In India and China, there is plenty of SLAVE LABOR and the U.S. Govt. has decided to equalize U.S. JOBS and Salaries with these SLAVE LABOR conditions to do one thing: support a CEO to average worker pay gap of 400X (see below.) Don't listen to anything else that the companies say, it's about price. We could easily train Americans to develop these skills on the job in about three months. Price includes training and having to deal with workers who require health benefits and everything else that a person working should get. There's a big difference from the old days when American people cared about one another and nowadays where greed rules the day: while corporations have robbed pension funds that were committed to, banks have falsely appraised real estate for the past 10 years and aren't held to account for the fraud when the borrowers are held to the falsely valued loans, and executives get paid 400 TIMES the average worker -- see the following article:(http://www.opednews.com/articles/The-Wide-Divide--You-Are-B-by-Steve-Elliott-080616-912.html), Americans continue to vote for the creators of these schemes: Republican schemers. It's crazy how you are shooting yourself in the feet, ladies and gentlemen. Please get a clue. Yeah, Obama is not the best and is having a hard time, but if you think cutting more decent jobs is the answer, watch out because I can replace ANY U.S. Worker, and I mean any, (skilled or not, doctor, lawyer, IT, CEO, McDonald's person, whatever) with a Chinese or Indian worker who will cost 5% of your total salary -- want to compete with that? And I mean ANY job. I work at a very big software company that all of you have heard of — there is only one reason why this company hires Indian IT firms — PRICE!!!!!

I actually thought this writing had some independent thought behind it..logical analysis devoid of the paternalistic policies that have permeated US policy. But alas, once again "father knows best" has come to the foreground betraying the true nature of the authors and a reflection of US world supremacy. Its really rather simple. Any change in economic policy doesn't need to be viewed as a paternalistic redress of a misguided economic policy. It simply needs to address the weaknesses of existing economic policy. Too bad, may have been a good read. Why is the US ideology obsessed with this “I’m doing this for your own good” mentality?
