Actually, we were more centralized in the 40-70's. At that time, businesses worked with gov. to accomplish focused actions. Now, we have told businesses to seek the largest amount of short-term money, and that is exactly what is going on. They are moving to China. Much of that was accomplished by reagan allowing CEOs to have corporate stock, and by all nice tax cuts by reagan and W..
To make matters worse, we no longer break up companies that are too large.
For all of these companies that we bailed out, we would have been better off breaking them up as well, or even better, to simply invest into new companies.
In what part of the USA is there a public school or private school that does not teach English as primary language? In fact, I can not think of any schools, public or private in which they do not teach English, as primary language. Even in the international schools, it is assumed that student will have to stay here. Even here in the west and in the bayou, ALL SCHOOLS teach English as primary language (though a few are bi-lingual).
The facts are that the ultra-rich do NOT do their taxes. More importantly, they do not have much of a clue about how was paid. Or how many were helped by them.
What they know is that they pay top dollars to top accountants, including tax guys, whose jobs are to help make money and then keep it.
China has 60 subs today. They have started 1-2 (maybe more) new nuclear subs EACH YEAR for the last 5 years. They are about to introduce a large aircraft carrier at the end of 2011. It is expected to be assembly line approach. The thinking is that they will do a new one each year until they have reached 20. They are building what appears to be multiple space stations that is ran by a military ran space agency (china does not have a civilian space agency; it is military based).
China's military is anything but slow right now. In fact, NEVER in recorded history has any nation ever had the build up that China has now. Not Germany or America pre WWII. Not the Romans. NO NATION.
China sees itself in a cold war with the west. That is why they are now dumping on EU, and refuse to allow their Yuan to float, even though they agreed to it for WTO/IMF admittance.
Well, first off, the cane sugar tariff IS an issue. Of course, it is being solved. Candy companies are moving to Mexico. That is largely due to the costs of cane sugar. So shortly, your cane sugar will be in America anyways, just processed.
The only crop with direct subsidies is for corn for ethanol production. Personally, I hate that one. It was the neo-cons answer to how to buy votes in 2006 (would have been a worse slaughter if not for that piece).
America has price supports in place for many crops grown local AND SOLD LOCAL. So, yes, we 'subsidize' our crops for local sales only. Items that are exported are sold at international prices WITHOUT price support. AMerica does NOT provide support on that. Basically, we do not dump on the foreign markets. In addition, if markets are tight here, then it is possible for foreign entities to sell loads at much higher prices.
Finally, there is a difference between propping up your money to stabilize the money during bad trading days, vs. fixing your money to another's. In the west, most European money's were pegged to the dollar post WWII, but that was to stabilize them, and help their economies. It was the un-pegging of the 70's that created the volatile markets back then. What China is doing is ignoring the agreements in which they said that they would unpegged their money and allow it to float free.
You are correct in the build-up, however, CA's mountain pass is to be re-opened shortly. There will need to be processing of the minerals, but overall, we should have a supply within 1 year. The 15 means to have control of 100% of our needs. That may take 5 years (not 15).
Hmmm.
China flaunts all of their monetary/trade agreements in that they fix their yuan to the dollar, they heavily subsidise, and they are dumping on the western markets. Now, they are blocking exports because we are investigating their dumping.
And you think that America is responsible? Seriously?
Do you subsidize your local business, or do you dump? What is happening in China is that they are doing BOTH. Keep in mind that China belongs to IMF and WTO. They have promised to do allow their money to float, to not subsidize general trade (though apparently key tech can be), and to not dump on the open market. China breaks all of those rules. Does Sweden? Nope.

Note the word boat in mine and ship in yours.
For example a 45' viking that is running out of Jupiter is ideal of this. The one advantage of a solar cell approach is that if a boat has an outage (diesel goes out), then you still have water.
To get the price down, they need production of this. One simple way to do that, is to adopt it to boats in the western world. By doing this, the boats will be able to have clean water on-board available from offshore. Then as production increases, the costs go down. Then it allows these units to be produced CHEAPLY.
that MS proved that is not true. EVERYTHING beat Windows, on all measures for multiple decades. EXCEPT for price. Heck, you could run regular Office on OS/2 (i.e. MS' infamous monopoly did not play in here), and OS/2 was superior in EVERY sense against win 3.1. But Win 3.1/dos won. Why? Price.
It is only a matter of time, assuming that Oracle does not screw up.
While Linux is certainly the much lower costs option vs. MS, the real issue should be about Security. The problem though, is that many of *nix, is the fact that since Windows is so easily cracked. And once cracked, they have access to SSH keys and/or passwords and the ability to place a snooper. Once you have access to being on ANY TYPE BOX, it is over. It is simply a matter of time before it is fully owned. This does not matter if it is windows, Linux, OSX, trusted Linux, trusted Solaris/AIX/HP-UX, or even a os/390.
I have known ppl that have been published. They put in loads of time and got next to nothing back. The fact is, that 10-40% of book sales (top authors make 40%; new authors make 10%, or less), which have not had a massive review, will give you very little money, compared to almost 100% of the same book sales.

I wish that we could edit sometimes. Thank you.
No,but it can be closed slowly. That would allow the markets, including yours, time to adjust.

No, they do not. They have lower costsin transportation, etc. If American retailers started pushing western goods, then walmart would join.
Actually, China illegally used free markets against the west to control REEs. It is time for the west to reevaluate the market condition with China.
No, but like many of China's other agreements, they are prevented from not exporting. And yet, they are.
