It seems we are no longer a big agricultural country. It appears most things in the stores are made in china.
Just wondering what are we selling and to who or how are we making our money in the world?

If the US dollar hyperinflates away into oblivion.. so that all the poor Americans own sacks of worthless cash.. will the euro withstand the economic turmoil?

In other words will the euro be a financial anchor during a worldly economic shite storm?

Lengthy explanations welcome, thanks!

US has as large of an income gap betwen the rich and the poor as the totalitarian state of Turkmenistan where the populace are poor and the leader was hailed as a progeny of Muhammed.

But how does this relate to the difference between mean and median wages?

Paul Volker wrote that we are going to have a deep, deep depression starting in the middle of 2008. Do you think the economy is much worse that what the media would lead you to believe? If so why? If not why?

My thought is that if some billionaire finds an extra $10M in his wallet come tax day, that most if not all of that money is going into the stock market or some other paper interest, and not back into the ecconomy to create more goods and services as is commonly espoused as the justification.

As a rule in traveling to other states, I have found that states where octane rating for regular unleaded gasoline is 87 cost, on average, the same as 85 octane gas in other states where that is the rating for regular unleaded. Why should this be? Shouldn't it be proportionally lower in cost?

as far as I know, people are still laboring in factories for two cents an hour. and I actually do know some people, personally, who use factories in china. they totally don't give them a fair cut and told me recently, "you don't realize how desperate they are. they're always more desperate than you." in other words, they totally rip them off because they can and they know they'll cave first. these are asians ripping off their own people, making them work for less and less.

infuriating.

but what is the reasoning behind this saying? I keep hearing it but I don't see it.

Milk is a local product from farmers everywhere. Most of our oil is on reserve and is an imported product. Most people complain about gas prices, but we pay more for milk.
