Title: What Can Be Done To Make America More Competetive With Other Nations?
Post by: Ashisrael on January 23, 2013, 06:01:17 PM
The first thing that comes to my mind is to reduce much of the Federal Regulation Burdens that business owners must deal with and it is not only cumbersome but very expensive having to comply with all the Federal Regulations. 

America must become more business friendly or we will continue to see jobs shipped out of America and business owners moving to more business friendly nations.

Start by getting rid of liberals, then change the laws.

Just kick all the liberal/socialist teachers/professors out of education and America will begin to heal itself.

Newsflash, noob--US workers are more productive, work more hours, and take fewer vacation days than just about, well, ANYBODY in the industrialized world.  Only Japan has fewer national holidays, but then again, a lot of people here don't get days like MLK Birthday, Columbus Day, etc., off.

The only downside to the US worker is the cost of labor, but then again, when products are made in China by guys who are in sweatshops making less than a buck an hour, kinda hard to undercut that, now ain't it?

And yet according to experts on the subject the U.S. is in fifth place regarding competetiveness amongst all other economies.

The high cost of U.S. labor is a problem  but that is far from being the only negative. You need to study up a little more.

 Right up there at the top is the costs of Federal Regulations...anyone who has ever been in business knows that.  I could cite the overall costs of Federal Regulation but it is so staggering you would probably not believe it.

Also:  We have more countries than China to worry about.  Yet we can deal with China by using the Japanese Model.

Also according to economic analysts the Swiss are number one in regards to being competetive and their labor costs are far from cheap.

I would suggest that next time before quickly assuming a condescending attitude you make sure you have all the facts.   Tally-ho

Our cost of living is the problem.

Well Duh! 

Government regulations, taxes and high labor costs are the three major drags on business.

I would suggest that next time before being a total prick you tell us something we don't already know.  You come in here and tell us that goverment regulation and taxes drag the economy down?

STOP THE ****IN PRESSES!!!  Where were you to tell me this before I learned it over 30 years ago?

And I'll assume any ****ing attitude I like, **** you very much.

Trust me, you are more exact than you can ever imagine with that one. Also, no hiring of profs unless they show a couple yrs of real world experience.

And you are so spot on. My best professors had used or earned their education out in the real world before becoming professors.

I think we should stick to what might be possible if this discussion is to be realistic.

Not likely to happen.  Unfortunately, quite the opposite is most likely.

Convince the Mexicans that if they think it's sweet here, Canada is better yet, and the border is much longer and even less protected.
