Does the media have you worrying about the economy? Now they’ve got some running and worrying about their health! Chill, Malaria is 100 times more likely to become a pandemic than the swine flu. Don’t believe the hype. Here’s an interesting article to counteract the hype of our “bad” economy:
Welcome to one of the destructive side effects of the "woe is me" times we live in: Along with the legitimate and serious problems that face our economy, we seem to have convinced ourselves that we're powerless to do much about the downturn because we've already become a second-rate economic power.
In fact, as I told my wife, the U.S. is still the world's leading manufacturer and in most of the world, "Made in the USA" is still synonymous with quality and high value.
Even in the midst of a global recession, the U.S. exported an estimated $1.377 trillion worth of goods last year, according to the authoritative CIA World Factbook. Nearly half of the exports were capital goods such as aircraft, computers, electric power machinery, office machines and telecommunications equipment.
