What is wrong with the economic model of our Nation?

Over the last year, I have found it EASIER to find goods manufactured in the USA, and that's consistent with economic trends over the last year.

US manufacturing is increasing, and the number of US manufacturing jobs is increasing.

But that doesn't mean the problem doesn't need attention. It's starting to get some:

WASHINGTON, Aug 06, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke issued a call to action Thursday to revitalize the nation's manufacturing sector.

"A vibrant manufacturing sector isn't just critical for the millions of Americans whose jobs depend on it," Locke said as he appointed new members to the 2010 Manufacturing Council. "Manufacturing is absolutely central to driving the innovation that fuels the American economy."

shop thinking with regard to the oil and gasoline marketplace nd whilst it replace into destroyed and how the smaller ones and independents have been taken over, now each and every physique hollers with regard to the manipulated gasoline expenses. The banking marketplace and such at the instant are being given funds and paying for out others, so I wold think of that there will be the same ingredient occurring. Yo anticipate corruption on the decrease point or perhaps state point, yet interior the previous days there have been human beings gazing those in Washington to make useful they performed impressive, yet not extra. basically like the super verify floating deal for hundreds of thousands the place they wrote undesirable assessments. Now they do what they choose to do and no on is to blame. What next. humorous tha Paul and a few warned them, yet no person did something as that could have stopped the flow to consolidating each and every thing. that's coming. You do anticipate on the backside of the chain, yet no longer on the impressive and that's what is going on, who will type a posse and stepup to the plate? Have an incredible 2009. i'm afraid the way the information pronounced PE Obama desiring the different $350 billion bailout funds so speedy and "have been given to have it", that the same each and every physique is on top of issues. wish i'm incorrect. confident, confident and confident, why no longer in basic terms positioned the money interior the IRS and be achieved with it.

Millions of Peaches, how can you possibly say we are under the Chicago Method right now? We use countercyclical monetary and fiscal policy - Keynesianism, and have been since the Great Depression.

Right now, our problems are very overstated. We just went through a sharp downturn, and the economy will turn around eventually. However, our economic model is nothing close to perfect. Taxes are too high, there is too much unnecessary regulation, and there is too much government intervention, especially into the credit markets. Our biggest problem is our system of credit; the Federal Reserve system. The Fed, in my opinion and in the opinion of many economists, caused the housing bubble which eventually led to the crash and recession.

We're under the Chicago Method at the moment, look what happened to Chile after the 9-11 coup to get all your answers, corporations too0k control, everything was privatized, there was a severe economic collapse, massive bail outs, and then a threat of revolution that forced Pinochet back to the Keynes economic method.

the main problem is that the federal government is too big ... there's only so much money and when they spend it all that leaves little for the rest of us only by reducing the size of the nanny state bureaucratic lunacy can we even hope to start pulling out of this current situation

We've allowed ourselves to become over-taxed, over-regulated and over run by bureaucrats. The government gets bigger while we, the people, get smaller.

With Obama in charge soon we will all become cave dwellers sitting around waiting for the dinosaurs to come back so get it right this November and move to impeach Obama 2011//

Too much remuneration gets pumped to the top. Only when the top can not hold any more money does it flow over the brim and reaches the average worker. In other words, very little trickles down.
