What are you really saying?

I got the curry lunch the other day.





Hmmm....

The Chinese are taking all of our industry because Americans think they all have a constitutional right to a cozy office job?

And that the Chinese word for "Cherry" is "Ying tao". Which is good to know, because in a couple decades or less, it may become necessary for us to learn Chinese.

Simple fix, devalue the dollar (if the Chinese can do why can't we?) then exports rise imports fall and also close the borders to Chinese products, that will also fix wallyworld.

no wally?

but then many would no longer be able to be part of the excessive consumption society we have become

my goodness, we'd have to save and only buy things we needed instead of wanted, you don't want that do you?

Heard a story the other day about Arizona public schools offering chinese as a second language.

Exactly, I have posted this before but I have fought with the school board to offer Mandarin as a second language, instead my daughter has to take Spanish!
Sorry if this offends some but shouldn't the Spanish speaking be learning English?
And we are mandated by the state to take a second language!
I would think an extra science course would be more beneficial than Spanish.
