We are SO unprepared for our future

As I noticed with over 300 emails responding to Part 1 of this series, old paradigms die hard. Most readers ‘saw’ what I wrote about because they could see it occurring in their own communities and across America. Others ‘balked’ because they couldn’t imagine the ‘change’ coming. Others live in denial of our shifting world.

Whether we like it or not, history sweeps us into its vice-like grip like a Florida alligator. Sometimes it hits unexpectedly like an Oklahoma tornado—no warning! At other times, a society can unravel like Charlie Sheen this week! If you look around the United States, the warnings and symptoms of our future—hit us over the head daily.

• Rising gas prices

• Cost of food rising

• Home heating costs rising

• Mercantile goods rising costs

• Wages dead or lowering

• Unions losing clout

• Poverty growing

• 43 million Americans subsisting on food stamps

• 15 to 22 million Americans unemployed, underemployed

• No chance to ever regain full employment as we add 3.1 million immigrants annually

While I present solutions at the end of each column, it won’t do any good if we fail to implement them. Our own Congress languishes in bed with those that hire, work, feed, house and support endless legal and illegal immigration—the main driver for our overloaded civilization.

If you watched Diane Sawyer and David Muir on ABC this week, you observed in amazement that the average American home features just about everything “Made in Chinaâ€

The above is the key to our problems but more people then just government caused the mass exodus from our manufacturing shores, large companies and there stockholders wanted huge profits at the expense of America and it's workers that continues today.

We had a local company making a good profit paying fair wages to those workers that had been with them from the beginning and the workers reward was a sell out and move to Mexico plan for owners.

In truth blame goes to all of us,government,CEO's,stockholders and consumers who continue to purchase junk products from the third world, sad fact is we now cannot find many products made in USA.

Each time you purchase a product made in China or other third world it is another nail in the coffin of America.
