Interesting how the biggest in the world makes nothing, no tangible product.
Simply information... who'd a thunk it 30 years ago?
Isn't the Federal Gov't the biggest employer in the USA?
I found out many years ago that the largest employer in the
city of Philadelphia is... the city of Philadelphia !
To me, there is something intrinsically wrong with a country whose
biggest business is an info lookup group. This country
is slipping towards Third World Status as we already fulfill
many of the requirements, including a massive debt,
a woeful manufacturing segment, educational rankings well down the world ladder,
nowhere near the top in health wellness, and
an almost completely undereducated population including minority
populations with 1/2 or more of their children dropping out of high school.
How can the government, or anyone for that matter, generate good jobs
when those same companies have sent all the "good" jobs overseas
even a large segment of our young people lack the skills and education
to perform even the most menial of work related tasks.
China pretty much owns us. We are reaching the upper limits of
how much debt we can carry, almost half the tax dollars collected
go to pay the interest on debt accumulated by many of our past Presidents.
Maybe we should give Foreign Aid to - ourselves!
