[QUOTE="duece212, post: 5395255, member: 558948"] Sad but I don't see us competitive unless we come closer to production/labor costs in China and Mexico. Especially Mexico as they are closer physically so shipment of their cheap shit doesn't cost as much as from China, etc. Whether its China/Mexico/India/etc raising their wages and in turn cost of goods/service or the US drastically dropping its wages something has to balance out. Add in that there are plenty of underdeveloped countries to begin developing and working for slave labor when China/Mexico/India/etc start demanding greater wages the problem is endless in my eyes. May just be one small detail of the crisis we have, I seem to focus in on the negative for some reason though [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif[/IMG] We could really use some new invention here, something we can lead the way in to keep us afloat again for awhile.
