PRESIDENT OBAMA SPEAKS IN LOS ANGELES and THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA is MORE THAN 12 %

I'm wondering if McDONALD'S the fast food burger restaurant announced that they were hiring on the EXACT SAME DAY as OBAMA'S VISIT did that to give evidence to a "recovery." President Obama was in Los Angeles for the afternoon two days ago, on Thursday the 21st of April, 2011.

A friend of ours tells us that 3000 people showed up at a Glendale California McDonald's to apply, some getting there the night before to apply!

The UNEMPLOYMENT LINES of the GREAT DEPRESSION are with us!

GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN? NO IRS? NO SSDI?

The news reports are dire, and some people are saying that this means NO IRS or SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS, others say THEY WILL PRINT MORE MONEY! Meanwhile there are those who are trying to change their retirement accounts so they are based on old fashioned GOLD. What do you think will happen?

SANITARY SUPPLIES ? BUY KOTEX BEFORE YOU BUY CHINESE SMARTSENSE

Today I went to my local Kmart to find panty liners. OK, let's not get offended here that I'm talking about SANITARY SUPPLIES! WOMEN NEED THESE!

I decided to look at the boxes and see where the manufacturing is done. HERE IS A SITUATION WHERE FOR A COUPLE DOLLARS YOU CAN AFFORD TO SUPPORT AMERICAN JOBS!

First, the Smartsense (the budget brand being sold by Kmart) was 64 for $2.99 MADE IN CHINA

Second, the Carefree was 56 for $3.99 MADE IN CANADA

Third, KOTEX, was 80 for $6.29 MADE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Without knowing for sure, I imagine that the QUALITY of the product makes a difference, but my experience with generic brands in general is that they vary considerably. I also saw that though the temptation is to price per pad, the manufactures box in different quantities making it necessary to use your math (or your calculator) to price.
