[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 350568, member: 2189"] Your first sentence after the "keyboard died" is a very important point. NAFTA and some of these trade agreements were sold to the public under an illusion of helping to spread commerce in order to develop these areas so they won't "need to come here!" For whatever reason that has not panned out at least IMO. Mexico has oil resources so why do we not help them develop that industry and buy their oil and tell the mideast to take a hike? I'd rather make the poor mexicans rich in their own homes than to fatten up a bunch of arabs who could care less about us. May not be as easy as it sounds and I'll admit that but I sure wish we'd talk about it in open public. Trick IMO also made an excellent point about the corrupt gov't which presents it's own set of problems. You guys have made a lot of good points but here's 2 that I found interesting sometime back and sorry I don't have either source at hand. Make a note and then confirm later from other sources. The bad news: By 2050' and I think this was a Heritage Foundation study, at current legal and illegal immigration rates along with birthrates, hispanics will become the majority population. It's not a given because of other factors but if current trends stay, it will be the case. Wanna go in half on learning spanish by buying the software from Rosette Stone? :happy-very: Now the Good from the Bad news: A lot is said these day of the falling dollar world wide and the economic impact from this. The good news is the outsourcing of overseas jobs has slowed and even reversed in some areas as out dollar makes our real wages the cheaper bargin on the global labor market. The gov't said they'd do something about America's job loss and by Gawd they sure have! :happy-very::happy-very::happy-very: I heard someone say recently that over the last several years, China has advanced to where it's people went from walking to riding bicycles to now driving cars and motorcycles. Americans however are going from Cars and motorcycles to bicycles and walking and in the case of one college, students are getting to class on horseback. What's wrong with this picture people? :surprised: [/QUOTE]
