Two ways to get out of that downward spiral. Either wait to hit rock bottom, or get the state indebted and inject a lot of money into the system in order to get the wheels turning again.

Provinces started emitting their own money (iou's) and paying state providers and workers with that. State providers and workers took them with a smile because it was that or nothing, then they go to groceries who take them at 80% and finally all goes down to sharks who take them at about 50% and wait till the province has money again to collect 100% of the debt. We have lived through it and worse here not so long ago, I can still remember those times. > and all this because people do not want to come to grip with the fact > that sending our jobs offshore and offering h1'bs over here a way not to > pay taxes is destroying the funds necessary to keep our country running, > What you say is not reasonable. If things get so hairy then no one with an education (h1 b) will want to work in USA and you'll have all those jobs for yourselves. Think of it, if it is hard for you who are born there, how hard it will be for someone whose language is not english and has no family nor friends in USA? Why would they want to go there? Besides which, if things get to that point the dollar will certainly go down and then you'll have an advantage over other countries workers, your workforce will be cheaper and you'll be competitive in the world markets. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
