The Land of The Statue of Liberty

I think, I may have posted this earlier.
Since it gives the basic US philosophy of spend now, pay later, I am repeating it.

WHY AMERICA'S ECONOMY FELL OFF THE CLIFF

John Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock
(MADE IN JAPAN)
for 6 am.
While his coffeepot
(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


It is to the credit of USA that in spite of its economy being in dire straits, it continues to fight for human rights and also terrorism, although they may also be the cause of terrorism.
When we see our own country and other countries raising traded barriers as soon as their own industries start performing badly, it is to USA's credit that they allow imports at the cost of their own industries.
Rather, we may be laughing at USA for the ills to the world's financial system but the whole world would suffer if they did not allow imports.
We are seeing the results in our own textile, diamond and other export oriented industries.
The people have started watching their expenses and now theri saving have started growing.
There is still hope.
After all the Statue of Liberty is in USA.
We in India only have statues of Elephants and Mayawati.
They serve no useful prupose to the general mass.
Only the statue makers gain and also Mayawati,
Through kickbacks.
