Hmmm -- And We Wonder Why????

John Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock
(MADE IN JAPAN )
for 6 am .. 
While his coffeepot 
(MADE IN CHINA) 
was perking, he shaved with his 
electric razor 
(MADE IN HONG KONG) 
He put on a 
dress shirt 
(MADE IN SRI LANKA), 
designer jeans 
(MADE IN SINGAPORE) 
and 
tennis shoes 
(MADE IN KOREA) 
After cooking his breakfast in his new 
electric skillet 
(MADE IN INDIA) 
he sat down with his 
calculator 
(MADE IN MEXICO) 
to see how much he could spend today. After setting his
watch 
(MADE IN TAIWAN ) 
to the radio 
(MADE IN INDIA ) 
he got in his car 
(MADE IN GERMANY ) 
filled it with GAS 
(from Saudi Arabia ) 
and continued his search
for a good paying AMERICAN JOB. 
At the end of yet another discouraging 
and fruitless day 
checking his 
Computer 
( made in MALAYSIA ), 
John decided to relax for a while. 
He put on his sandals 
(MADE IN BRAZIL ), 
poured himself a glass of
wine 
(MADE IN FRANCE ) 
and turned on his
TV 
(MADE IN INDONESIA ), 
and then wondered why he can't 
find a good paying job 
in AMERICA

    Great post Sylvia.
    I m just wondering where all this is leading...
    Seems there is not solution.
    All consumer goods are made in Asia and expected to be consumed by the jobless and moneyless western population.
    Have a great day.

    ...maybe learn some technology/ skills so he could become game tester/desginer/website monitor or global goods vendor? Just saying, jobs can be created in US, if one knows how. Thanks for sharing.
