I have a conservative friend that hates unions and feels that the current minimum wage is to high for what he calls "un-skilled" labor. He say's the reason he is deserving of a higher wage and standard of living is that he went to college. While I recognize education as a valuable entity, I question his reasoning for the disparity. If it were not for labor nothing in this great country would get built, transported, maintained or transformed from imagination and paper to the final product. Hell, he can't even change his own oil or perform a simple home repair, yet he still believes he somehow possesses the skills that demand higher compensation. If his time is worth say one hundred and fifty dollars an hour to perform a task for his employer than why is the guy that fixes his car or mows his lawn not worth twenty five dollars an hour? Where does he think consumer spending comes from in this country?

When it is costing us $70 BILLION a year, depressing wages, and taking jobs away. Isn't this eroding the middle class? Driving up the deficit a lot? Taking jobs away?

In The Undercover Economist, Tim Harford wrote (page 18) about the Green Belt of London, which helps keep rents and house prices in London higher than they would be. He said, "The Green Belt has made property in London scarce relative to the people who want to use it, and of course, strength comes from scarcity."

He went on to say "improved public transport increases the alternatives to renting a place in the city. When a two-hour commute becomes a one-hour commute, and peopole are able to get a seat on the train instead of standing, some decide they'd rather save money and move out of central London. Vacant apartments then appear on the market. Scarcity lessens, and rents fall."

I presume that commuter train services will only get better over time. If this assumption is true, do you think the property prices in London will also decrease as a result?

Recently the Euro has passed the dollar in value, and two whack-jobs no longer want oil's value based on the dollar. If the value of our money collapses so does our economy, and there's no doubt there are people out there trying to accomplish that feat.

What do we do and how do we do it to get back up on top?

Oil just below $100 dollars a barrel and pump prices are over 50 per cent profit, and yet still no real choice for American consumers for hybrid or alternative fuel, even with exploited tax breaks (by the automakers) and obvious demand.....
