I was watching the business channel the other night with Maria Bartiromo and they were having a discussion with many business people at some business college and people were finally starting to acknowledge that we need to start manufacturing things in this country!!! These are supposed to be educated people and they're just now getting around to this conclusion? The best thing that President Obama can do right now to give this economy a boot in the ass is to get us O-U-T of NAFTA!

BOOM TIMES! If you work for the government at least. Average pay $30,000 over private sector. The number of federal workers earning six-figure salaries has exploded during the recession, according to a USA TODAY analysis of federal salary data. Federal employees making salaries of $100,000 or more jumped from 14% to 19% of civil servants during the recession's first 18 months and that's before overtime pay and bonuses are counted. Federal workers are enjoying an extraordinary boom time - in pay and hiring - during a recession that has cost 7.3 million jobs in the private sector. Blame? Both parties, Congress & and Executive Branches. I think the list of all the Obama accomplishments missed the fact that his authorized pay raise 2%, was the lowest since 1975. YEAH! Congrats to the President for holding back. More troubling, were it a business, the Federal Government would be in worse shape than Goldman Sachs; yet I don't hear one peep about paying out Federal Government employee bonuses. The money being spent here, as with the bailed-out failures, also comes from tax money. The cornerstone of keeping the incumbents in office is exhibited for display.
