"lagging productivity" will make jobs sisappear, every time. No company in a competetive environment can suvive if their workers insist on being paid more and more, yet produce less and less.

What all this means is--We should start buying things made in your own country by your neighbors..not third world cheap, scab labor...Then boycott all companys that have moved thier production overseas..to avoid local wage scales..It will be to our advantge to pay a little more, and keep our jobs here..IMPEACH --BUSH-CHENY-PELOSI, AND GONZALAS--NOW...

I have already begun a personal boycott of things made in Canada, and I encourage every citizen of the US to join me.

Further, I look assiduously for comparable products made in USA rather than just buying what's on the shelf. But sometimes it's difficult--even Tommy Hilfiger's trademark red-white-and-blue fashions are made in China.

So much of our manufacturing has been closed down that we cannot not even maintain our military without importing uniforms and equipment from our potential enemies.

See now your going to far off the deep end on the other side.

In what way am I going too far? Is it because the US Army now imports uniforms, tents, cooking equipment, and other supplies from the People's Republic of China? Or is it because I have observed that Canadians are perfectly willing to be parasitic economic and cultural dependents of the US, but are unwilling to accept responsibility for their own decisions?
