The Chamber of Commerce perceives outsourcing and “free trade” as great things for our economy. After all, they're the ones representing the so called “American” multinational corporations that are making billions of dollars from our “free trade” agreements. ]]> http://economyincrisis.org/content/harmful-free-trade-agreements-preventing-economic-recovery/feed 0 http://economyincrisis.org/content/washington-signals-dollar-deep-concerns http://economyincrisis.org/content/washington-signals-dollar-deep-concerns#comments Thu, 23 May 2013 10:00:27 +0000 Paul Craig Roberts http://economyincrisis.org/?p=23124 http://economyincrisis.org/content/washington-signals-dollar-deep-concerns/feed 1 http://economyincrisis.org/content/congress-talks-about-protecting-the-boarders-does-nothing-to-protect-american-jobs http://economyincrisis.org/content/congress-talks-about-protecting-the-boarders-does-nothing-to-protect-american-jobs#comments Thu, 23 May 2013 10:00:14 +0000 Peter Crawford http://economyincrisis.org/?p=23126 By Peter Crawford May 23, 2013

In the 1950s, 30 percent of the American workforce was employed in manufacturing—almost one in three jobs. This country was a manufacturing superpower, and we were the world’s richest and most productive country. By 1994, approximately one in eight jobs were in manufacturing.]]> http://economyincrisis.org/content/americas-legacy-a-fools-paradise/feed 0 http://economyincrisis.org/content/health-of-our-economy http://economyincrisis.org/content/health-of-our-economy#comments Wed, 22 May 2013 10:00:19 +0000 Economy In Crisis http://economyincrisis.org/?p=7477 ]]> http://economyincrisis.org/content/health-of-our-economy/feed 0 http://economyincrisis.org/content/5-things-america-must-do-to-fix-the-economy http://economyincrisis.org/content/5-things-america-must-do-to-fix-the-economy#comments Tue, 21 May 2013 10:00:53 +0000 Benjamin Clement http://economyincrisis.org/?p=19125 By Benjamin Clement January 14, 2013
The first thing we must do as a nation is withdraw from all organizations that would not allow the United States to put its own best interest first. The World Trade Organization needs to be the first on the chopping block.

Our government officials need to address our deteriorating industrial base and there must be a strategy in place that would spur job creation. “Free trade” agreements and outsourcing have all but decimated our manufacturing base. We no longer produce the goods that the U.S. needs in order to sustain itself. ]]> http://economyincrisis.org/content/economic-reform-americas-answer-to-deteriorating-industrial-base-and-currency-devaluation/feed 0 http://economyincrisis.org/content/wto-targets-u-s-country-of-origin-labeling-laws-in-attack-on-u-s-consumers http://economyincrisis.org/content/wto-targets-u-s-country-of-origin-labeling-laws-in-attack-on-u-s-consumers#comments Tue, 21 May 2013 10:00:35 +0000 Margaret Elkis http://economyincrisis.org/?p=23020 By Margaret Elkis May 21, 2013
