"No Job" - wonder why?

"No Job"



John Smith started the day early having set his alarmclock

(MADE IN JAPAN ) for 6 am

While his coffeepot

(MADE IN CHINA )


was perking, he shaved with his
0A

electric razor


(MADE IN HONG KONG )


He put on a


dress shirt


(MADE IN SRILANKA ),



designerjeans


(MADE IN SINGAPORE )


and


tennis shoes


(MADE INKOREA)


After cooking his breakfas t in his new


electric skillet


(MADE IN INDIA )


he sat down with his


calculator


(MADE IN MEXICO )


to see how much he could spend today. After setting his


watch


(MADE IN TAIWAN )


to the radio


(MADE IN INDIA )


he got in his car


(MADE IN GERMANY )


filled it with GAS


(from Saudi Arabia )

and continued his search


for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.


At the end of yet another discouraging


and fruitless day


checking his


Computer


(made in MALAYSIA ),


John decided to relax for a while.

He put on his sandals


(MADE IN BRAZIL ),


poured himself a glass of


wine


(MADE IN FRANCE )


and turned on his


TV


(MADE IN INDONESIA ),


and then wondered why he can't


find a good paying job


in AMERICA


AND NOW HE'S HOPING HE CAN GET HELP FROM A

PRESIDENT


(MADE IN KENYA)

I believe Free Trade was put into place by NAFTA Cert. Thanks to George Bush Senior.

Don't forget to apply Mirco vs Macro Economics to the World of Business and Capitalism there are many lessons to be learned here!!!

 

[JosephR]

I LOL'd.

 

[Dryden]

MADE IN KENYA!!!!!

Now, come on. That's just plain unbelievable. It could never happen.... just go to the White House and ask ABC news.

 

[U.S. Patriot]

Clinton was the one who put the final touches on free trade. Bush Jr. though might have not helped, did not put it in our *** like other former presidents.

Feeling bad about what he owned, Mr. Smith sold his car and bought a Pontiac G8 thinking he was now supporting his country by buying a car sold by General Motors. Unfortunately he didn't realize until after he got it home that it wasn't American made, but Australian.

So he returned his Australian made "Pontiac" and went over to his Chevy dealer to buy the all-American Camaro, only to find it too was an import and not made in the USA.

And as stated above, it was heir clinton who inked NAFTA into law, allowing most "American" cars to be imported from Canada and Mexico.

The Republicans aren't always innocent fellers!!!









North American Free Trade Agreement





Following diplomatic negotiations dating back to 1991 between the three nations, the leaders met in San Antonio, Texas, on December 17, 1992, to sign NAFTA. U.S. President George H.W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Mexican President Carlos Salinas, each responsible for spearheading and promoting the agreement, ceremonially signed it.
Before the negotiations were finalized, Bill Clinton came into office in the U.S. and Kim Campbell in Canada, and before the agreement became law, Jean Chrétien had taken office in Canada.

If you believe in laissez faire capitalism, there is absolutely nothing wrong with free trade whether it be from Indiana to Ohio or Indiana to China. Why shouldn't I as a consumer be free to buy a cheaper product from China instead of being forced to buy an overpriced item from the US?

It's the protectionism that has lead to **** poor quality American made products. Do you think the big 3 would have made any higher quality cars than they did in 70's if they didn't have to compete with the Japanese? Take away the competition and dealer lots would still be filled with Pintos, Vegas and other pieces of junk that wouldn't last more than 3-4 years like they used to.

Now, with all that said, I'm not in favor of trade agreements with other countries that put huge tariffs on our exports while we only put small tariffs on theirs. I'm in favor trade agreements that require no tariffs at all on either side.

 

[Arm America]

The easy answer is just read the original post that started this thread.

No one is forcing anyone to buy a higher priced U.S. product.......yet.

The giant sucking sound is just like Ross Perot described. And its here now.

We are quickly becoming enslaved to our new Government.
No Jobs, High Taxes, Unlimited handouts, National Health Care,
and Debt being forced on our kids kids.

Thats right Son, My self and my fellow Americans did this to you
and your little brother, aren't you proud of us?
Look what we passed on to you, no jobs, no future, no infrastructure, no dreams.

Sounds like the perfect place to live. Kinda sounds like Mexico to me.

 

[Dryden]

The solution lies with the unveiling of the new Osamabama Motors lineup of automobiles. They will be SHOWSTOPPERS (Washington interns will design the ultimate vehicles for us). EVERY kid on the block will want one.
You'll see. American manufacturing will thrive under the Government's care. These will be glorious years for the auto industry, ummmm ... I mean Ministry.

 

[hornadylnl]

Are you saying those who constantly complain about people not buying American made products wouldn't shut down importation of foreign goods if they had the chance?

 

[MACHINEGUN]

 

[Crimson]

Buy US when you can. But that isnt always an option. Some things you just think are US made and turn out to be made in a country you have not heard of.

 

[hornadylnl]

If you love America, you wouldn't buy anything but things made in the U.S.A.

So you routinely like to overpay for inferior products? I've never owned a foreign vehicle but my next one most likely will be. I will not buy a gm or chrysler product now that they are obama motors. Should I pay more for a big 3 vehicle so some lazy bastard can make $20+ an hour to sleep on the clock? Don't say that doesn't happen as I've had many family members who worked at a GM plant. I've talked to many people who work at SIA and those guys get paid well but they don't have the luxury of f'ing off for their pay either.

What's more American made, a Toyota or Suburu built right here in Lafayette or a GM that is built in Canada or Mexico?

 

[Dryden]

Should I pay more for a big 3 vehicle so some lazy bastard can make $20+ an hour

I assume you're refering to the janitor. Assembly line worker make aay more than that.

 

[jennybird]

Not this argument again guys. Really?

 

[Dryden]

Jenny: When you get as old as us, you'll discover that you can argue about ANYTHING at ANYTIME.
It's our generational pastime.

If you love America, you wouldn't buy anything but things made in the U.S.A.

While I love America, I also love money.

It may not be right, but I prefer cheaper and better.

ROTFLMAO, Clinton is out of office for a decade and NAFTA and imports are still all his fault, Obama is in office months and the deficit spending is all his fault. ROTFL, some how we skipped right over 8 years of that phony commie George (what ever it takes) Bush throwing money at every country in the world and subsidising jobs leaving the country at the same time.

The problem is this country is full of morons and stupid fools. No legislation is going to fix that. It's to late to save us from a generation of idiots who couldn't even stand in their front yard and point at Washington DC, let alone know how to fix it.

I've seen this same joke about 20 times on this forum and emails this week. We'll see it again in about 3 months or less.
