when that Berlin Wall came down, and all the liberals talked about slashig the defense budget, I was on ALL the talk shows screaming about how it was going to bankrupt the state! I was right.

CT is bankrupt? Thats news to me.

And it is not the governments job to spend money to provide you with a job.

Nice of you to change the subject.

The point is, there was NO major manufacturer because we all built up defense industries and companies that did civilian work were outsourced to Korea or Japan, like Naugatuck Rubber that made the rubber for Convese sneakers back in the early 70's, now overseas..

Now that all that is gone, the small shops are closing rapidly due to OUTSOURCING.

Dont tell me otherwise, I walk the streest looking for work all the time, and the 2 shops I went to this morning both are at a crawl, they only do prototype work because production work is not affordable here, it is all done in China! Both are down to one or two workers JOURNEYMEN machinists that are all in their 50's.

You must not work in manufacturing, that's all I can say.

I have gotten more than 4 Freepmails that prove my point, all from CT freepers who either are unemployed or own businesses that are failing because all the work is going overseas.

You guys keep defending the low payig jobs that are nothing more than SERVICE jobs, they are not jobs where something isproduced, but only a SERVICE is performed!

That's why you are all called FREE TRAITORS.
