John Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN ) for 6 am. While his coffeepo (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG) He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN ) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA ) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY ) filled it with GAS (from Saudi Arabia ) and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB. At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his Computer (made in MALAYSIA ),

John decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals MADE IN BRAZIL), poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in AMERICA

AND NOW HE'S HOPING HE CAN GET HELP FROM A PRESIDENT MADE IN KENYA

I agree with duglas but i hasten to add that US economy fell apart because of the propensity of american traders to sell empty coupons on wall street and earn billions out of non-existent commodity.

What was orignally a promissing property/housing mortgage market went sour when the brighht boys of wall street repackaged the banks mortgage instruments into empty shares and traded these publicly in wall street. When the gas prices started soaring in 2007, small property mortgagors gradually defaulted on their loans and the repackaged shares went awry. Hence, the story of freddie mac and fanny mac that went really funny worldwide, with domino effect to boot.

The lessons from this crisis is pretty simple, stabilize crude prices and the greatest economy that is america will also estabilize. If america is unstable, the world economy will always be unstable. Hence, we go back to wall street which handles world crude trading. If the bright boys in wall street stop selling empty oil coupons (they call it futures trading) world economy will estabilize.

The story of alsboys presents the funny side of world trade and globalization, also the brainchild of america.

Stupid post. The cause of the US economy falling apart was the American obsession with what they call freedom. The company directors and the like, through greed turned freedom into anarchy, and they were allowed to because a gullible majority saw it as the directors' right to do so. Freedom remember. These directors were given free rein to rape and plunder their companies and take huge, unjustified bonuses in the name of freedom.

Thats's why Mr Smith can't buy anything American, the companies just can't compete. It looks like even those ugly great Chrysler vehicles are going to be made by Fiat soon.

By the way, Obama has an American birth certificate
