We consume more than we produce incurring big trade deficits year after year. Our businesses are not cost competitive as other nations have cheaper labor and business costs aided by things such as weaker environmental and work safety rules. One conclusion is eventually there needs to be an adjustment in our overall standard of living. A downward adjustment to re-balance the economic and business realities of global trade.. What's included in that calculation? Intellectual services (e.g., Web services, engineering, etc.)? I don't think it is. Assuming it's not, the deficit number isn't as bad as one thinks, and the idea of upending the economy so we can make disposable razors and ball point pens here again is just friggin stupid. 1 hour ago, Wacka said: I'll repeat, my 503b is up 13% YTD.
