You must be a big hit at parties. What’s a “mot” BTW?

The problem is not free competition.

Within America. That’s what made America great. What’s causing true damage to our country, is sending our jobs out of the country.

The longer term problem is, we are now truly, in the proverbial “race to the bottom”, as long as there are no limits to what will be outsourced.

Eventually, every American job will be exported. We’ll be broke. We’ll have forgotten how to make things. Our factories will all be in China. We’ll import what we need, as long as our money holds out, then we’re good and truly screwed.

Then what?

Will you smile, and think that’s what we needed all along?

Once that happens, you don’t actually think that China, and India, will send jobs BACK HERE, do you?

“Free trade” is a one-way street.

To nowhere.

Ahh, Cringing News Network, same old song, Companies that reach a certain launch size where they have the management to handle massive competition or they do not.

If you look at those companies (Some need CPR some don’t IMO) they failed to make that jump and secure stockholders and employees futures.

Pan Am? Am Motors?

Ford is a good case in point, they are constantly behid the curve, they built huge SUV’s and when the market shifted ( a blind monkey could see it coming) they were caught flat footed.

Now we both have chatted with the Free Trade troika before, arrogant, and dismissive, they could care less, is it any wonder that the Dems are at our throats now?

I would suggest that you jettison as much debt as possible, and remain flexible enough to change careers.

Are you being serious? Calm down the sky isn't falling. You fail to understand that new jobs are being created while old ones are being lost. This is good thing if you can take advantage of it.
