Only local value added economies work  in balanced geopolitical settings -  President  Obama's economic stimulus package is  a "dud" -  ref: Fed. Reserve Dir. Ben Bernanke remarks to Congress during  1st stimulus report - " ... the best way to restore our  economy  is to buy  " domestically produced goods " ... Pres. Obama does not even mention free trade as a major cause of our econmic crisis.

9. (continued from Home page)
1970 - The Lost World -
A first class U.S. Postage Stamp cost 8 cents. Now it is nearly 5 times more or 500% higher.
A nice home cost $25,000. Now it is 5 times more or about 500%  higher.
A mid-size new car cost about $3,200. Now it is 5 times higher.
There were many $10,000 to $12,000 a year jobs and most statistics
of average pay was based on single workers and not family averages.
This means there should be plenty of $50,000 to $60,000 jobs for individuals but these jobs are gone. The Post Office in defending their need to raise prices provide comparisons like those above except one. They do not compare wages while the Federal Government reports averages based primarily on Family incomes. Family income averages should  be $100,00 to $120,000 if compared to the1970s.
 
10. Trickle down economy did not trickle - Friedman forgets this "flattening" during the Reagan years.  The middle and lower class start taking many more hits. The iron curtain was brought down but so was the middle and lower class. Capitalism did not have to compete and protect its position in the world against Communism directly and raw pre-emptive capitalism  surfaces using workers as tools instead of workers  with human dignity. Social Justice standards that were upheld for many years dwindled away. A new combo hybrid economic system merged commuism, socialism, totalitartianism and capticalism sytems into one. We could call it Combo-Capitalism . President Clinton fostered it by sending many of our technology secrets and high tech know how to China and he accepted Chinese money to help win the presidency.  Perhaps we should preface the Flat World with making all
"isms" one as the Flatline World.
11. Unions busted -  In firing the air traffic controllers, Reagan led the way in busting unions. Unions were arrogant in practice and demands for many years but all workers were better off during these times and not only union members.
 
12. AFL/CIO goes public- This union included public workers. Some say this was wrong to do from the very beginning. Today, the public workers have taken over the union. The private sector industrial workers are gone. Most were gone years ago while the unions were still be blamed for the downfall of our economy.  The public workers find and use many ways to protect their status while the private sector jobs go outside the USA. Many so-called public servants make twice as much money as the people they serve. Some jobs have gone overseas. In India, workers process the welfare paperwork for Americans on welfare.

13. 1950s Happy Days - Factory jobs were plentiful. I made $1.50 to $2.00 an hour in several factories while going to college. When I applied for these jobs I was usually alone in the employment office. In comparison, there should now be plenty of $15.00 to $20.00 an hour factory jobs available. However, if these jobs were available today there would be hundreds if not thousands standing in line to get them.
As a side note - Back then someone could go on a date for about $10 . This would include gas, food and entertainment. Concerts or Jazz would cost a bit more but that much more.  I used pocket change to pay for the gas.  It cost me about 6 hours of work to go on one date.
Today, it costs over a $100 for the same type of date and most likely it costs most young people about 12 hours of work to go on one date. The Happy Days are not here again - they gone - they fell off the Flat World of Friedman and his Free-Trader Globalist friends. In the process, the USA has created a vast new working poor class that finds it very difficult to jump the void between the bottom level to the vanishing middle class level.
14. Education and training- Who started the computer industry?
The Flat World Free-Traders call for more education. They forget the computer industry pioneers did not learn their craft in college. Many of the first data processing managers came from the factories and the offices. They brought with them the real world of  production and operations.  As noted before, IBM trained thousands of workers in computers. They laid off 10,000 which were quickly absorbed into companies across the USA.  Most computer manufacturers trained both their own workers and their customers.  I went through several corporate training programs and seminars myself.  The colleges were slow in getting up to speed in the computer area. And the early courses did not really match up with the needs of the industry.  It was only much later when computer science came of age in colleges.
And even after that, the graduating students knew the basics of computerization but they did not have the real world business and production experiences like the original workers.  Today, companies can not afford training their workers to any extent and so they settled for training workers only to assemble components without knowing the flow of business before and after the fact.  I brought with me several years of factory work and business experience when I went to the corporate computer schools.  This is type of know how and training is gone. The whole business world has been chopped into pieces and nothing will bring it back together again but sound business practices in local value added economies. It was a disgrace to have Free Trade throw away all these pioneers and we know now that Free Trade was the cause of the Y2k crisis because over a million workers who gave the world the computer industry were fired. The world of high technoloy is really on hold because of all of this and there is really very little we can do in upgrading education and high tech training in this country. We have compromised and let the priniciple of water seeking its lowest level prevail.
Education in general -
Teachers I know use food to entice their students to stay after classes for tutoring. This is one of the few things that work. There is a proven connection between poverty and education. And parents are too busy working to get involved.  The Flat World of Friedman and his Free Traders cry out for more education while they knock out all the pillars supporting teachers efforts. Sadly, many teachers make twice than the families of the students. Of course this will not work.

14. Under the Flat World -  The tides of waves from Hurricane Katrina washed a level of the Flat World away and exposed an underclass living in a Silent Depression. This same scenario could be repeated again and again across our land in many cities and towns.
The Flatheads of the new Flat World do not talk or with about these things.
We now have An underclass, underground economy, underemployed and under the table economy no ones wants to talk about. The USA like many other countries are dividing into the "Haves and Have nots". Also, no one wants to talk about  a real trade existing in the world that washes money through regular enterprises across the globe . It is the drug trade. 
The Flat World has this all hidded under it.
I read in a technical periodical a few years ago that one third of all computers going into China have to be smuggled in  and who would have thought we would have  modern day pirates on our oceans prying on victims in the shipping lanes.
