Todays True Rants

Call it what it is, a Republican economy.

I remember a prevalent saying I always heard when growing up:
"You get what you pay for"

Now-a-days all I hear is:
"Foreigners do it for so cheap they do it better"

Then my friend says he knows a guy that owns a business that tells him that its cheaper to have parts made in China because 99% of the parts will be thrown away as unusable garbage and that is still cheaper than what it would cost to make in the US. Does that sound like foreigners do it better? I would think the definition of "doing it better" in this instance would mean in China he'd keep 99% of the parts and that its cheaper than if you keep 99% of the parts here in the US. Once again, republicans say what they need to so they can hoard a buck. Sad because you'll never hear the truth from these liars, only what they need to say so that the society will keep allowing itself to suffer so they can hoard a dollar.

The idiotic argument that republican economists try to use to defend sending American jobs offshore is that for every dollar spent on foreigners that company will make a whopping .14 cents!! Wow, with that kind of money I can see how they would be able to create many more higher paying jobs than the ones sent offshore (as they claim is the case). Actually I'm totally kidding. This argument could hold some weight if these companies made $3 for every $1 spent on foreign workers. But they don't. All that happens if you really examine this situation is the companies now have to be dependent on that .14 cents. The quality of the product suffers and they cant make any profit from what it is they sell. They become a slave to the .14 cents. Now if they would gladly spend the $3 lets say, on American labor they will make $5 for their superior product rather than .14 cents by using cheap labor. So the argument is completely invalid.

On a side note, I find it interesting that on a keyboard there is a key for the $ but nothing for cents? Like a c with a line through it? Enjoy today's truth, truth seekers.
