You know, making me click to 12 pages to read a single story is really lame

If you want to get the country back on its feet,you have to start at the top.We don't need another president, We need a leader. someone not affliated with dems or reps. someone who is not influenced by lobbyists. someone who will stand up for the american people . When that happens the rest will fall in place, and we can go back to being the great nation we once were.

We not only have a landline, but it's also our primary phone service. We are required by our ISP to have a traditional phone line in order to get DSL internet service. And, in our small town, our only internet options are DSL or dial-up. No point in my husband and I having a combined cell phone bill of $80/month or more when we can just use the home phone for less than $40/month. We do have some cheap pre-paid cell phones for emergencies and occasional texting, though. But, we only use about 30-40 minutes each month. So, it just doesn't make financial sense at all for us to have regular cell phone service.

We need a free trade agreement with China to balance our trade and make a level playing field, NAFTA has worked so good for the USA. (wink)

None of these industries have to fade away, the ball is in our hands. Choose which products you buy and make a difference.

This is very discouraging when our only choices are clothes made in China.  They are crap and they do not know how to sew on buttons and zippers.  Clothes made in USA are much superior in quality and workmanship.  Its a shame it has come to this.

hopefully we can go digital with our government and get rid of our crook politicians

How many people do you know who still have a land line? As of 2010, 25% of U.S. households had only cellphones, and that number is expected to grow.

Love the way they make it sound like you're a dinosaur if you have a land like and then say that most people still have them.

So ... about 75% of the people I know, approximately? Actually, since I'm over forty, it's more like 90% of the people I call regularly. I'll lose the land line when mobile coverage is consistent enough that my calls don't get dropped randomly in the middle of conversations. I still prefer talking on the land line when I'm at home. It's also nice to have a number to give when I order or buy something, so my cell phone won't be bugging me with "solicitation" calls when I'm out and about.

Some of these industries are doomed to go extinct. However, any job that can be done by an American worker SHOULD be done by American workers, not exported overseas. Pay them union wages, and mark up the cost of the product. We don't need 18 pairs of jeans, anyway. One or two will do fine. We're spoiled by cheap products and it's ruining our economy!
