The government doesn't seem to believe in promoting jobs for Americans but sure isn't cutting down on social program spending. We're going to be run into the ground as a country between all the growing Socialism and jobs leaving the country. The corporations prove they don't care about this country one iota, except for the consumer base it still gives them --- for now.

Bull...I agree with you on the social spending but Bush is working hard to give breaks to corporations...the problem lies with the corporations. What is your proposal? Force big companies to hire people by the federal govt threat? How conservative is that?

ya know, you're right. ya know what else? "free market" means that that is possible and permitted. you dont like the way things are going? do it yourself. you can learn to live without Coke and make your own computers. the problem is, America has gotten so lazy in what its needs are that we've forgotten how to take care of ourselves. you buy from the companies that produce overseas, so they keep MAKING things overseas.

also, yes, lots of production jobs are being lost to overseas, but what about marketing? consulting? sales, distribution, resourcing, law enforcenment, HEALTH (i plan on becoming a physical therapist, where one can mae in the upwards of 80k a year.) architecture, design, lumber, training, linguistics (which is GROWING due to jobs going overseas) and etc. when manfactering goes down, these jobs become MORE needed. people need to stop whining and get trained to do another job that is needed. it isnt as if anyonebut site managers get paid much for production anyway. we're a grown up company now. we can live a grown-up life.
