Economy losing ground everywhere

[JD Barleycorn]

The GDP for last quarter has been lowered to 1.3%, jobs are still moving overseas, potential employers are not hiring do to tax uncertainty, and this all Obama. Romney had nothing to do with it. The GOP lead Congress has had all of their bills shut out in the Senate. This is the future of the country under the progressive/socialist democratic party.

Sometimes I get in a hurry and I have to be someplace at 2:30 but then again you never make a typo.

Isn't CBJ7 the pretentious SOB!?! CBJ7 regularly uses no capitalization or punctuation, and yet he postures -- POSTURES -- as being superior to someone else in a P$P forum? What an unmitigated asshole!!!

Hahaha, Yeah right. The only thing America has ever manufactured is money. It doesn't take five million workers to do that.

[Yssup Rider]

It's not losing ground in Austin or San Antonio.

Must REALLY suck to be in Kansas Toto.

The economy is horrible everywhere but in the states that are drilling for oil and gas. Even some of those places are sucking big.
QE3 is stealing the value of our money.
I think it will not be long before I am renting beds in my houses instead of the houses themselves.

Let me give you a little inside scoop.

One of my current client companies has an ongoing project to move the bulk of their R&D operations from New Jersey to China. It has nothing to do with Obama, or the economy, or tax rates. This is a macro trend as a result of cheap labor coming on-line across the globe.

They can hire a PhD level scientist with 10 years experience in China for about the equivalent of 25K US. In America they pay for an equivalent person is about 120K. For BS level and sub-BS technicians, the pay differential is about 8K vs 50K.

Of course, this is anecdotal told to me by managers of this client company (not the ones getting fired). So the numbers may be off a little? My point is this ridiculous idea of ignoring long-term macro trends in favor of pot-shotting "the other side."

I am hearing complaints that all the old people are getting hired over young people. Had to explain that if you're going to hire someone for the same money why pick the untried over the known quantity. Their answer was not printable in a family site like this.
