While I agree that more jobs should be kept on homeland, many of the unemployed people are the ones that lost their job in the dot com disasters.

It may be true that we have the biggest deficit in history, but we as a nation have been through far worse times. You can't even compare the Depression to a slump in our economy now. These days, people are in debt from having too much. Credit card debts, high interest loans etc. Very few live within or under their means. The difference between poverty and debt, is that today people complain about not being able to buy luxury items, as opposed to other recessions, where people could not afford to buy food or when food simply wasn't available.

When the majority of the US has no food supply, no running water, no heat, no sanitation etc (like MANY other countries) When we are tapped out of the bare necessities, it's at that time that I will complain about how much debt my country is in. I'm not so selfish that I would worry about what I have to go without. I have been on both sides of the rich and poor teeter totter, rich is better, undeniably! but personally, I'd be willing to go without a lot, just to sustain basic survival. What it comes down to, is greed and like I have said before, I am thankful for all that I have, most of which is just gravy.
