I think my head just exploded! I'm so astounded I can't even think of anything to say except, Oh my god!!!

What I want to know is, how do these corporations who are outsourcing all our jobs expect us to PAY for the stuff they are selling if we don't have a JOB!!!

And another thing, all this stuff is outsourced because it's supposed to save the corporations money but we never see any of the savings on the price of the services and merchandise. If Nike pays a worker $1.00 a week, why are we paying $200 + for a pair of tennis shoes?

Thanks for your support, PV. I hope more people will start raising hell about this subject. The American worker is in big trouble and it's getting worse.

And I agree with you 100% on the crime rate. When people don't have jobs, they have to find some way of putting food on the table.

NAFTA began as the 1988 Free Trade Agreement with canada under Ronald Reagan. It was expanded under Clinton in 1994 to include Mexico. There is talk about the North American Union which would be a lot like the European Union. Guess who is working fot that?.....nope not Obama....it wasn't Hillary.........

Thanks for adding all that. I started to go on and on about how Clinton told us he was doing the expansion for South America and then it wound up being all about Asia, etc., but I just got too damned tired to even go into it. Sometimes, thinking about all the times the American public has been hood-winked and lied to just makes me want to lie down and go into a coma.

I would be willing to bet that Hillary would sign up for that too. I truly believe that we need to get business back into this country...not export more of it out...the agreement would further harm us, especially when we are down. I can't wait until the American people wake up and decide to take things into their own, very capable, hands...if enough of us get pissed off we could and should become totally independent, and instead of selling out to the highest bidder we could be leading and teaching the world how to become 100% self sufficient. I doubt it will happen in my lifetime.

PEOPLE....QUIT BUYING UNNECESSARY STUFF.......QUIT DRIVING WHEN YOU DON'T NEED TO......STAY HOME AND MEET YOUR NEIGHBORS.......BRING BACK BOARD GAMES.......LONG WALKS.......CONVERSATION.....

WIN AMERICAN BACK!!!!!!!!

I love that!

And I love your idea about selling everything and then nationalizing it. LOVE IT!!!!! LOL!

That is how we have gotten our country back in the past. Sinclair Lewis helped too. If we don't take action and pass the torch on to each other, if this isn't a concerted effort through cooperation from one person to the next, it isn't going to happen and we might as well lie down and play dead.

I think people believe it is too big for one individual to handle and it is until you realize we are all connected. Keep writing.....there are plenty of us who read your stuff.

I've been in "spout off" mode for the last few weeks so you're liable to hear plenty more from me. LOL!

over there, Hutts, although I do know that employment issues are very tough in the UK. That's why I always read your blogs - because you talk about the news from your side of the world. Tell us more.

We actually need to be thinking in terms of Global Economy, not just our little corners of the world. What's good for Asia should be good for the rest of us, what's good for South America should be good for the rest of us, etc., etc., etc., but that's not how it's working. The outsourcing of jobs isn't all that good for the countries that are getting the work because the wages are kept so low and the working conditions so harsh. I spend a lot of time and effort finding products that are made somewhere other than Asia, China, etc., in part because I don't want my money going to exploited workers
