Where Do We Get Our Spending Money? It is a sad state of affairs for an out going administration to have left this country in and passing these conditions onto the next administration to get us out of this "deep hole." It's going to take money, from somewhere for the Government to pay workers. Now that we are already "saddled" with a total Government deficit of $11 billion dollars, which is worse, increasing deficit by another $1 trillion dollars if it prevents having a full blown depression or should we just let the depression happen? How do we plan to pay off this $11 trillion dollar debt with an economy which is shrinking? Will the wages and benefits of the workers continue to decrease to a "relatively" lower value which are more closely to the lower wage countries. When I say " relatively," how many of us believe that our real wages can continue to increase under the conditions we have now? We are at the point in this financial cycle of history where we have been led in a direction which many of us have been spending money that we have earned and money that we haven't earned, and giving that money to other countries to pay for imported goods, produced by lower paid workers than our workers would be paid if the goods were manufactrued here in the US. To make the point, these conditions are made possible by Global corporations and I think the entire country is realizing the effects of this imbalance of an accumulation of record trade deficits. When there is an extreme imbalance taking place in one direction, usually there is an opposite reaction to correct that extreme action. When we mention the putting of "tariffs" on imported goods, in this case, it amounts to a reaction after the damage has already been done. It should have been done at the start of all these unfair trade policies. What are the puposes of the "traiffs" and who pays the additional money that the goods cost? Right now it seems that the people are already decreasing the amount of imports they are buying, because of their financial conditions, which might have been caused by their buying of imports. If we look at another point; The imported goods that we have been buying, have been "made" by workers in these low wage countries, but it is the global corporations who are also on the recieving end of the profits. How would we put a "traiff" on these imported goods since it's not the countries who really own the goods? This makes it more necessary for us to get off of "foreign oil." Sincerely cbra958687@aol.com
