Gentlemen, we are moving towards a global ecomony. I don't like it, best bet is find your place in it. It's going to be easier for the younger guys who are more flexible, older guys who have been doing things they way that they've been doing them for 30 years will find it difficult but none of us are going to like it.
I don't see things getting back like they were. I blame the Bush's, NAFTA (yes, Clinton originally signed it, Bush signed on China) but the European union is also creaping up on us in the US.
Idle hands are the devils workshop. If we sit back thinking a new presidential administation in the US will bring the US back to where it was, we will be wasting time. We have to look forward and find our place in this new ecomomy.
Global trade will continue to force competition with countries who can pay lower wages. Shop at Wal-Mart and you'll end up working at Wal-mart. |
