However, people want products for cheap -- that's the problem.
Products will be more expensive if we buy "Made in California" or "Made in USA" but if it also means creating jobs and growing business ... that extra money in product is an investment in our future ... a future we control .. as opposed to an increase in taxes where government yahoo's just spend more on political ideology.

That would be the Don9 theme song ... how could one expect a serious discussion from a guy who does nothing but rant and spew Tea-Party talking points while predicting doom is at hand as if the world has never faced crisis before and found ways to proceed? As I have been saying, I'd put more faith by far in the Mbuti ways than Tea-Party solutions ... silly me.

No I think it's the polyphonic pygmy music you to which you referred earlier. LOL

Catchy tunes, huh! No hip-hop ... no "Sky is Falling" lyrics ... just jungle get-down-to-business like we have for thousands of years foot-stomping ... California take a lesson!

Sorry, I just can't stop shaking my head at the gloom and doom ...
California: finest 163,696 sq mi on the planet, with the world's 8th largest economy, including probably the strongest agricultural foundation and resources anywhere, with likely the world's largest brain-trust to boot -- and it's about to collapse in flames unless Don9 brings the Tea-Party to the rescue!

Yeah, and the Theme from Benny Hill would probably be the perfect song for the Tea Party...

I hear a new National Anthem here ... California State song, at the very least ... something all you worker-bees can labor to whilst cleaning up the garbage not being picked up after you cut the sanitation workers from the budget ...

Seeing people from different political backgrounds discussing real issues without throwing mud at each other must really flame your troll tendencies and you can't allow this to occur without your constant troll attempts to derail the conversation with distractions and insults.

Go away troll ... back to your troll hole. You offer nothing.

Aug. 10 (Bloomberg) -- California faces “drastic” cuts to universities, schools and social programs if revenue continues to trail budget forecasts, the state controller said after July collections fell short by about 10 percent.

OK, then what do you have to offer besides "gloom-n-doom" and "the sky is falling"? Complaining and "just say no" is cheap (as the GOP knows only too well).... but providing "solutions" is much harder.

And BTW, in case we missed it, you're always free to reference your earlier posts just by number, instead of the typical dismissive (and trollish), "this has already been covered before".
