was it a global economy when he was around? The times change and either you compete, or lose. The same goes for workers. It is up to the individual to make themselves as valuable as possible. The good looking girl gets more guys coming to her as opposed to the 300 pound girl.

That global economy, in reality is a rather simple thing. American MNCs move manufacturing where wages are cents on the dollar. They then are allowed full tariff free access to the largest consumer market in the world, the USA. That is the foundation of this so called globalized economy.

So, it has to be reversed. For the only way America can employ the max number of her own people is by allowing them once again to make what they consume. If you do not do that, then the middle class created when we allowed that will wither away and we will have a few very rich people at the top, a sliver of a middle class with most being working poor.

Making what we consume, and then using Ford's idea of paying the people enough to buy what they are making is the key. And it is the only model that will sustain our middle class and allow working people prosperity. It ain't rocket science, but it might as well be, for no one seems to understand the basics here on americans having living wage jobs and enough of them so we do not have half the work force on welfare. We cannot pay that amount of welfare that would be needed. So eventually globalization implodes a nation like America.
