Economy 201

[Brian Luther]

I am just wondering, what your thoughts might be on the America?

Our Government is still trying to solve the financial woes that have made it all the way down to "main street"...... CNN, MSNBC, FOX have their views, biased or not, they are views.

My quandary is this.

Our, Government, and we the people have seen a plethora of companies leave the United States, and go to where its cheaper to provide those goods to the consumer. And some companies are still here in the States, and operate overseas. Now that this has transpired, how can the "Stock Market" recover when what made the market go, was American owned and run, businesses?

Thoughts?

America needs new industry and to rebuild it's manufacturing base. Simple as that.

What made America strong back in the day was the fact that they were the only ones rich enough to develop new industry. Smaller nations simply lacked the capital to make it happen. Now that the rest of the world has all but caught up, and those old industries are more affordable....the US needs to get back on the cutting edge with the next big thing.....renewables. Even in our weakened state, we're still the richest nation by far and the only ones that can make a really big go of it (well, the EU can too now i suppose).
