Precisely!! We need to give Britans jobs back to the British people, no more of this call centre crap in India where you can't even understand what they are saying.
We are collapsing throught the greed of businesses who want to make more profits by using cheap labour. They have a lot of balls.
Sounds familiar. Do they try and chat with you about the weather to pretend they're not calling from another country? lol
I was expecting they and most of the countries would be experiencing this... countries where a lot of socialist policies will be slammed when they find all the things they keep funding is getting a lot more expensive and less return... the only safe country is one that has protected itself from globalization and maintained a more free market society...

Sorry, but free market means companies and people are free to do what they want, free to join globalization, free to outsource, etc.
I think protectionism is the word you are looking for.
Hey Sandy -- thanks for quoting this part of the article -- actually got me to read it.

When public servants decide how to allocate capital you can expect it to be destroyed. Only the private sector can provide “more for less” money, now you can expect to get considerably “less for more” money. Can you say FLEECED!
H O W E V E R -- it is clearly a clueless rant by a total BSer. The G is already highly involved in pre-selecting the current "winners" e.g. Coal, and even New Nukes being considered for build are to be 80% Government Welfare Construction supported -- the only reason the Engineering/Contracting Companies want to build them -- for the Welfare $.
The part about TRIPLE looks like total BS, as well. Electricity is currently at surplus, and I am amazed it can even hold its price -- and I am in the industry.

i do remember barack saying that electricity prices would go up, but that it would be a "small price to pay" for his green policies. now i am starting to understand this whole situation. i can only assume that president bush was in on this as well.
There is serious deflation going down on every front. Like I say, I do not see how electricity is holding its price, as is.
My current safety factors on new designs are using a FALL by 1/2 in the end price. Real deal is Bush was a total dumbass, and hopefully Obama is only half a dumbass.
The only free trade is trade between countries at equal stage of development. Free trade as we know it today is merely a redistribution of wealth from developed world to developing world. It serves to lower the standard of living in the developed country. We have ample evidence of this yet still we listen to these globalization experts. It's utter nonsense. The standard of living of the middle class in America and England has been declining for 30 years. Real wages have stagnated. Moving a $30 dollar an hour job to China or India for $2 dollars per hour doesn't create wealth, it destroys wealth for all but the chosen few at the top.

Seems as though I remember Ross Perot describing "a giant sucking sound" and they called him a crack pot.
Much of that sucking sound is the oil and natural gas we refuse to drill ofr and of course the elkctric bill since we rely on coal and natural gas. In the end it is also the sound of people not will to buy US products like US car when they are unreliable and have little resale since they depreciate so fast.
