South Korea and China are setting up shop in the United States’ backyard, as Latin America is searching for countries eager for its resources among Asian economies hungry for raw materials.
Its amazing, we sit around and wonder why these countries from South America, Central America, Africa and so forth do not like the U.S. nor want us in their countries. I believe that to many of us within the U.S. forget that when we visit another country that we are guests, to may U.S. citizens believe that what our government does in our name in other countries MUST be right. And to many of us just do not care to make the effort to see what our government has been doing and is doing in our names in other countries. Look around you folks, the jobs have been shipped overseas to places that have no labor laws, no minimum wages, no benefits to talk of and do you believe that these companies are going to bring them back? If so you have a long time to wait. Perhaps more of our citizens should take a look at what the politicians are doing who they are getting money from and what they are REALLY voting for or against. Most of that information is in the public records, all one must do is go look for it. If you believe that Ronald Reagan and the Republican party were good for the nation and for business just look around you now. If you believe that getting rid of the regulatory agencies in the federal government was the right thing to do you have not been reading the papers. If you believe that the laws which gave incentives to businesses to expand into these third world countries was the right thing to do then you should stop asking yourself where that great paying job went that you used to have! Wake up and smell the dirt, its there for you to see if you are not so apathetic that you believe that this is only a little bump in the road our economy is going through. Do SOMETHING, get informed, get involved, send $20.00 to the congressman and senator who is supporting your ideals. It's your government, take it back from the rich cats and the businesses. WRITE AND DEMAND THAT THEY DO WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS RIGHT!










I think is the best way to go, and shift our products to Asia, I' can see this already happening in our continent and in my country our exports are doing very well with Asia. From Guatemala.
