THANK GOD

Someone else with a sense of reality out there. The US' economic problems are rooted in the OUTSOURCING of well-paying jobs. Not the 'housing' problem. Thats a by-product of jobs going away. Perot was correct. That "sucking sound" has finally turned into an implosion of the entire system. There are only so many jobs available in Borders or Starbucks...

Everyone who has has their job outsourced and has been forced into a lower paying job (or no job) is paying that much LESS taxes into the system. They're buying that much LESS locally. They're contributing that much LESS to their savings accounts and their retirement.

The answer to difficult questions is nothing more than a series of simple actions:

1) Outlaw outsourcing.
2) Bring back ALL jobs (IT, medical, financial, cust svc/call center, manufacturing, textile and so on)
3) Watch tax revenues rise again, along with the ability to pay for those mortgages, savings rates go up and retirement accounts get funded again.

Until then, this nation is doomed. Hell if I am going to work for Borders or Home Depot when I am a highly skilled professional.

If this doesnt happen then maybe what this nation needs is another revolution. Read up on the 1st American Revolution, in case any of you EINSTEIN CEO's and politicians forgot what the people are capable of. YOU work for US.
