Summers said the rebuilt U.S. economy must be more export-oriented

Overall it's more expensive to hire a person in Germany vs the US, and they have the largest export economy in the world (bigger even vs China)...so I'm sure they would be interested in hearing that it is impossibe.

"Export oriented?" Total BULLSHIT! Empty words to appease the masses. We'd love it to be so, but there's not a "snowball's chance in Hell" of EVER developing an overall net exporting economy so long as there is a cheap labor alternative in Asia.

He deserves 20 lashes for blowing smoke up our skirts...

Isn't Germany a leader in high-tech and high quality goods? "Things" that they feel couldn't be made to the same standards overseas? Besides, Germany's population is only bout 1/4 of the US.

Germany will likely keep hold of much of that niche... but that's a different problem than we face in the US. We need a way for high school drop-outs to make $50K per year in new manufacturing.
 
You don't have any intelligence to insult.

Oh, please, this is all photo op stuff. That's all National Parks Service real-estate. Nobody starts their first veggie garden at the White House. Look at those gloves. First time. I have a whole box of leather gloves. Most have holes/missing fingers.

The photo insults our intelligence.

Since the oil embargo of the '70s, presidents have said, "we need an an energy policy... we need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil"....

Yet here we are 35 years later. Imported oil dependence higher than ever... and still no energy policy.

Smacks of intentional dereliction, doesn't it?
