But, manufacturing is also moving overseas because Asians will do the hard work of getting college degrees in the sciences. They then are in a position to manage their own labor. Meanwhile, back in the homeland, fat ass Americans take easier ways out and seek degrees in the liberal arts where incompetents can't easily get caught. They are shaking down the remaining Americans who do produce real goods.

Looks like ignorance among the CATO-ites is running amok. Note, they always believe in a free (no matter how phony the actual game rigging is) market ... but then decry the results of the rigging when it finally becomes apparent to them that something isn't right. Must be those lazy no-good students, for instance. As if 'Free Choice' and the educational 'free market' are not being used there...and individually rational decisions ( no matter how nationally disappointing) being made.

If these bozos want to encourage excellence, it is time to demolish the rules of the 'market' that discourage americans and promote foreign students. Which, would mean restoring High Technology and Heavy Industry back to the shores of the US so that they could hire all the math and science grads we would want to have. This guy appears ignorant of how we have already lost 800,000 aerospace engineers in the last 14 years. They were laid off, fired, etc. And no Americans practically were hired. That is also a true depiction of what happened in Electronics...and how the U.S. in one generation went from the greatest R&D engine ever seen, to something bordering on third-rate in many cases.

I have come to the conclusion that CATO-ites are not Americans at all. Not in spirit.

As a poster said earlier - just look how great Allentown, PA is doing after 30 years - moving from a huge, powerhouse, engine which shook the world, to shuffling around Chinese toasters.
