    So, not so "united" states of America? Maybe a second civil war, or hopefully a civil dissolution could work. California re-combined with Mexico could be it's own socialist country. The Midwest and South could be the new America that refuses to play with China , Washington D.C. politics, and the rest of the world anymore with it's new capitol of St. Louis.

    The minimum wage is slowly rising in China. In maybe 5 to 10 years, it'll be high enough that the "American" multinational corporations will find it doesn't add to their profit line anymore to hire chinese. By that time the U.S. will be in it's next "great recession" , but probably still not recovered from the current one..

    Hilarious to see a number of CEO's interviewed on CNBC yesterday and continued to be asked "when are corporations hiring Americans again?" and they kept dodging and changing the subject while promoting their company stock and great current and future earnings.

  2. And how do you think the bankrupt state govt comes up with this money to fund the project genius?

    Here's a simple example a 5 yearold will understand, if the market value of an apple is $1. It makes sense to pay $10/hr and hire workers to pick them and in turn boost the economy. But if it cost $100/hr to hire a worker to pick apples, do you still think it make sense to do it just to boost the economy? That's no different than a bailout to try boost the economy, did those billions of tax credit bailout do anything to stimulate the economy in 09, 10?

  3. because your country is full of monkeys.

    To say that it saves money is just an excuse, the fact is you Americans are too stupid to build it. Everywhere I go in the US, I see monkeys. I keep wondering to myself: how can a country that is populated by so many monkeys survive?

    Not for long.

    Money did not reach the ordinary people.

    It did not !

    Ordinary people in Greece won't see any money from EU bailout, it all goes into paying back interests on loans.

    People have never seen any money in their pockets ever from bailout.

    That's the problem, people on the top live in make believe world of theory and books. Reality is different.
