This is what happens when the free market becomes entangled with the violent force of government. The incentive to produce is removed in favor of theft.

Quote:"They are so close in the rankings, that it would be probably better to define them as a leading trio," said Stephane Garelli, professor at the Lausanne, Switzerland-based IMD business school, publisher of the World Competitiveness Yearbook.

Despite high unemployment and debt, and continued market instability, the United States was better placed than European nations and others to attract new investments and help companies grow.

"The U.S. has weathered the risk of the financial and economic crises thanks to the sheer size of its economy, a stronger leadership in business and an unmatched supremacy in technology," Garelli said.

I honestly wouldn't mind working on contract in Singapore for a little while. I hear it's a pretty nice place.

It is a shame that we would even consider going anywhere else in the world to work but the USA. It is a sad commentary on the America we now have.

I grew up in a family that has worked outside of the US and I understand the value of picking up and taking a six-month contract somewhere. It's an extended vacation.
