PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN AND I WISH THAT THEY WERE TOO!

I just read an article that states China is reining in it's manufacturing growth. It seems it's being too successful. Meanwhile America still has over 9% official unemployment and is more likely something like 15% actual unemployment. The article goes on to say China "rebounded quickly from the 2008 global crisis". Well so did America, so there. China did it on a "flood of stimulus spending and bank lending". Well, America had some stimulus spending too, but of course much of it was for pork. America didn't have any bank lending to amount to anything. China's growth is expected to be over nine percent this year. America's growth for 2011 will be, ahhh, well,  the thing is there won't be any growth unless you consider political theatrics, growth. When it comes to political theatrics, America is on target to top all charts. When it comes to manufacturing, American manufacturers are far better off financially then at any time in recent memory. Manufacturers and bankers and Wall Street are all doing extremely well in America, thank you very much. It's Americans that aren't doing so well. In China, on the other hand, there is much less unemployment. Of course in China you can't go by what the government tells you. You have to get your information from other sources. In America, you can get your information from the government. But you can't get it from politicians or the media. The thing with American Media is that it's become politicized. You have the Conservative Republican media and the liberal Democrat media. But what's really important here is that in China, stimulus and bank lending lifted it out of Recession for it's manufacturing base and it's labor force. So how come it didn't work for American labor in this country? My guess is that the political climate and Wall Street and Banker's and Manufacturer's greed had a lot to do with it. In fact I think you could say it had everything to do with it. I only wish that some of these folks would show a little patriotism. I'm talking about the real thing. Not just the good times patriotism. Not just, their way only, patriotism. Ya know, years ago, Bankers and Manufacturers cared about their employees and their customers. It seems that now-a-days employees and customers are only useful to be exploited or be cast off if a more profitable venue presents itself. It must be great to be a profit. I wonder if I could be adopted by a prophet? It might be nice to tell people off.
