Another idiot who would like americans to be less productive by keeping disfunctional manufacturing jobs here in the states just so corporations could “employ” people. It’s Americans who have to stop clamoring for labor intensive jobs that we can no longer afford to do here and retrain themselves for more techical employment..

“More technical employment” walks right out the door with the first contract to India.

There is no silver bullet to what has become a national security issue. I would vote for returning government funding to the old tariff-based system as much as possible.

That is exactly right. I have this argument with my Uncle. I remind him that we are guaranteed the “pursuit of happiness (wages through employment, profit through investment)”, not guaranteed employment, with ever increasing wages because we learned to put the left rear fender on an Edsel in 1960.

Life will be great once everyone is a computer programmer. Anybody can do it just as well as the next guy.

Why exactly is the only next step a more technical-employment based economy? Why is it not a possibility that it’s going to be back to the farm for many of the people who once would have been employed moving windshield wipers blades from bin A to wiper motor assembly A all day long?

Oh, yeah, that guy’s future is in biomedical research. Maybe medical polymer molecular design.

I’m trying to figure out what is wrong with having jobs in this country so that people could be employed.

Isn’t this how most people pay the mortgage and put food on the table? What about you, are you a trust fund baby?
