assembly test in order for a film and new product introduction functions will remain in grass valley the company said any prepared statement it's not clear how the proposal will affect the local labor force which numbers about one hundred twenty workers and regions chief executive affected but that's a peer yes miranda has been hurt by the foreign exchange losses restructuring charge and higher expenses sending its shares down nine percent fisher said in a press release however the prop caster called one maker is beginning to see an increase in sales activity they noted while we believe that the broadcast equipment market has bottomed the timing of a recovery remains uncertain miranda chief executive stressed good ship said in a prepared statement we are beginning to see momentum built in in international markets particularly western europe official said mathew estimated nevada county has about four hundred to five hundred electronic assembly jobs it is a relatively small percentage of the overall workforce the move to consolidate envisions assembly manufacturing operations is just one more of those little nails in the coffin matthews said all those things add up the economic research council has struggled in recent years to recruit and retain employees and the issue will remain fodder for an ongoing debate we made a dramatic turn to leave retention and go to attraction two years ago we said but what do we do to help companies stay here the answer is sales but how does e r c change sales we can create a trained workforce to provide affordable housing but we can't create sales matthew said you could make it so attractive here they won't leave but who's going to pay that bill and vision founded in one thousand nine hundred nine is one of more than a dozen companies in western nevada county that have their roots in the video broadcast equipment manufacture originally known as grass valley group and vision makes routing switches for high quality audio and video productions in december two thousand and miranda bought the company for forty million are trying to decide what to do it's our future here's a list of questions for president obama why do we bail out auto makers who wouldn't make an electric car why do we say no to legalize a harmless plant and tax net to help the revenues of the country why do we inject billions into banks that raise the bar so high on loans no one qualifies when we get bonuses to employees with our money and start small businesses whose main street bailout why didn't every citizen some type of monetary boost why are we complaining our grandchildren will inherit huge debt they aren't going to pay it any more than we do and what's wrong with universal money system who cares who e picture is on a piece of paper and if the government creates these new expansion of government jobs how do we get rid of these temporary jobs when we recover why do we allow crooked politicians and lobbyists to control our country and why do we keep using fossil fuels as a leader of the world when we know we can quit using them for cleaner energies like what the venus project we just for president obama why didn't you put money into the economy was the stimulus directly to the consumers so we could spend it back into businesses and help our economy instead the monies went to the banks wall street and auto conglomerates who stuffed their pockets and still lay off workers and choke our recovery why are we not on the fair tax system and stop all this illegal taxation by the i r s anyone with money knows how to avoid taxes through loopholes so give us a tax that everyone would pay these questions do not approach the main ingredient to what brought our society to this point mostly it's just capitalism with a lot of greed and all of us allowed to greed to unbalance the entire program listening to this rant you might think it's a typical right wing or spot out but no it's not right or left they both corrupt the middle until we start to wean off the monetary system into a resource system we will not fix anything in fact if we continue on the road we are on the nucular holo will happen you can't take to korea china iran pakistan india israel cuba venezuela and russia are not all in situations that sooner or later someone will get control that has no control and then the dominoes will begin to fall you also can't think that in the us borders are safe from bombings suicides or terror attacks from enemies of our belief system we better wake up and secure our borders and start to try to be fiscally responsible in our own country we need to restructure the way our congress and senate conduct business we need to outlaw the lobbyist and perks that cause the greed that corrupt what our country stands for but maybe we are so corrupt that we can't fix it maybe we are the great satan that some cultures seem to think we are but maybe we are the only light that can lead humanity into the future with peace and freedom for all if we don't change our ways we are doomed forever are some other questions to ponder why do banks charge twenty to thirty dollars for overdraft in your bank account when all they really do is suggest a number in a computer this is billions of dollars yearly gambling income from us to them why isn't our money back by the same amount of gold as its value like it used to be so we don't get runaway inflation why does the government borrow money from the privately owned federal reserve who then charges immediate interest on this money when the government could print its own money and not pay this giant interest debt in fact an easier question why does a federal reserve even exist why does the internal revenue exist if the i r s was holes part of our income and then later pays part of it back to us aren't we considered government employees don't we work for them if we are the government then we are stealing from ourselves if we are the government then why do we send the lowest i q people there to work if we are the government then why don't they listen to anything we say why don't we draft to senators congressmen wall street bankers and automobile executives in

says jobs are likely to remain scarce for some time keeping households cautious about their spendings as the recovery becomes established however payrolls should begin to grow again at a pace that
