There seems to be so much confusion about the economy. Well lets look at some things. Why is the economy as bad as it is? It really doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out.
America is in the worse condition of any industrialized country.
We have no health care system, over seventy-five percent of its’ citizens have no health insurance coverage.
Automobile companies are going under, because they refused to down-size automobiles to save gas, and the environment.
I can’t buy a pair of underwear thats made in America.
Every thing has been out sourced to China. Major companies are allowing companies in China to use shoddy materials, but still charge extravagant prices here in the US.
I was watching the news one evening last winter, and a young Chinese man was upset with Americans, because they weren’t buying enough shower curtains, so he had to move back to the country side with his family, because the plant he worked in, closed. All I could think of, ‘he’s got a lot of nerve’. I have a shower curtain that was made in China,and the word bastard is written all over it, but disguised, you have to pay close attention.
Nothing they do to products that are shipped to the US is acidental, It is don on purpose, because they don’t care about us. This is what americans need to start realizing, and take their destiny into their own hands.
If you have to give a little more for American made goods, so what, the quality is better.
Why use products made from recycled rubber?
1: Products made from recycled rubber are resilient, cost effective to other materials.2
tire recycling keeps 200 million discarded tires out of US landfills and promotes the greening of America.
3. Made under the red white and blue. Recycling is more than dropping off cans, bottles, and newspapers at the nearest recycling center. Diverting recyclables from the waste system is the first of three steps in the recycling process. The second step occurs when companies use these recyclables to manufacture new products. The third step occurs when the consumer purchases the products from the recovered materials.
Buying recycled products supports local recycling programs, creates new jobs,helps strenghten the economy, conserves natural resources, saves energy, and reduces solid waste, air, and water pollutants, and greenhouse gases.
Passchal bags are made from tractor inner tubes
that are collected from tire centers in Virginia, Ohio and Georgia.
The markings on inner tubes are so vast in their design that no two bags are alike.
All leathers used are by-products, vegetable dyed and chrome free.
Bags have an interior LED light that shuts off automatically.
Tire dumps provide excellent breeding grounds for mosquitoes, and elevated incidents of mosquito-borne diseases have been noted near large tire piles.
Tire pile fires have been an even greater environmental problem. Tire pile fires can burn for months, sending up an acrid black plume that can be seen for dozens of miles. That plume contains toxic chemicals and air pollutants, just as toxic chemicals are released into surrounding water supplies by oily runoff from tire fires. Fighting a tire pile fire is not only futile in some cases, it can actually make the pollution problem worse.
Tires are often tied together and tossed in the ocean not as waste, but to create artificial reefs as habitat for game fish for recreational anglers. Hurricane Bonnie tore up one such reef in 1998 and scattered the remains on beach at Pine Knoll Shores, NC. (Philadelphia Inquirer August 29, 1998)
Scrap tires were commonly recycled until the 1960s, when cheap foreign oil and difficulty shredding steel-belted tires shifted the short-term economic benefits squarely on the side of tire disposal.

Outline argument premises and conclusions for Clean Needles Benefit Society and Programs Don?t Make Sense?
CLEAN NEEDLES BENEFIT SOCIETY
USA Today
Our view: Needle exchanges prove effective as AIDS counterattack.
They warrant wider use and federal backing.
Nothing gets knees jerking and fingers wagging like free needle-exchange
programs. But strong evidence is emerging that they’re working.
The 37 cities trying needle exchanges are accumulating impressive
data that they are an effective tool against spread of an epidemic now in its
13th year.
• In Hartford, Conn., demand for needles has quadrupled expectations—
32,000 in nine months. And free needles hit a targeted
population: 55% of used needles show traces of AIDS virus.
• In San Francisco, almost half the addicts opt for clean needles.
• In New Haven, new HIV infections are down 33% for addicts in
exchanges.
Promising evidence. And what of fears that needle exchanges increase
addiction? The National Commission on AIDS found no evidence. Neither
do new studies in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Logic and research tell us no one’s saying, “Hey, they’re giving away
free, clean hypodermic needles! I think I’ll become a drug addict!”
Get real. Needle exchange is a soundly based counterattack against an
epidemic. As the federal Centers for Disease Control puts it, “Removing
contaminated syringes from circulation is analogous to removing mosquitoes.”
Addicts know shared needles are HIV transmitters. Evidence shows
drug users will seek out clean needles to cut chances of almost certain
death from AIDS.
Needle exchanges neither cure addiction nor cave in to the drug
scourge. They’re a sound, effective line of defense in a population at high
risk. (Some 28% of AIDS cases are IV drug users.) And AIDS treatment costs
taxpayers far more than the price of a few needles.
It’s time for policymakers to disperse the fog of rhetoric, hyperbole and
scare tactics and widen the program to attract more of the nation’s 1.2 million
IV drug users.
PROGRAMS DON’T MAKE SENSE
Peter B. Gemma Jr.
Opposing view: It’s just plain stupid for government to sponsor dangerous,
illegal behavior.
If the Clinton administration initiated a program that offered free tires to
drivers who habitually and dangerously broke speed limits—to help them
avoid fatal accidents from blowouts—taxpayers would be furious. Spending
government money to distribute free needles to junkies, in an attempt to
help them avoid HIV infections, is an equally volatile and stupid policy.
It’s wrong to attempt to ease one crisis by reinforcing another.
It’s wrong to tolerate a contradictory policy that spends people’s hardearned
money to facilitate deviant behavior.
And it’s wrong to try to save drug abusers from HIV infection by perpetuating
their pain and suffering.
Taxpayers expect higher health-care standards from President Clinton’s
public-policy “experts.”
Inconclusive data on experimental needle-distribution programs is no
excuse to weaken federal substance-abuse laws. No government bureaucrat
can refute the fact that fresh, free needles make it easier to inject illegal
drugs because their use results in less pain and scarring.
Underwriting dangerous, criminal behavior is illogical: If you subsidize
something, you’ll get more of it. In a Hartford, Conn., needle-distribution
program, for example, drug addicts are demanding taxpayer-funded needles
at four times the expected rate. Although there may not yet be evidence of
increased substance abuse, there is obviously no incentive in such schemes
to help drug-addiction victims get cured.
Inconsistency and incompetence will undermine the public’s confidence
in government health-care initiatives regarding drug abuse and the
AIDS epidemic. The Clinton administration proposal of giving away needles
hurts far more people than [it is] intended to help.
