What if the economy starts to add jobs by JanuaryEvery day we read about thousands of jobs lost to "free trade" and out sourcing. There ain't gonna be any job growth in the private sector. Now with the huge spending spree the GOP is on, there will be jobs in government.

Yep, just keep on harping and carping. Keep praying for the revolution that puts your libertarians in position to take over by violence.

Look, an economy will adjust when situations change. America is moving toward an information economy and leaving the industrial economy behind.

If America is to survive and jobs will be created, people will realize this and adjust to the new type of economy.

I have sympathy for those losing their jobs to people overseas. IT SUCKS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. But, economically, it makes sense to do that and costs far more to keep the people here than to let them go. Thus, in that sense, it actually hurts our economic growth by keeping them here.

It is a tough situation, but macroeconomics does not allow for a simple "bring back the jobs" solution, unless you want to see the companies just go out of business or pay lower salaries to workers to survive with all workers based in America.
