Do you want imports to increase relative to exports or decrease?
I want Walmart to be stocked with US-made products.
dd, thanks for leading me to the information that I sought. Romney won one group on education. The college degree. Lost those with some college and post-graduates.
Now I understand why you were afraid to give me the link. YOU WERE LYING. Also this is based on exit polling. I will wait for the actual vote analysis.
dd, I forgot that you do not knew how trading among countries works. The red states get more back for the federal government than they put in.

I would ask dd to post them but he will just tell me I am an idiot,
Aww? Don't put yourself down like that, Zag? I only call people idiots who think 3 is greater than 30.

Thanks. I guess I should have known that by specifically not asking you for it was the one way I could get you to supply the link.
EUREKA!
A thread with like minded people sharing similar thoughts and those with differing opinions on the political landscape or lack there of in America and planet Earth.
The repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999 and why that happened and who was behind it is a very compelling read,and explains many of the current economic ills not only in the US but Euro countries as well.
I'm not sure if this talking point has been mentioned or just the pink elephant everyone in the room is ignoring,but it's another obstacle for the Republican base...
Five new women were elected to the Senate, bringing the total to a record 20. The number of female Democrats will grow from 12 to 16 while the number of female Republicans will drop from five to four. And in the House, the number of women will rise by at least three overall. But there will probably be four fewer Republican women, pending the results of some unresolved races.The expanding presence of Democratic women, combined with the growth of the House black and Hispanic caucuses. For the first time in US history, white men will be in the minority next year in the House Democratic Caucus.
The most interesting is Elizabeth Warren the newly elected senator of Massachusetts,she is a Harvard professor and American bancruptcy law expert who is very in tune to the plight of the have nots and i quote...
"There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own – nobody. ... You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for; you hired workers the rest of us paid to educate; you were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory, and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the rest of us did. Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea. God bless – keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is, you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along"
And if you ned a link to the answers I gave to what the Republicans should do next election, I can't help you there because I don't know what page it's on in this thread - - - but it's there, a few times.
Now then, where's that debate about whether a 7th grade Social Studies teachers is "highly educated?"
sorry, meant to give you this:
