Thank you for calling our attention to this big injustice.
We gave these companies the best years of our lives and they tell us to train our replacements and then get lost.

Free-Market Trade and the Global Economy, Wallstreet, the Corporate World, the Media love it - why don’t you? When the stock market rallied no one complained about all the H1b’s and outsourcing, went on just the same as today.

“Professionals and college grads have to deal with the growing pains of the Global Economic Community, the whole world will be better off” Quote the politically correct economists never more… Words to remember when you get laid-off with no job in sight.

Not many complained when blue collar jobs went away, after all you go to college to avoids those jobs. I guess the apathetic middle/upper-middle class need to feel a lot of pain before they demand change.

Now that skilled engineering jobs are being transferred offshore, the middle class is in the firing line, and this poses a very real crisis for a large and not-entirely unimportant section of society.

Which is why the country must be totally, completely, absolutely disarmed. Hence, the relentless erosion of the Second Amendment by Democrats and Republicans alike.

It's dry, academic stuff to be sure. But when jobs are being lost on such an extraordinary scale, scarcely reported, is there a politician bold enough even to raise the issue?

No. There's too much corporate money in it for both sides to do little more than roll over, play dead, and sell out the very citizens they are sworn to serve.
