Germany is Fine; What About Us?

"BERLIN (AP) — German business confidence unexpectedly rose to its highest level in over three years in September as a stronger economy supported business"

Unemployment is down and the economy as well as exports is growing. Why? Manufacturing. The US has let it's manufacturing base dwindle and we are struggling because of it. In fact, it is the exact reason the administration's stimulus did not work. There was no manufacturing base to stimulate to create goods for Americans. Instead we sent the stimulus money to China for imports.

We must save every jobs we can!

Economic Recovery Ideas by Obama

President Obama is to issue newly planned recovery measures today. One is extension of the R&D tax credit, one is the proposal of infrastructure investment, and the last is related to tax credits for investment. All these may be a good part of an overall plan but none of them resonate with Voters that jobs are on the way.

It seems easy to us that by saving Pontiac and using the assets that the taxpayers already own, we would see American jobs right away and the Administration could show real job creation instead of some sort of credit that may or may not create jobs.

Just my thoughts. Have a wonderful day!

Aliens in Our Midst

Headlines in the New York Times proclaimed today:

Growth in Jobs Beats Estimates, Easing Concerns

I do not know what Country the Author lives in but it cannot be the United States. Middle Americans must fight with the Mainstream media over concerns about unemployment...this is outrageous.

I read a Woody Allen quote this morning that says it all: "That's one thing about intellectuals: They've proved that you can be absolutely brilliant and have no idea what's going on."

We need to take every; every jobs opportunity available and more specifically on manufacturing. Why can the media, like the NYT, understand that we need jobs not absurd headlines.

Have a wonderful weekend!
