That doesn't forgive the Dems...

Post #125,565 by bepatient 11/13/03 7:15:51 PM Reply	That doesn't forgive the Dems... ...for their procedures. They are definitely not in the right on their methodology of selection. Instead of looking at credentials, they are attempting to determine the way Judges will rule. They are not judging on credibility. It is worsening the situation that the Republican control in the senate started during the Clinton administration, instead of trying to mend it. Another fine example of everybody inside the beltway being guilty of what you only see on one side...but regardless. At least the guy in IL gets it.

Its what has caused the trade deficit...whcih you have a portion of noted (loss of jobs). How can we convince New York and American workers that to compete we have to invest in durable capital and productivity tools. America needs to rebuild its manufacturing base. The principle areas of growth the trade deficit?? Cars, auto parts and engines, capital goods, food products and industrial supplies and materials. All of these things we >used< to be able to make better than anyone else on the planet.

One interesting factoid - should GM succeed with the radical reinvention of the automobile, there will be a huge drop in auto manufacturing jobs as the vehicle itself is less complex with dramatically smaller part counts. I do agree that one of the best things we could do is begin reinvesting our dollars at home in manufacturing and R&D. The last couple generations of mis-managers have been raping the future in their quest for quarterly "improvements". We are eating our seed corn.

One Murican worker today equals at least 1.5 Murican workers of only 10 years ago. The problem is that all of the gains in productivity have been funneled up to the 1 per cent. Most workers have not, all propaganda aside, benefited from the almost unbelievable productivity gains of the past two decades. bcnu, Mikem Java, Junk. Both start with a "J", both have four letters.

Of course, he is a clinician, which in my book puts him beneath contempt. bcnu, Mikem Java, Junk. Both start with a "J", both have four letters. Coincidence? I think not.

Not much design, but common in cheap systems. Doesn't look like it's going to change anytime soon.
