Until we start making our own products we will never fix our problem.

I just wish that the U.S. would take the initiative & start taking care of its own. Every country should & needs the opportunity to trade with others, but it just seems like we keep giving & with nothing to show for it. I would love just to have a job, let alone a retirement or pension plan. I'm over 50, what future do I have to take care of myself. All candidates do anymore is talk about increasing jobs. When, where & HOW are they going to do that.

Wow! Washington, DC has pay growth. Naturally, look at all the politicians and government employees! Are you looking? Vote them out and reduce the size of government payrolls totally!

Price of house back in 1950 was maybe 50 to 60 times your weekly salary. Today price of house is 500 to 600 times your weekly salary. So it is not all relative, it is out of balance. Wages are not going up in-step in same ratio with cost of living and housing costs in general.

If they would cut the pay for people who are no longer in office, there would not be any probles with our economy.Why do they continue to recieve pay when they are not in office any longer? When we loose our jobs we don't continue to recieve full payment when we are no longer needed.Don't blame everything on the presidents now or in the past.Put the past goverment employees on a normal job like everyone else with insurance benifts that they should have to fight for like the rest of us.Why should they continue to be special.

Without 'transparency?' nothing is certain, except AAmerica's hurting!

GITMO!

where are these jobs at?

So the cost of living must be the highest there as well.

There is no economic upswing. I live in Houston and my wages went down by 50%. Who writes these lies?

Remember made in USA, Sold in USA? Without this we have no spine or middle class. We can wiggle our toes and move our head but the body lies there motionless. Keep shopping at Wal Mart folks. All of you penny pinching grub worms will soon have a boss from China or India. They want to own and control America. But thats ok, we saved 1 .63 cents on our shopping today.

That's not much growth and those cities are very expensive to live in and near. We need help!

it can only keep up for so long ,then there will be a complete crash just like the housing market.ITS COMING
