I honestly believe this country is coming near the end of it's existance as we know it.
Maybe 20/30 more years and I think we'll have a new owner. Well, basically China owns us already.
With the way republicans LOVE the communist chinese and their sweet, sweet, cheap labor, they are single handedly making the communist nation the world's next superpower. This isn't something to take lightly.
It's not Republicans..it's the multi-national capitalists.
Those CEO's don't play those partisan games.
They have lobbyists to influence government no matter which side is in power.

The dems have tried recently to pass many bills fining and blocking jobs from being sent overseas to the communist nation, but "NO" has blocked every single one.

That bill would not stop what is happening.
Even with the fines labor costs in third world countries is still cheaper than US labor costs.
Fines and blocking is NOT the way to turn around the economy.
Big bully tactics will NOT fix the US job situation.
This is now a global economy with a global workforce.
We ARE in competition with other countries for labor whether we like it or not.
Obama so far has been sub-par and his moderate republican views are just dragging the country down even more. Obama isn't going anywhere in 2012 from the lack of any real competition from the right, even the right themselves have admitted this. Though i wish we did get a more solid democrat to kick ass and take names, a real leader like a grayson, weiner, or dean. In the mean time all we can do is hope the republicans get as few seats as possible and Obama finally grows a pair.
Otherwise the chinese are praying the republicans pick up as many seats as possible, "NO" has blocked every single bill that would limit outsourcing and fines to big corporations that send jobs over to the communist nation. The thing that we should be most fearful is how the greedy are giving such massive power to the communist nations that don't give a damn about us. They are growing at a feverish pace and with money, comes power. Soon I don't think the middle eastern extremists will hold a candle to the threat communist asian counties like china, viet nam and N. korea will with the way we are single handedly fueling their fires.
Mega rep points!!!! Wow ... you hit 'er on the head.

Even the ever liberal Bill Gates explained that with the proposed fines it would still be cheaper for Microsoft to continue manufacturing overseas than to return it to the USA. One would think that Progressives would listen to one of their own far leftists on that one.
He will either put on his yes maam pants or his previously stained yellow in the front pants
