    People that rag on companies that outsource to China don’t understand economics. Companies that decline to be economically efficient simply die and are replaced by Chinese companies. Is it better to have an American company with some operations in the US, or no company at all?

    This seems to be the principal principle of the world today.

    A man of honor, indeed. He lives by his code and will die by his code. ;)

    What a shame, he has decided to become a Republican.

    @Squoop … Ya know, based on the latest President, I was thinking that Calvin had decided to become a Democrat …

    I think deep down, we all look out for number one. It sure would be nice if somebody could start another strip of Bacon and Hobbes after Calvin and Susie got married.

    One problem with being “number one” is somebody always wants to take your place…

    Calvin is Number One all right.

    That’s not just my opinion… It’s his too!

    The sad thing is that people pay lip service to “companies shouldn’t outsource”, but do they “buy American”? No, they buy what is cheap. Consider vacuums. Airway was once a leader, and invented the vacuum bag. They kept making quality vacuums in Alabama for years, until no one would buy them anymore because they cost $600. Or consider Hoover, once the world leader. They kept making them in Iowa, but were underpriced by imports, and nearly died, and had to sell out. Buy a vacuum for under $100, i guarantee is came from China, or someplace similar. What vacuum is in your closet? There is an Airway in mine. Because it was well made, it will last at least another 10-20 years. How about yours?

    Unions are just another form of the people wanting something for nothing and they pay extra in the form of union dues (but evidently don’t realize it). Similar to the freebies that taxpayers pay for.

    I’m very well educated, but thank you. Because of the limited ability for discussion here, it’s very difficult to tell whether the depth of your knowledge is limited to propaganda or not. In any case, to answer your question “how do I want my grandchildren to live”, the answer is “better than they actually will live.” Sadly, because we have stripped away the protections in our constitution, that used to protect us from an over-reaching government, we are now spending the wealth of the country at a very rapid pace, in order to maintain a standard of living well in excess of what we are producing. At some point in the next 50 years (and more likely 30 years) our ability to sustain this standard of living will be gone, and our system of government will collapse, to be replaced by a dictatorship of some sort. If you are educated, that should come as no surprise. It was expected and predicted by our founding fathers even as they created our form of government, because that’s always what ultimately happens to republics and democracies; they consume themselves. The greatest irony of all is that the very people that will ultimately be harmed the most by our policies, the young, are the ones that most strongly favor them.

    Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.-Ronald Reagan
