Duh!

Good Grief Mr. Greenspan,

I just sat and watched you on the George Stephanapoulos Show and you were talking about the loss of jobs. Okay, it’s pretty much right there in front of our noses; much of the problem could be remedied much in part by bringing back the American manufacturing jobs to America!

Since when did our country think we had enough wealth to share with the entire world? Do Americans who are not computer whizzes, teachers, coaches, entrepreneurs, accountants, bankers, actors, writers, builders, insurance administrators, doctors, nurses, have the opportunity for jobs? A big No! The jobs for the middle class Americans are nearly extinct like the dinasaurs. Do you want a job? Go to China, Japan, Mexico, India, and the other countries where America manufactures products and brings them back for our citizens to purchase at huge prices! American companies are full of GREED! Those companies didn't move elsewhere to help others, those companies manufacturing sites were moved for use of slave labor; same old concept of the South when slavery was alive. We moved the companies for cheap labor, not because we wanted to share the wealth.

Americans are depressed! Americans are overworked on the few jobs that are available. How many of the American companies have gone to another country? How many? Are there any statistics on that? Other countries send their children here for their great college educations: “Get your free education in America and take it back to your home countries!” Look around you folks and wake up, it’s not the debt we’re talking about leaving our grandchildren; it’s the loss of jobs; however loss of jobs means debt. Look where everything is made that you buy - - other countries! Find out - - protest, write your letters to Washington, D.C. It is as plain as the noses on our faces; we are sending all production jobs that built America after World War II to other countries. This has been going on for a long, long time.

When I was a young woman I remember Krushev saying, “I’ll bury you from within”. You didn’t have to Mr. Krushev, we did it ourselves by sending all manufacturing of any significance to other countries that turn around and sell these products Americans used to build, sew and produce to care for our own. Trouble is: there is no middle class to buy these products. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist Mr. Greenspan to figure out we need to bring Middle Class, blue collar work jobs back to the U.S.A. And we need to save our farmlands and put our farm families back to work so we can feed our country healthier.

(Side note: I wrote this back some months ago after watching Mr. Greenspan on television)
