November 21, 2006 12:45 PMWe need safe communities released felons to live and work
November 21, 2006 3:43 PMConsolidation in the steel industry: friend or foe.
November 21, 2006 4:03 PMThe outsourcing of jobs overseas so the rich can get richer doesn't seem to help the USA. I wonder when the first revolt of an outsourced company makes these greedy people lose everything.
November 21, 2006 4:31 PMThe biggest problem the US faces is the illegal immigrants that are coming into our contry. They are bleeding our welfare programs, committing crimes, overloading our schools and those are the nicer things.
Send them back. No exceptions. Close the borders.
November 21, 2006 5:29 PMThe biggest issue I see for the US is the national debt. We fund almost every country in the world and leave very little for ourselves to use. We need to stop giving money away and start using it to help those "Legal Americans" that really need it. And I don't mean those on welfare, I mean those that earned the right to it; i.e. - older folks that need social security to live and get the proper health care they deserve. We need to make corporate America pay for taking our jobs overseas, and also giving jobs to illegal aliens, and putting thousands of honest Americans on the street each year.
November 21, 2006 5:51 PMInitially it's the outsourcing of American jobs, but most harmful is when the top three foreign automakers don't buy locally. It is the "rich getting richer" theory, but it is also the average American investing in foreign vehicles for fuel savings. As Americans, we should buy domestic to not just employ American automobile makers but to employ the vast network of businesses who employ our fellow Americans.
The American economic foodchain is being destroyed. It is the lack of jobs and resources that creates poverty.
November 21, 2006 6:32 PMHello dear,
From my point of view, R&D will take the first priority because if R&D will not discover anything, then how will the designer design and be able to make a decision for the right way.

November 21, 2006 10:21 PMWhy is it that when they discuss "legacy cost," they don't bring up the goverment? We discuss how it is imparing the corporate sector but not the amount that our children will have to absorb in taxes to cover the legacy cost of the most benefit-ladened working force in the world.
November 22, 2006 7:12 AMWe have given and continue to give away our technology. We are fast becoming an average nation instead off being a superior nation as we once were. Sending much of our technology off shore is going to come back to haunt us, we have lost our competative edge in the world.
We have a government in place that thinks we should take care of the world but not the people that put them in office and sign their paychecks.
Social Security is going broke, there soon will not be enough money to fund this program, yet we continue to find money for everyone else in this world. I don't have a problem with helping others, but take care of the good American people that pay their taxes first. I'll bet if the politicans took a poll of average Americans they would agree with me 100%.
We have to stop giving away our jobs. Every job that is lost means that person is not paying taxes in but is probably on welfare or collecting unemployment, which is taking money out of the treasury. Think about it.
November 22, 2006 3:04 PMWe need to stop the war-mongering attitude and stop meddling in other countries' business.
Slash the defense budget and invest in alternative energy, education, and health care.

November 26, 2006 1:31 PMI am a little confused by comments here. Are these excerpts or is this all there is? Illegal immigration is not the issue. It is the employment of illegals to make profits that is the problem. If the illegal jobs dry up, so will illegal immigration. Prosecution of the criminals that hire illegally would be extremely cost effective as a solution. If you are not competent to generate profits within the law and with livable wages, you shouldn't be in business anyway, as you are a criminal.
