Unemployment. Honest debate.

[reverendjeremiah]

With only a little exaggeration, you might say the same about the law of gravity.

It may not by your standard lead to happiness, but it will surely make you sadder than you are willing to imagine now if you try to defy it by what amounts to little more than wish-thinking fiat without understanding how it lays behind the every aspect of resource and wealth.

Why dont you compare economics with economies..not gravity?

Fact #1 - China receives MASSIVE amounts of foreign aid from many countries, especially economically wracked USA. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_aid...c_of_China)

Fact#2 - Some estimates put Chinas unemployment at 10% (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_...nd_welfare)

Fact#3 - China is a welfare/socialist state that guarentees employment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_...nd_welfare)

So..while you wax poetic over comparing apples and oranges and rubbing your greed into everyones faces showing how much of a selfish ass you can be... an actual, SERIOUS discussion on economics is happening on this thread.



I personally think a good start on fixing unemployment would be to stop foreign aid, at least for the moment. We should take the aid money and use it to aid ourselves, thus keeping our dollar on American shores.
