When the Republican Party gets America down to third world standards will our jobs come back?

Rev. Hal L

@How would I know/: So you agree to unionize America and export unions overseas to help bring the world up to our standards instead?
What's with citing the democrats are in charge? The GOP stymies all of Obama's efforts. His hands are tied and you all know it.
I don't understand many of these answers. The democrats support unions to uplift the middle class. The Republican party supports the "Right to work for less" laws in order to subjugate the middle class.

Answer
Still no, by then the middle-class market will be India and China, local to manufacturing. The future for America is Brazil, armoured cars and gates for the rich and their hangers on. Huge slums where the Police will not go without Army backup. "Independence" meaning every-man-for-himself.

You would not recognize Americ is a Republican is elected.

But GOOD NEWS....Obama 2012, Hillary back-to-back 2016-2020.......maybe a new fresh thinking Republican in 2024 after the Depression is over and people are again too busy at their jobs and summer homes to care about Republican "promises"............naw....not even in 2024

What was China like in the 1990s?

L'Carpetro

Was it still significantly more Maoist and old fashioned than today or was it already pretty materialistic and Westernized? Did bikes still outnumber cars in 1999?

Answer
The Chinese GDP per capita was only 300 dollars in 1990.

In 2013, it's 8,271 by nominal exchange rate, and 12,472 by PPP (i.e. purchasing power parity).

Total GDP in China was only 200 billion dollars in 1990, in 2013 it's 9,372 billion dollars.... or 9.372 TRILLION DOLLARS.

In the 1990s, no Chinese own cars, in 2013, car ownership in urban area is UNIVERSAL. The Chinese buy 0 cars in 1990, they buy 20 MILLION in 2013.

In the 1990s, there was no express ways in China, in 2013, The Chinese express way (or highway) system EXCEEDED US INTERSTATE HIGHWAY BY 30% ! OR 97,234 KM, THE US HAS 78,281 KM.

In the 1990s, China was not industrialized, industrial output is lower than Canada... In 2013, THE CHINESE INDUSTRIAL OUTPUT IS 48% HIGHER THAN UNITED STATES. (Notice, United States is 15 times the size of Canada, in terms of Industrial output).

In the 1990s, traveling in China by train was miserable, it's no better than India... In 2013, The Chinese mainly take high speed trains that travel more than 300km/hr, in 1990, there were 0 km high speed raillines in China, in 2013, 70% of high speed raillines in the world are in China.

In 1990s, No Chinese travel abroad for tourism... In 2012 alone, 85 million Chinese have gone to foreign countries for recreation purposes, and spent 112 billion dollars abroad for tourism ! THE HIGHEST IN THE WORLD, OUTSTRIP THE DISTANT SECOND ... US BY 43% !

Literally 900 million Chinese people were lifted out of poverty because of CHINESE GROWTH.

The difference is HUGE, and remarkable to say the least. Look how far they have gone !

@WNL: YOU COULDN'T BE MORE BITTER, The very fact that negative news about China are freely reportable within China BY Chinese media shows degree of freedom is greatly improving in the country IN THE FIRST PLACE ! PERIOD !

@Liu: WRONG ! If only those who are connected with the government can get rich, how come 900 MILLION WERE LIFTED OUTTA POVERTY? ARE YOU SAYING THERE'RE 900 MILLION CHINESE WHO HAVE SPECIAL CONNECTIONS WITH THE GOVERNMENT??? ! PREPOSTEROUS ! BE PROUD, LIU, YOU ARE ALSO CHINESE, BE PROUD, AND BE A MAN !

@Sense: YOU REALLY HAVE NON-SENSE. Back in 1978, 95% of Chinese population lived under 2 dollars a day, in 2013, only 7.8% live under 2 dollars a day, in effect more than 900 MILLION WERE LIFTED OUTTA POVERTY. YOU JUST CAN'T DENY THE TRUTH.

@FREAKLY: Haters are always gonna be haters, I'm not gonna argue with you, it's very very sad that you choose to be a self-hating Chinese whereas actually trying to make the world a better place. RIP.

Answer
NEVER take supplements without your doctor's OK.

For India: http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-06-19/ludhiana/40069479_1_hair-loss-hair-fall-treatment-trichology OR http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-07-11/health/40513861_1_hair-loss-diabetes-capital-international-diabetes-federation

Biotin alone is not going to do that for your hair, that's like have a car and not use gas. You need all the healthy foods from Mother Nature, not just biotin. Do you know what's in the biotin?
    Biotin - cauliflower, liver, salmon, carrots, bananas, cereals, yeast, and soy flour. Keep in mind that biotin content is reduced when food is cooked or preserved. One YA poster caused her to have major breakouts from supplements. Another poster said: "
i took biotin to grow my hair out, and it ended up falling out too!! it was worse around my bang area, like where you part it, there waas a huge patch of hair missing so i had to move my part for 5 months!" Another example, one taking Biotin & Zinc: "I have taken Biotin ( 300mcg ), Zinc (15mg) and Folic Acid(800mcg) and I realised my breast have gotten really sore, I didn't know what the reason was, but then I realised that I have been taken vitamins."

HEAT & CHEMICALS are hair's worst enemies. You have any of those on your hair?

If you've straightened your hair in the past, it may grow slowly or none at all.
Google: "Foods for Healthy Hair" http://www.foodforhealthyhair.com/ http://sg.news.yahoo.com/food-for-healthy-hair.html - or 10 Best Foods for Your Hair.
http://www.channelstv.com/home/2012/07/03/10-best-foods-for-your-hair/
http://gulfnews.com/life-style/beauty-fashion/beauty/best-foods-for-healthy-hair-1.1183522
http://gulfnews.com/life-style/beauty-fashion/beauty/best-foods-for-healthy-hair-1.1183522
NO MATTER which link you picked, they all suggest the same foods. Your hair may be the fastest-growing tissue in the body but, unlike the skin, it cannot repair itself. That is why getting the right balance of vitamins and proteins is imperative. Don't expect to look like you've stepped out of a hair commercial the day after you've changed your diet. It is likely to take at least three months before you actually see tangible results. Hair is dead, but hair also has electrical energy; the negative charge of damaged hair can lead to flyways and unruly hair.

Growing healthy hair doesn't come from a bottle or pills and hair products do not speed hair growth. Any hair oil, is another form to keep hair moisturized, nothing more. If you're in HS, your hair & nails should be growing normally, and as healthily as possible, since you're eating healthy foods. But when hair isn't growing as fast, it's because they've been tampered with: chemicals, hair straightening, etc. . .

"You find people oiling hair every single day, the hair sweats and it doesnât get washed. What do you think happens? It goes limp and becomes thin because it is not breathing,â Shamillah Mohammed, a hairstylist at SUQA, says.

Who's excited about doubling energy prices in the name of a vague environmental benefit that can't be measured?

WJ

Answer
Ignor-anuses are excited about it...crafting trillion dollar legislation based upon a hypothesis...brilliant. It's nothing more than an energy tax -- more money to spend for those in charge.

I sent an e-mail to my Rep. who voted YEA today that might make her a little uncomfortable...complete moron.

I found this a refreshing clip about Conservatives and Liberal philosophies...maybe you will too?:

Edit:
Quan -- ask and you shall receive...testimony given by Ben Lieberman this morning:
"The only entities directly regulated by Waxman-Markey would be the electric utilities, oil refiners, natural gas producers, and some manufacturers that produce energy on site. So, the good news for the rest of us--homeowners, car owners, small-business owners, farmers--is that we won't be directly regulated under this bill. The bad news is that nearly all the costs will get passed on to us anyway.

What are those costs? According to the analysis we conducted at The Heritage Foundation, which is attached to my written statement, the higher energy costs kick in as soon as the bill's provisions take effect in 2012. For a household of four, energy costs go up $436 that year, and they eventually reach $1,241 in 2035 and average $829 annually over that span. Electricity costs go up 90 percent by 2035, gasoline by 58 percent, and natural gas by 55 percent by 2035. The cumulative higher energy costs for a family of four by then will be nearly $20,000.

But direct energy costs are only part of the consumer impact. Nearly everything goes up, since higher energy costs raise production costs. If you look at the total cost of Waxman-Markey, it works out to an average of $2,979 annually from 2012-2035 for a household of four. By 2035 alone, the total cost is over $4,600.

Beyond the cost impact on individuals and households, Waxman-Markey also affects employment, and especially employment in the manufacturing sector. We estimate job losses averaging 1,145,000 at any given time from 2012-2035. And note that those are net job losses, after the much-hyped green jobs are taken into account. Some of the lost jobs will be destroyed entirely, while others will be outsourced to nations like China and India that have repeatedly stated that they'll never hamper their own economic growth with energy-cost boosting global warming measures like Waxman-Markey.

Since farming is energy intensive, that sector will be particularly hard-hit. Higher gasoline and diesel fuel costs, higher electricity costs, and higher natural gas-derived fertilizer costs all erode farm profits, which are expected to drop by 28 percent in 2012 and average 57 percent lower through 2035. As with American manufacturers, Waxman-Markey also puts American farmers at a global disadvantage, as other food-exporting nations would have no comparable energy-price raising measures in place.

Overall, Waxman-Markey reduces gross domestic product by an average of $393 billion annually between 2012 and 2035, and cumulatively by $9.4 trillion. In other words, the nation will be $9.4 trillion poorer with Waxman-Markey than without it."

Edit:
Bash - "The non-partisan CBO and EPA disagree with you."

The non-partisan CBO clearly identifies that the middle/upper-middle classes will pay for it explicitly -- and when costs of consumer products rise, so will the lower class: Last Page - NET COSTS - middle & fourth quartile...ouch.
http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/103xx/doc10327/06-19-CapAndTradeCosts.pdf

Consequently, who do you think pays for this "relief" that nobody seems to be talking about...?

"The Distribution of Direct Relief to Households
About 31 percent of the allowance value would be allocated in a fairly direct
manner to U. S. households to compensate them for their increased expenditures
(see Table 1). Some of that relief is expected to be allocated across most
households in the form of a rebate on their bills for heating and cooling their
homes. Other relief would be directed at low-income households in the form of an
energy rebate or a tax credit. By CBOâs estimates, 25 percent of the direct relief
to households would go to households in the lowest income quintile and
50 percent to households in the two lowest quintiles combined. On average, the
amount of direct relief would offset 94 percent of the additional expenses that
households in the lowest quintile incurred. In contrast, the direct relief received by
households in the highest quintile would offset only 18 percent of their added
costs."

Edit:
Quan -- did you even read the CBO report? Did you recognize who takes the brunt of the burden?

Not sure about you but my family owns a farm and these "relief" allowances provide about $3/acre while our costs due directly to Cap & Trade increase anywhere b/n $75-$80/acre. Who do you think gets to pay for that $72-$77 shortfall? It won't be us...

"Net Costs and Benefits
Taking account of householdsâ share of the gross compliance cost and resource
costs and the relief that would flow to households either through direct rebates
and transfers or indirectly through the allocation of allowances, CBO estimates
that households in the lowest income quintile would see an average net benefit
of about $40, while households in the highest income quintile would
see a net cost of approximately $245 (see Table 2). Households in the second
lowest quintile would see added costs of about $40 on average, those in the
middle quintile would see an increase in costs of about $235, and those in
the fourth quintile would pay about an additional $340 per year. Overall, costs for
households would average 0.2 percent of their average after-tax income."
