Stock market is up, jobless rate is going down, their is an increase in investment, more and more small and medium sized businesses are opening, tourism is up, and their trade deficit is shrinking. Thanks in part to a low US dollar.
The US Stock Market is being artificially supported. The real unemployment rate, if you include those who had their benefits run out and those who gave up on finding a job, is closer to 10%. As to the low US$ it is hurting them On importart since they have to pay more. Many countries are switching from the US$ to the Euro now as well.
$1:
So is Canada, Europe, Australia and Japan. Outsourcing of jobs isn't a US-only issue.
But no where near the scale which the US is doing it even if you take into a per capita. They're even outsourcing much of their legal services as well now to places like India and China.
$1:
And while some of these jobs are being exported, their are new demands for employment that opens up right here. (Though they require more skill).
That is here and not there.
$1:
Even the Canadian immigration minister says that there's too much unskilled workers and too little skilled workers in this country.
Like I had said, the scale is different.
$1:
[size=12]That's not the number the US labor department has, but never mind. FYI: That's how an economic boom begins. An increase in investment in small and medium sized businesses which leads to higher capital being circulated, which increases profits, which leads to more investment, more job openings, more companies upsizing, etc, etc. etc. An economic boom doesn't happen overnight.
That is the theory, but not the practice this time. Many other nations see what is happening in the US on a longer time frame and they don't like what they see. The way things are going we may soon have to look to other markets to buy our raw materials.
$1:
It happens in the span of 3-4 years.
Usually, but since the US is being held up by artificall means now which will do nothing more than vastly increase the national debt it doesn't look to good for the US at all. BTW, Canada's ecnomy is not being supported by artificial means as the US is.
$1:
They smashed the Taliban.
They only hid Bin Ladin, they had nothing to do with the attacks itself and in this case it was the world who pitched in to help the US as well. BTW, he is still on the loose and he looks quite well in the last video of his.
$1:
Terrorists are on the run,
Hardly, if anything they are gaining more and more recruites especially in Iraq now that Bush did them the favor of getting rid of Saddam, whom they hated almost as much as the US.
$1:
Saddam Hussein no longer finances Hamas and Islamic Jihad, Libya decided to abandon its Weapons program to avoid rifts with the US, and more and more Jihadi fighters are corssing into Iraq and getting killed. I'm sorry, how's the US military not protecting them again?
Even the US military admits now that he had nothing to do with the terrorists.
There is also a new US military report out which shows that even their closes allies in the Middle-East don't like them all that much. That the people there don't want to be liberated by the US, nor do they want American style democracy either.
The worse form of tyranny is democracy imposed from without. It has to come from the people themselves or it is meaninless. Next months election in Iraq is a joke since they people won't have a real choice to vote for anyone because only those approved by the US can run.
$1:
Well that certainly doesn't explain how Medial personel from Canada and the Far East have been fleeing to the US.
They think that they will get more money. They don't realize that there are also more costs there as well. The US spends more on health care than we do, but most of that cost is in administrative costs and malpractice.
$1:
And it certainly doesn't explain how the US still atracts the most foreign students to its country than the whole world combined
Sure, their universities are still good, but most American students aren't going into the degrees for the maths and the sciences, they are more interested in courses which they feel will bring them into careers which will earn the most money. The foreign students aren't allowed in many cases to stay after they finish their course there and have to to back home instead.
The rest of the American educational system is a mess.
$1:
It is certainly helping avenging it though.
No, it isn't. If anything it is making things worse. since the US stopped fighting the war on terror and invaded Iraq instead. The world is less safe since the invasion of Iraq.
$1:
Family values and moral issues may not be important to YOU.
They are important to me, it is just that I don't have a limited and narrow views of what a family is or what real morals are as you do.
$1:
But they are important to the majority of Americans (you just have different values, not superiour ones).
Most Americans are being lied to by the religious reich in their country. The religious reich has a warpped view of what is moral and what isn't.
$1:
And one can say the same about Canadians who elect corrupt politicians who believe that same-sex marriage is more important that squandering money and total carelessness of taxpayers money.
Irrelevant. They wouldn't have to bring forth these issues if it were for those who don't know how to mind their own business. Like I had said you mind it when they help with social issues, but you sure like it when they impose your religious beliefs on everyone.
$1:
Oh they're is. Leftists are trying to ram their opinions down the throats of evreybody. Trying to show people that Christians are evil, and that to practise religion is bad, and so on.
Paranoid delusion. They don't have to show anyone that since Christians are doing such a fine job of it themselves for the most part.
Just look at the history of Christian and you'll see just how bloody it actually is. If anything people can fight back in self-defnese now since Christianity is in decline in both power and overall growth rate. It is at a stand still now in comparison to the world population growth rate.

Your trying to defend child molestors and saying that people who don;t share your views should be killed. Just like Stalin.
Child molestors like priests and ministers? To a molestor a child's gender is irrelevant. Your type always bring up the fallacy of gays being child molestors, the fact is that the vast majority of child molestors are heterosexuals. If anything a gay parent would be far more loving a parent.
When did I say that people who don't share my view should be killed like Stalin?
