Ping on or off let me know.

I hear the unemployment numbers have dropped mostly because discouraged workers are no longer being counted as unemployed.

The ironic part is most of these of these people are immigrants. Came here to better themselves and their families.

Now they are out on the street and will never ever get as good a job. So what do they tell their children? Become lawyers so you can help rape the carcass of a once great nation? Lawyers will always have work? A nation that closes down it's manufacturing and outsources hi-tech is a loser nation. A nation that trasfers factories to China along with the manufacturing know how is a loser nation.
