Dont worry, Im sure the free traitors will show up on this thread soon and explain how this is actually a GOOD thing, probably using a buggy-whip maker analogy. Or maybe the ice delivery man vs. refrigerators (false) analogy. And don't forget the ever-popular bromides (slaps-in-the-face):
1. Start your own business (with no money)
2. Relocate to where the work is (where is that, India?)
3. Get a job, any job (just throw away everything you ever learned or worked to have)
4. If they can't adapt, screw 'em (i.e., let them eat cake)

See how easy it is to view things from the black-and-white free trade mantra point of view (especially if you are not the one hit...yet)?

Don't forget

#6. I save a couple of cents on the dollar screwing my fellow Americans

or

#7 MY job depends on screwing fellow Americans out of their jobs

Or

#8 The're not YOUR jobs ... they belong to the company (all the while neglecting to acknowledge whose tax money went into building the roads and other infrastructure which enable that the company to function and whose blood was given in protection of their free traitor a$$es

Yes Benedick ... they are OUR jobs (spelling on purpose)

Not always good, but not always bad either

(Sometimes it takes a slap in the face to wake someone up to reality) How about some real life experiences:

1. Start your own business (with no money)

I've started my own business three times with no money (OK, once I sold my motorcycle for $5000 seed money) and , yes, once I failed and had to start over from zero.

2. Relocate to where the work is (where is that, India?)

Relocating is a sound strategy. My Father packed up the family and moved from Vermont to California when I was ten years old because the jobs dried up in our home state. I have relocated to a different state three times in the last thirty five years looking for work.

3. Get a job, any job (just throw away everything you ever learned or worked to have)

On the way from Vermont to California in 1959, we ran out of money in Casa Grande Arizona. My Dad, a printer by trade, took a job digging irrigation ditches in Eloy in July and my mom waitressed in a cafe to make enough money to get us the rest of the way to California. When I lost my job as a retail manager I took a job as a janitor to put groceries on the table. You do what you have to.

4. If they can't adapt, screw 'em (i.e., let them eat cake)

If it weren't for the socialist safety net, unemployment benefits that allow one to sit on his ass, literally for years, the traditional choices are: move, adapt or die. Crying in your beer is not an option.

See how simple it is and how many options there are when you take personal responsibility for your situation?

Here, have some cheese.

Is this John Kerry? I've never seen such a weak argument for claiming they are "OUR jobs" than this one.

The companies have paid far more than their share into building the roads and infrastructure.

And even if they didn't this is still a lame argument, since the companies can move to regions where there are just as many roads and infrastructure whenever they want to.

"If you do not have the particular set of job skills that an employer needs, or if you have priced your labor out of the marketplace, guess what? It's not the employer's fault. The fault lies with you. Either develop a new set of job skills that are actually in demand, or adjust your pricing. The employer knows what he's looking for. If you're not it .. it's your problem, not his."
