In a country where economic indicators do not grow, an increase in income of the majority of large American companies is given by a factor not tabulated but very real: stolen from others.
In a healthy and growing Economy, an increase in revenues is mainly due to an increase in production, productivity, sales, exports, or the overall demand for goods and services. Since this is not the present case of United States, the change more important perceived in the country is an increase in consumer prices and taxes.
Basic services like power and water are increased frequently. Surcharges for alleged arrears on mortgages and credit cards comprise the most extraordinary revenue of these companies. The law firms swarm everywhere doing a party with despair of the public. Insurance companies cancelling and imposing prices on policies at will.
Because of all this, the public insists on making telephone calls to those companies. In many cases they fails because automated systems are configured so that the consumer not achieve its objective. When finally the company is contacted, the phone call, if not hanged, is transferred to multiple extensions until you "see" the appropriate employee since the first served, did it in another country.
If we do not take urgent measures to allow United States recover its domestic manufacturing path and reduce the deficit in its trade balance increasing national exports, a catastrophical crisis could whip to the country and topple the dollar as a global currency sign.
Measures should be taken on an emergency basis without waiting for the creation of parliamentary committees or bright political dissertations.
