Probably since Mr. Reagan stopped training GE employees and took the highest paid acting job in the country. Although that's really just when the froth bubbled over. My feeling is that the Irish would be happier in Ireland. I've been there and it's beautiful. They should stay away from us stupid Americans.<br />We don't have any idea what's good for us anymore.johnmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05914025685261104255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690481404661891565.post-32883300138782920702011-03-23T13:13:17.448-07:002011-03-23T13:13:17.448-07:00Well said Larry.

So many jobs lost, so many people in arrears. I know people who don't even have a few quid for milk or bread on a Weds. And to be honest I wouldn't bring my kids back to America, because I do not see a future there either. We will be more likely to move to England this summer as I was involved in meat processing. To top it all off our jobs were replaced by foreign workers (Brazilians & Eastern Europeans) who will work for next to nothing. The Irish got greedy during the good times but now they don't have a clue how to fix it. All you hear is empty promises, and the biggest problem that I can't understand,is why the Irish just lie down and take it. Matt Bergin, Co. LaoisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
