And U wonder why US companies are going over the Board to set up factories...

I've known this for at least 20 years now: After WW2 the US had the ONLY industrial plant in the world that was intact and we could charge what we wanted, and the American worker made BANK....Over the decades not only was the industrial plant rebuilt in the industrial nations that were destroyed but the US has faced increasing competion from nations that have developed themselves. This has all put pressure on the American standard of living.

THE AMERICAN STANDARD OF LIVING IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO DECLINE....it will eventually will reach some kind of parity with the rest of the world. Another disturbing fact is that America is not turning out the Engineers and Scientists that it once did...Americans got lazy after WW2, we had it made, We're Americans and DESERVE the GOOD LIFE...gone is the same work and sacrafice ethic that got America to the top. And why do I say that...just take a look at the credit card debt in America....
