MSNBC ^ | January 15, 2004 | Lou Dobbs

[ETERNAL WARMING]

DOBBS: Hundreds of thousands of jobs being exported overseas to cheap labor markets and a record high trade deficit causing many Americans to fight back. They are part of what is a growing movement to support companies that keep their goods and services made in America.

I would like to suggest that they change their name because people are turned off by people who are Mad (angry, livid, etc). Otherwise, count me in.

Can't wait to see the documentary!

Me too. The video clips were wonderful! It looked like it was very well done.

"I'd like to know how we expect our kids to pay $100,000 on college, only to graduate and compete globally with people making $10 per hour. The math doesn't add up. Our kids will have to go college in India, which only puts more Americans out of work and further depresses wages."

"Outsourcing gives The Hartford greater flexibility to quickly take on new projects, access diverse skills and better control costs. It also enables our employees to use their skills for more strategic projects."

Like finding a new job after we downsize their asses.

And California college tuition is going to be raised dramatically next school year.

Easy. You don't go to college. College will be for the children of CEOs. Wal-Mart for the rest of us. Welcome to Brazil.

I can feel my stomach clench everytime I hear them speaking Spanish to each other, still brown from the sun, and HERE, in No. VA where they have taken over the building trades, lawn care, cleaning services. The H-1B's have taken over the programming and engineering jobs unless you have a current clearance.

I have got to move somewhere (where?) where I won't hear them or see them. I'm beginning to feel that I could do more than tell them to go home.

I am so disgusted seeing more and more foreigners.

Hi JP, thanks for the ping.

This issue is one the worries me greatly. It seems to me that this country doesn't make anything but money and weapons anymore.

I have not been able to find a pair of gloves that was made in America.

I'd really like to buy American. Can anyone give me any info on retailers that sell only American made products? Maybe there are no such retailers, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

[Elliott Jackalope]

I've looked into that idea. One problem. There is precious little that is made here in America any longer. If you were to start a "Made In America" store, your shelves would not have many goods on them.

This is a problem that is rapidly approaching a crisis point. I am very concerned about the future of this country if we continue on this path.

A neighbor bought a Civil War mug made in China. And remember the berets for our military made in China? I was looking for snow boots and the only pair I could find was made in China.

What is happening to Dobbs? It is too bad he was fired by CNN.
