As Goes General Motors ...

nightbat Toyota became the biggest car manufacture in the world because
it made better cars than GM or Ford. My son Ken,and Daughter Lore-Sue
just bought Camrys for $22,000 I don't think that is very cheap,and yet
they are as happy as can be,and chances are will trade them in for new
ones every 6 years. Before WW2 Japan made crappy stuff,but after
the war they went for quality at a lower price. No TV built in USA as
phones,radios,DVD,and now no cars in the near future. First of our
products to be made else where were shoes,and cloths. First Mexican
labor were woman working in the LA area sewing mens shirts for about a
buck an hour. Their husbands were picking strawberries for a buck an
hour Total day wage was $16. I know I was there. TreBert

We are becoming a service-based economy, which essentially means that
we will all be working at McDonalds!

When I was a kid, it was we who picked the strawberries. But they have
outlawed a kid's right to earn a few bucks of his own by and honest
day's work in the field. So now they have to bring in the Mexicans.

You have heard that Congress is considering making being an
undocumented alien a felony. Actually this is a good thing. The more
felonies the better. We have to really build up our prison labor force
if we are to ever compete against the Chinese prison labor force that
is presently making the items that stock the shelves at Wal-Mart!

Double-A

Double-A If we all end up working for McDonalds we will be paid in
burgers,and not bucks. that is not all that bad. Like to see metal
money done away with(except gold and silver) Plastic money is best,for
it keeps your books for you. Paper money should only be ones,and fives.
Credit cards should give way to debit cards. Checks are a waste of
time. Microsoft knows how to do it right and being a MSN user I know
that is reality. TreBert

TreBert, all this new fangled plastic/computer book entry money is just
a flash in the pan, and the whole house of plastic cards will be
collapsing soon! Nobody knows where the real value is anymore; it's
just a bunch of entries on computer disks.

Now take the old silver dollars, now there's real money! They've lost
none of there value over the years: no inflation. At a value of about
$12 a piece at today's silver price, they will buy you about as much
bread or hamburger today as they would years ago. Paper/plastic/book
entry money is all just a big pyramid scheme and we have all been
suckered into it!

Someday all that plastic in your wallet will be worth no more than that
pile of 20,000 Mark notes from 1920's Germany that I have stashed
somewhere gathering dust!

Even Confederate money from the Civil War is worth many times what it was
issued at, to collectors.

Hmmm.

Maybe there is still hope that my old German money will make a come
back yet!

Double-A Now that I'm part of a 9 trillion dollar debt I'll die with a
smile. At Stone mountain in Atlanta Ga. I bought $5 of real confederate
bucks. In Mexico I got 122 paso for a buck,but at the bar they only
wanted American money. when we do away with paper money 7
11stores will be safe. Wells Fargo trucks are a waste of gas.You can buy
anything any where in the world with plastic money. Trebert

DA: If you end up at McDonald's remember one thing: Don't eat the
food!

Very good advice, Saul.

I've seen what it did to the bodies of those who got their lunch there
everyday!

Exactly! It's REALLY ugly!
