I was watching CNN money line with Lou Dobbs the other night and I watched this avid freemarketeer attempt to explain and rationalize why the unemployment rate was still going up , even as the Bush administration was claiming more new jobs were being created. I watched this clown and some bubbleheaded assistant juggle unemployment figures , economic statistics and present this as a positive economic equation . Needless too say it was less than convincing........
The entire Commerce depart does not have a clue, what to do to improve US Economy. They are stuck on the old methodology where they are willing to arm twist a foreign government into buying American PRODUCTS which has already moved to China. As Sciforums readers know, I have a small IT consulting business. I talked to several people in the Commerce Department to see if I can export my services. When they heard the word Technology and Service in the same sentence, their brain shut down. One person flat out said, "unless you have a product to sell, we can not help you."
