What is it about free market ecoomics that people like you don't get? You sound like a socialist DUer. Total tech jobs now in the US are 17% higher than in 2000 and the current jobs pay more than the jobs lost. Got that?

Why is it that chicken littles like you have always been proven wrong. The US economy for the past fifty years has grown stronger and GDP/head is still at the top of the world. That's after manufacturing jobs went to countries where capital can be used more efficently. Same thing with offshoring.

You read an awful lot into a pretty brief comment. I'm a DUmmy. A socialist. A chicken little. All because I lament the fact that a lot of American jobs are fleeing overseas.

You'll notice that I didn't demand any kind of protectionism, so that kind of shoots your "anti-freemarket" label to hell. Nor did I demand any state intervention, or ramble on about the workers owning the means of production, so your accusation of socialism is equally vapid. As to chicken little, I only commented on the reality, not some extrapolated prediction. The jobs HAVE gone overseas. Whether they'll continue to or not, and what changes will arise as a result, unlike you and your freemarket clairvoyant fellow travelers, I cannot tell. Nor did I try.

So STFU and sit down.
