Where will the jobs come from in the future? We don’t make things (TV’s appliances soon no cars) anymore. Tech CEO’s want H1B visa people to take tech jobs (no American is qualified you understand). Call centers have moved overseas. Wachovia has moved its clerical operation overseas...where will the jobs come from. Do you really believe we can remain a great country while we serve hamburgers to one another? The GOP lost their way when they stopped caring about job creation. I don’t know how they can fix this.

“Where will the jobs come from in the future? We don’t make things (TV’s appliances soon no cars) anymore.”
US industrial production in 2007 was higher than ever. Productivity has been higher than ever

“In 12 Tech CEO’s want H1B visa people to take tech jobs (no American is qualified you understand).”
I am an American and I work in high-tech. And yes, we do not have enough qualified Americans, since too many flee engineering. Recessions ‘cure’ this for a while, but its hard to find good people in normal years.

” Call centers have moved overseas. “
Some low-paying undesirable service jobs are going overseas and in the process overall costs go down and its a win/win.
So have textile jobs. You need to stop looking at the jobs that you think are ‘going’, when in a dynamic economy we shift everyday; you should instead look at the overall health at home,

“Wachovia has moved its clerical operation overseas...where will the jobs come from. Do you really believe we can remain a great country while we serve hamburgers to one another?”
that’s a strawman since we have huge industrial production, agri production and complex services.

“The GOP lost their way when they stopped caring about job creation. I don’t know how they can fix this.”
If the GOP goes down the false path of protectionism, it will kill jobs. Bailouts without end will weaken the economy. Pro-growth policies are what is needed.

Fortunately we can have a good contrast with the Dems, by just sticking to . The Dems want to grow the Govt, in so many different ways in their agenda; the GOP wants to grow the economy. Stick with lower/flatter/fairer Taxes, business regulation reduction, science and technology focus in education, etc.
