China admits to more unrest this year. Increasingly, the people are unwilling to work for a pittance and put up with corruption. The days of super cheap goods from China are finite. Should the cost of production in China become too high, we will see production facilities move to places like India. I, for one, would much rather see us invest in India than China. They are the world's largest democracy and the largest English speaking country in the world. We do them, and us a disservice by giving money to corrupt, oppressive governments like China. It seems hypocritical to embargo Cuba but invest like crazy in China.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
