A women was on Colbert whose company made marbles. China can make AND ship marbles to the US for 21 Cents per lb. The women said the electric cost ALONE to make a lb of marbles in the US was 20 cents. This problem ...is about competing with developing countries whose cost is a 1/10 of your own. It can't be done.

Excellent point. But this is what happened when members of both parties steamrolled NAFTA and "free trade" though 20 years ago, then granted "Most Favored Nation" trade status to slave-labor giant, China.

American industry and factories and our very economy has been sold out by our own treasonous Elite politicians.

Combine the loss of millions of low-skill factory jobs near US cities along with urban Dem Welfare Plantations, and you have a recipe for disaster.

UPMC Hospital( a world class facility) in Pittsburgh just inked a deal with China and gave them a ton of proprietary information...and then on another thread it talked about doctors in other countries will be able to do operations via robotics on a patient in another country within a decade...

I'm in the health insurance biz. Large carriers are already working on plans to send patients enmass to India for treatment..and it is already being done. Some Fortune 500 firms are already doing it. A hip transplant in the US is 28K while in India it 5K.

No sector of American society is safe unless you are a plumber or electrician...something that cannot be outsourced.

Boho. For years I worked hard to maintain a income, all the while the value of the dollar went down. At the same time the dollar was being devalued you let a bunch of criminals ie. illegal aliens come into the country and compete against me with out the restrictions I had. Some how I am suppose to feel sorry that a bunch of government employees are losing their jobs.

The paper work alone made my income decrease buy a significant amount just to comply. Every time I worked with the government it seemed like they lost the documents and it cost me more. Screw these incompetent morons. Good riddance. This seems like the best way to clear out a bunch of dead weight in our government
