Very True, The fact that more chips are now made in China and Taiwan remains a fact. The V.C.R that was made by Ampeg and sold to Sony/ JVC and then produced in foreign countries is a prime example, Same with T.V.'s cell phones, and even "OUR" automobiles. All have either moved North (Canada) and South {Mexico}. I live in a right to work state,(Arizona) This economy has been based on "Services" and housing. Guess what? Both have recently gone into the toilet. Why? 18K new real estate agents in Maricopa county alone in the past 2 years.A total of 56K state wide. Massage therapists in Scottsdale are now out numbering the amount of rooms in luxury hotels. Chefs stand in line to find work and compete with the illegal alien, or the green card chefs for work. These people all buy homes, cars and gas.There is a glut of rental properties in the Valley of the Sun. Simatec the local chip manufacturer is laying off, along with Honeywell, Motorola, American Express, Discover. The Service industry is kaput.... So where do these workers go from here.???? Thanks for letting me rant! I feel better all ready. JMHO
