NEW DELHI, India (CNN) -- Praising India's expanding economy, President Bush warned Friday that fears about job outsourcing to other nations should not prompt the United States to limit global trade. "It's ... important to remember that when someone loses a job it's an incredibly difficult period for the worker and their families," Bush said in a speech in New Delhi. "It's true that some Americans have lost jobs when their companies move their operations overseas," he said. "Some people believe the answer to this problem is to wall off our economy from the world through protectionist policies. I strongly disagree."

No. But why to invest time and money in mastering engineering skills if you do not have good career perspectives? Looks like managing is more lucrative than producing.
I won't ask you to trust me, but US companies have become so overladen in the "manager to producer" level that an engineering degree is a great thing to have, IMHO. Unfortunately, the producers now have a couple managers standing around expecting results........
Stop hijacking the thread and posting whatever you damn feel like!
My original reply, which you gloomed onto, was to a poster who said that the Kennedys and the Bushes have NEVER done any "real work". Whilst that be true of some of the Kennedys, it isn't of the Bush family.
Manual labor isn't the only kind of work there is. Neither is no need for any real skill/intelligence jobs worth big bucks.
?
You posted to me, I replied. Get Screwed.
If I was doing that, I would have done Belushi's, "Was it over when the Germans attacked Pearl Harbor" speech in Animal House. :)
Common granny, keep slapping that abuse button....
First drink this:
Then insult opponents by accusing them of never having studied this: (which you've never studied yourself)
If that doesn'twork claim to be a university professor:
And if that doesn't work, claim to have worked in the industry:
Knock it off.
Knock it off.
He has yet to reply to me, unless that is also your nic.
You barged in, replied, irrelevantly, to my reply to him.
Granted. We have the lowest unemployment rate "now". I don't hang my hat on "now". How's Germany and France doing? They already went to the globalist model of employment.
George really feels our pain having worked his way up. I don't know why I voted for this guy.
Not really, you are just going off topic. Unemployment rate has little to do with globalization and more to do with domestic policies that are against the welfare state (such as smaller unemployment insurance, health insurance tied to employers). It doesn't prove anything about globalization, low unemployment rate doesn't show that globalization has been good for the US. The debate continues.
Actually Germany and France have more restrictive labor laws than the US. It's almost impossible to fire or layoff an employee there and look they have double digit unemployment.
You are the one promoting the German and French model.
Co-sign.
Although I would add the Kerrys, Liebermans, and Kudlows to that list.
Oh? Links to supporting evidence and to the description of methodologies used to compile data? (FYI: It's random "scientific" telephone surveys in the US!)
Would you explain what "REAL WORK" is?
Do you mean I'm supporting it by being against outsourcing?
