We need to push technical educations to the youth of this country.

Why would I do that? My step-son just finished high-school, he had been considering an engineering degree. No more.

Why would I push him into a career path of low pay, unemployment, out-sourcing....

He is now considering becoming a pharmisist.

Good post. You can't 'out-educate' a country that pays it's workers 20-50 cents and hour. Our companies can't compete with that.

What we can do is try to make it easier for US companies to succeed. Tort reform and de-regulation are good places to start. I loath protectionism. However, if China is part of the WTO, the WTO should enforce basic human rights regulations on China.
