We are continuing to get news that there is a decline in the amount of the jobs created. The temporary census jobs created by the government were really a bad idea. Already quite a lot of them have to leave the job. The private sectors are also not able to create more jobs for the U.S. citizens as well. So what do the people? Is migration a choice? Becoming self employed a choice? Who are we to blame? Is the government responsible? The big corporate that are controlling the flow of currency? Or is it really the people? So many questions and yet none can be answered without pointing fingers at each other. The important question will be whether the job economy will improve or not.

We have to look at the factors that are causing job employment in the private sectors to decline. We certainly cannot live our lives with temporary or contract jobs. One of the major reasons why companies do not employ more people is because of cost reasons. Recently, Obama announced that US$2 billion is going to spend on creating green energy jobs. The money is given to companies that produce solar panels allowing them to employ more people. What is the point when the government is indirectly paying the newly employed? What if the money is used up? The companies will surely let go of its workers to reduce their cost overhead.

All of the companies want to reduce cost and are sensible about employment. The government has coaxed many of them to employ more people. Practically why would a company that is making money and has enough employees that can satisfy its needs to employ more people? So what about the bigger companies? Are they employing more people? The bigger companies tend to move their manufacturing line to other countries where it is cheaper. Just by opening a production line in China, they can greatly reduce their cost overhead. For every American being employed and paid, they can employ 5 Chinese with low pay. So now the question is why the bigger companies should open up factories in the U.S. when they can make more money by moving to China.

The people also are looking for good paying jobs, especially those who are well educated with good qualifications. So what happens? The employer has to pay more. Alternatively, the employer can get a foreigner to work for him at a lowered cost. The U.S. is known as the land of opportunity but at whose expense? Every day we are having more and more immigrants coming here to work. In a country like China, it is the capacity to produce more than 2 million graduates a year. Likewise for India as well, who has many people who compete with the Americans for IT jobs. A few months back I read an article about Microsoft stating that Indian programmers do not possess the quality for IT. We have to understand that they are simply here to work and earn not help you to profit. They can easily jump the boat while you sink.

This is not about demonizing the foreigners. It is a fact that there are Americans who do the same. It is globalization on unprecedented levels. At the same time, we have to figure on how to survive with what we have. The key is to be diversified and look for opportunities and niches. We cannot depend on the government or companies to get us jobs or improve our lives. Frankly, they are more interested in their well being. Problems cannot be solved by having more and more money put into it. That is the type of thinking that got us into this mess. Have a debt problem, no problem “here, have some more money”. Be diversified and look for other means of survival. One of the ways is to do outsourcing. It is possible to do it from within your own home. It could be even something related to IT or even baking. There are even people who make things that are even cheaper and its quality surpasses factory made products. Outsourcing is a good way to cut cost for companies. That does not mean they need to look for foreign resources to outsource. It can be done even on the home ground.

The government of South Africa is going to cut Carbon emissions by a whopping 42%. China too has promised to cut her carbon emissions by 40%. But it is South Africa that is really raising my eyebrows, because, I have got to wonder, is it hot air, or a slap to the face of Western countries?

First, I would like to state the reason why I am more impressed with South Africa’s goal than I am with Chinese’ goal. Even though China has a bigger economy and is going to cut more Carbon if they succeed, they are communist. Whether or not their people like it, they can get it done as long as it is the whim and fancy of their government.

South Africa on the other hand is a free nation. It has a very good democratic system and is a large democratic state. So one would be expecting them to face the problems that other democracies are facing: opposition push back. But they did not!

US is trying to push a bill that is only going to cut emissions by 17%. And even that is too much for the right wing opposition the Republicans. It is the same with India, where the centrist Congress party is being based by the left wing socialist parties and the BJP led religious right wing. If you think Washington is bad, wait till you see the opposition to an agenda in the Indian Sabhas!

So how is this country able to get her houses in order? Is it because the 65% mandate of the ANC is enough for them while a 60% mandate would be disastrous just as it is in the United States with the Democrats? Or is it just a matter of will? The South Africans are willing to go along with it while we Americans are not…

I really feel ashamed that they can do it so easily unlike us. They are not an extremely rich country like we are. They have a higher debt vs GDP ratio than us. Their population is not so educated as us who know that the Earth is becoming warmer.

In my opinion, it is the disregard of the people over here about facts and counter checks. We do not put people in the spotlight and correct the facts. That is why there are leaders like Governor Sarah Palin, who thinks that the Earth is becoming warmer just by itself. That is why we have idiotic politicians that go on TV and can claim, “ Why is Mars and Jupiter becoming hotter? It is because the Sun is becoming hotter.” ( So I guess the Sun’s heat can only be felt by 3 out of eight of the planets for this guy! FYI, he is right but the rest of the planets are in sync with the Sun and is cooling due to the Sun’s cooling phase).

Come on America. We have single-handedly won 2 world wars. We have single handedly propped countries economies up; countries like Japan, Germany, South Korea, the United Kingdom, France, these countries all were literally built from the rubbles of war by the taxes of our forefathers. We are the beacon of hope and freedom. We even are the pioneers of green technology.

So Yes we can cut down out carbon emissions by more than the pathetic goal of 17% that the President has set. The Republicans should be demanding a higher percentage rather than claiming that climate change does not exist and that efforts to curb it would result in a loss of jobs. Lets rally and do the impossible, something only Americans can do.

If America wants to know what is the best method to deal with our debts tomorrow, we should watch with eagerness what is happening in Britain today. Many experts have come out saying that the British has accumulated too much debt in the past 24 months, and there may be consequences.

Experts like Morgan Stanley have suggested that the UK has spent too much in the past couple of years in trying to prop up the economy. It has a tremendous amount of debt; its debt vs GDP ratio is much higher than ours here in the US.

Most experts still agree that the UK would not crash as yet; but an outcome would be that her currency , the Pound Sterling, would have to be weakened . While there would be many businesses that rejoice at that news, it is not all that rosy.

For one, a weakening of the pound would mean a rise in inflation for the local Brits. Imported goods would cost more. Most of the products made in the United Kingdom are, like most countries, made in China. So there would be a rise in prices in Chinese products.

We here, across the Atlantic should take note. While our debt vs GDP is not as bad as it is for Japan, India, Italy or the United Kingdom, we still have more debt than all of them put together. We still have got issues to sort out, like our lack of tax income and our terrible health care problem. We are still borrowing more and more money from the Chinese. A few bad moves in the next few years might make us experience the bad outcome before the United Kingdom.

Of course there are advantages with our system. For one, if we want to, we can virtually produce everything in America. That is something that the United Kingdom can only dream of. Technically speaking, if we lower the value of our dollar, companies would be more interested in opening factories and production centers in America. We have the resources as our country is huge, the United Kingdom does not. Also with full employment as the result of the factories, there would come the demand which would strengthen the dollar back to what it is supposed to be in the long run. We do have a juggernaut of an economy that is much larger than the Brits’.

That being said,football games are not won on paper. We need to play the game well to win. In this case, anything could go wrong; from bad leadership to counter measures by the Chinese. There are lots of things that could happen.

So it is very essential that we sit back and watch how the British handle their debt problem. If they do it well, we should model ours based on their techniques. If they screw up, we should learn from their mistakes and avoid making them. It is something that is very important for the future of our nation.

We should do our part as a people and read up on the situation. We should be keen about what is going on over there. In that manner, we can vote the person with the right solution into power.

We have heard it many times over and over again. China is spying on the United States of America. While this may not be much today, it can result in dire consequences in the future. While our government are scratching their heads thinking of what to do with them, we got an idea…

China is spying on the United States more than every before. That is what the site www.uscc.gov states. I also find it hard to believe that my nation would be out there trying to frame China as some would suggest. They often ask : Why would China only spy on America and not other countries? My answer would be : what makes you think that China spies only on USA?

The manner the Chinese do it is genius. They do not use agencies like we do. They do not have the FBI, CIA or other securities that are carrying out this operations; they use random kids! They let teens and young adults hack away the CIA on their own and then let them sell the secrets to the Chinese government! That I think is absolutely genius, in an evil sort of way!

Evil, because this is a method the Chinese can use to get unfair trade advantages with us. They do not need to spend billions of dollars worth of their taxpayers money to get the technology like we do. That jeopardizes our economy.

They can also hack and receive military secrets, something which is of a national security interest. While China may have a much smaller military budget, her areas of concern are small as compared to the US. Why do they need that much if they are only defending their borders? Why are they so concerned about our ships in the South China Sea, which is international waters? That is something that we Americans should view as a threat.

So what should we do about it? Well, we have thought about this and we came up with something very simple : Lets copy what they do to us, improve on it, and give them back a taste of their own medicine!Lets use our teenagers and young adults and spy on them. Not only that, we can send them some Trojans as presents too!

Think about it. We can take all the good things from the Chinese. Lets know where their military is located. Lets find out what they think about us in the China Communist Party. It is cheap and effective. How do we know? The Chinese are doing it! Lets give them back their own medicine for a change.

It is not like people have not spied on China before. There was this guy who spied for Taiwan, before their idiot of a President Chen Shui-bian ( now a convict in prison) opened his mouth and the spy got exposed. If the Taiwanese can do it, so can we!

I think nobody would follow this, even if they may agree with me. This is because China holds so much of the US debt and we are still taking lots of debt money from them. We still need China’s help with North Korea, Sudan, and Iran amongst other countries. E.g. If China stops buying Iranian oil, Iran would go bankrupt in a week!
