Listen!!
All you people that keep complaining that we are losing jobs because of our sorry education is just plain wrong.

American workers are the smartest and most productive of any workers in the world and that is a proven fact.

We are losing jobs because corporations are going after cheap labor. Hard to compete with an 88 cent per hour job in china no matter what your education level maybe.

I'm not totally discounting our education problems as I know we have them. However everything I have seen why we are losing higher paid jobs just has to do with corporations wanting cheap labor. US corporations that are home grown have no allegiance to the US workers or the US in any way.

It all comes down to the bottom line... profit.

"US corporations that are home grown have no allegiance to the US workers or the US in any way. "

And the free marketeers will tell you that's a good thing!
Bring up patriotism, or Christian values, and they will tell you you're behaving like a lib.

Odd, very odd.

Because to the American consumer, the bottom line is a cheaper product.

WE HAVE A WINNER!! Exactly right. Coporations are putting profit before every thing else, country included.

This is silly: the fact that hiring is done elsewhere proves the opposite.

Why is this hard, and why is this happening now, then? Chinese labor has always been there. American companies have always been guided by knowledgeable people, so they couldn't have missed that fact. Why is increase in outsourcing now?
