Reply #52: Obama Is Out to Lunch [View All]

[Demeter]

The US is STILL premier in agriculture--perhaps there aren't as many jobs in it, but it is still an enormous part of our economy, and one of the few things keeping us afloat. And if oil and its products grow scarce, agriculture will demand a lot more human labor.

The US will HAVE to go back to producing for itself--we cannot keep paying other nations for manufactured goods and then defrauding them with worthless securities and debt. It's not going to happen any other way. Otherwise, we sit in the dark and freeze to death.

And as for services--how many people are willing to pay for the privilege of being robbed? Not too many.
