From the News Journal:

Prices will probably remain low when the economy improves, she said. China has opened large factories that can produce larger quantities using more modern equipment, she said. U.S. factories can’t compete, especially since demand here is still far below what it is in Europe, she said.Despite this country’s new emphasis on all things green, most of the solar jobs in the United States are in installation, not manufacturing, she said.

Easy monetary policy in the United States
Quick rebound of the China economy
China has record capital inflows
Yuan  rises in value against the dollar
Access to cheap financing and  US government guarantees to firms like Goldman Sachs
Borrowing in dollars and investing (private equity) in the Yuan looks is a sure bet.

Who is to blame?

AP’s Lara Jakes and Pam Hess: ‘The Army psychiatrist suspected of carrying [out] a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, had come to the attention of authorities six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats, law enforcement officials said Thursday. The postings appeared to have been made by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan … The officials say they are still trying to confirm that he was the author. … One of the Web postings that authorities reviewed is a blog that equates suicide bombers with a soldier throwing himself on a
grenade to save the lives of his comrades.’

A lot of people say it was Medicare or Medicaid.

It was Ted Kennedy who proposed and started

Jobs is Job #1

Not your job or my job but the job of each Senator

and Congressman is not the focus of guess who?

The individual Senators and Congressman.

 

They now realize the total frustration of the voter

and the out of whack agenda which is rolling

through Congress is bad for the country.

 

I still think you could take a random sample of

535 people from the phone book and they would

do  better job.

German Prime Minister Angela Merkel invited Obama to the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. What a great idea.

The President who went to appeal for the Olympics and will get a ridiculous Nobel Prize was too busy to attend the event in Germany.
