Sorry, but George W. Bush cornered the market on stupid. Obozo might be arrogant, ready to jump at any opportunity to spend us into oblivion, etc., but Bush was just plain stupid.
Or..........Bush was just "acting" that way, as a ruse to hide the fact that he was the most evil, shrewd, and corrupt man on the planet. Wait a minute, that was Cheney.
Nah, I'll go with stupid.
I can't argue with that. But his speech eccentricities are the least of the problems I have with what Bush did while in office.
...
Big corporations that shut down their ops in America and reopen their ops in India, Bangladesh and Mexico-- with little to no penalty from the government of the country they are getting rich off of-- who's accusing them?

If a business can lower product cost and raise profits by moving operations out of the country, what's wrong with that? Isn't that just good business sense?

If your dollar is the bottom line, with little to no regard for your own countrymen, sure.

How many businesses have you started? Have you laid everything on the line to start a business?
It's really easy (and stupid) to talk down someone else's efforts. And if the bottom line isn't making a profit, just exactly how long do you think a business would stay operating?
good grief
Get rid of the unions, they've out lived their usefullness. They're nothing more then a politicial action arm of the dems. Let businesses run with just the necessary regulations, stop taxing them to death and watch this economy come roaring back.
Most Americans don't know the policies of this Administration!
What are most Americans frustrated with?
Most of our frustration is centered around money.
Healthcare Reform as presented is not such a bad thing-- until you start telling Americans that EVERYONE has to pay for health insurance.
Its a terrible thing. Its made it harder on more of us than it has helped the few.
Why is Immigration Reform so necessary?
Violence and crime = unnecesary money spent on issues that owuldn't be issues if the right policies were enforced, which is not a problem that started 2 or 4 years ago.
Big government, big government! Baloney!
Big corporatons that tke advantage of loop holes so they don't have to pay taxes or so that the salaries of their executives are untouched by Federal taxes! Who's accusing them?

The thing here is, while some big corps are moving out, it is only a handful compared to the whole market. Its governments fault they are moving.
Conservatives blaming the government is akin to some blacks who are always blaming whitey-- no one in either group makes the slightest attempt to look at the whole picture of the situation they are focussed on. Their minds are already made up.

I dont know if this is just babble to stir the pot a little or if you have actual substance to back up your opinion.
Nah, I'll go with babble.

History has proven you true.

I agree with free enterprise. However, is there nothing to the impact of having the major corporations taking production to other countries and selling the products here? I am not an economist by any stretch of the imagination, but I would think that this is the factor that history cannot address since this sort of global economy is a relatively new possibility.
