''The IT field in South Florida has diminished,'' he says. ``Companies have moved out, and others downsized the budget.''

This flies in the face of recent reports of lowest unemployment in the country, "business-friendly" climate reports, and the classifieds.

BTW, hubby does IT work in S. FL - he can't find qualified staff...and the only people applying these days are foreigners he doesn't intend to hire.

Lawmaker predicts defeat for 'Buy American' language (Defense Department procurement update)


"But, in general, the protective system of our day is conservative, while the free trade system is destructive. It breaks up old nationalities and pushes the antagonism of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie to the extreme point. In a word, the free trade system hastens the social revolution. It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade." ~ Karl Marx, On the Question of Free Trade, January 9, 1848

"Communists and socialists feel sure that setting up international “free” trade systems which impose regulations chuck full of intrigues, redistribution plans, arbitrary law, and interdependence schemes, will win out against the conservative interests of every free nation. What could be better than to use “free” trade to reverse the advantage of the relatively free, moral, prosperous,
and strong nations of the Earth, so that the tyrannical, amoral, poor, and weak nations of the socialist bloc might get the upper hand? What could be a more cunning approach than to market the idea that those who oppose “free” trade are enemies of freedom?"

I am seeing more and more of these articles. It's causing me to have the thought that perhaps the damned media is up to some lousy tricks, yet again. Lyiing liars.
