Is this just your opinion or have you read about it elsewhere. I have tejek also saying that he is seeing an uptick in construction in the Seattle area. Message 27563785 If we do not have a pickup in construction activity, then this nation is in a serious decline. Take Apple. They do the design here but all their manufacturing is in China. All software manufacturing is done in India. What else is left in the US besides making guns and bombs. We are losing our edge to Europe in aircraft building. I am wondering if we are on a downward path as a nation. Surely taxation is not the cause for things not picking up. We have had a decade of lower taxes. And during this decade we have lost jobs significantly.
