Um! Pak! Tok! Tugush! Ka-blog!

excerpts from Ninong Lilit’s very helpful blog entry:

“If you think U.S. is too far for its economic ripples to reach our shores, then, you’ve forgotten how dependent we are on exports and human resources relying on first-world markets, which sends dollars to our land.

Our economy has to rely on ourselves. Our trading partners have slowed down. We can only spend domestically, to at least keep our national figures from reaching way below zero growth.”
