Into each life some rain must fall. It's part of the price we pay for greater selection and more competition. But we often get it back in the form of lower prices and greater selection. But yes, at the expense of some jobs.

The only one I can think of off of the top of my head is Learned hardware, but I'm sure there are others. If I needed a nut, bolt or washer, they were the place to go. If I needed to make a large purchase, I'd head out to Home Depot. Many others did the same I presume.

I guess that's what being a progressive is all about.

I guess I am, unlike you guys that's why I don't want Santa Barbara to be like LA or SF.

Guess where most of the horrendous traffic comes from getting off on the Storke off-ramp and getting on again? You guessed it, they're all coming from SB to shop at Costco and Home Depot. You can get almost everything sold in Costco and Home Depot somewhere in SB, but never at the same price.

Your redistributionist, socialist model doesn't work Dan. It failed in the past, it's failing now in Europe, and you want us to adopt the same model? The only reason our economy has performed better than Europe's is because we haven't completely adopted their model yet. Of course, the BRIC countries have far outperformed us because their systems are much less like Europe's than ours is.

Good to know that Dan isn't a "partisan class weenie". All this while he trumps the benefits of "social democracy". How's that working for them? Even Germany is caving under the pressure of it's own government bureaucracy.

Ken, you probably don't know this, but most working people have the ability to change their withholding of federal income taxes by completing a w-4 form, thereby eliminated giving the government a free loan.
No scorn for working people Dan. It's just a fact you can't give federal income tax relief to people that don't pay any.

China has already improved it's quality somewhat and they will continue to do so. In the 60's and early 70's, Japanese cars, cameras and watches were considered nothing but a bad joke. No one is laughing now.
