OT: "I think we have two very big economic problems, jobs being outsourced to other nations and cheap goods flooding in from China. The outcome of the next presedential election could very well determine our economic situation for along time to come."
Frankly, I don't see how the next elected President, whomever that may be, will have significant impact re the two "very big economic problems" you state.
IMHO, rather than problems, I think these two issues are macro economic trends based on a shift towards more free trade over the past several decades.
BTW, some of those "cheap goods flooding in from China" may be built by folks with jobs outsourced from other nations . . . and the goods may have an Apple logo on them. : )
