourself and keep believing what your steward tells you that the US is all powerful and that you are worth so much to him and your employer, even though you have no skills. I'll bet you think the government owes you free health care, retirement, and air jordans. NO - but why the **** are we paying 15% of GDP on health care and ****ing so much of it away on this free-market approach when the rest of the industrialized first-world countries have government run health care that is much more efficient, results in better overall health care for their citizens and fewer chronic health problems for half the % of GDP? The free market doesn't solve everything and in fact causes many problems that better government regulation could fix. |

Why don't you answer the question you traitor ****!!!!!!!!!!!! How DO you justify workers wages have risen 20% while CEO's pay has risen 2600% (I gotta check these numbers) ? I do know that CEO's and their minions pay has risen by a far greater percentage than the working American. YOU ARE A TRAITOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ditto! |

Yeah, CEOs are ****ing greedy. What do you want me to do about it? I can't justify it. Can you? How about not sticking your nose up the collective assholes of corporate America and the GOP and refrain from parroting that anti-labor bullshit? Where do you live - Wall Street or Main Street? |

Why not spend some money working up some conservation technology to make
all cars, trucks and other machinery much more fuel efficient? If we implemented the suggestions of the Apollo Alliance, we would be energy self-sufficient, and have technology that we can sell to other countries. Steveo wrote: USENET READER wrote: I say **** em all - keep the jobs and the money over here, control immigration, and license and don't sell out our technology. Agreed. We don't need anything imported except oil, and we can go take that if need be. It is what it is. |

Go tell the Canadians and Brits waiting 6 months queued up to get an MRI
to see if they have a brain tumor that their health care is more efficient and higher quality. *Any* good or service that you give away for free will be rationed and of low quality. This is about as certain as the law of gravity. The reason we spend what we do on health care is because: 1.) As a country we are among the most affluent so we can afford to spend high percentages of income on things like health care. We actually spend a smaller percentage of income on things like housing, food and fuel than other developed countries. 2.) We have a hybrid system that is not a true free market nor is it a rationed nationalized service. Employer provided medical insurance encouraged the consumer to be unconcerned with cost. A reasonable system would be personal medical saving accounts combined with catastrophic health coverage insurance. Our current system violates the basic premise of insurance - i.e. you insure for things that are relatively infrequent but expensive. By contributing to an insurance fund you spread the risk and the cost. You don't use insurance for routine events that are almost certain to happen, i.e. like going to the doctor when you catch a cold. You can buy medical insurance with a $2k annual deductible very cheap. Combine that with a $2k per year personal medical saving account where you get to keep the unused funds after a certain number of years. Now you are using insurance for relatively rare catastrophic events like cancer and you give the consumer an incentive to shop for price on the routine stuff. The industrialized countries with nationalized health care are economically in the crapper. France and Germany have chronic double digit unemployment. Japan has been on a downturn for the last decade. China is growing so fast because they are starting from such a low point. As their wages rise they will become less attracive (remember, Japan was once the country of choice for cheap labor). Yes, some things in this country are broken (education certainly - a goverment monopoly I might point out). We can compete with the world though. We do have a lot of smart motivated people here.

Having been a Canadian for 62 years I personally know of no one who has had to wait six months for any kind of necessary health care. That's not to say that it hasn't happened to some one, some where, but if it did it was certainly the exception and not the norm.
