We are on a path of non competitiveness in tax policy, labor policy, environmental policy, litigation policy, and education policy. Offshoring is a symptom not the cause of problems. The cost of labor and investing have risen dramatically with rat control. If left with reasonable government influence, the US workforce is the most productive in the world. Unfortunately, we are headed for Draconian influence.

True. I would those rats got lots of Rhino 'reaching across the aisle' help.

Quality always suffers when outsourcing American jobs. But nothing matters but the bottom liiiiine.

I think the UAW jobs outsourced to Japan and Korea have actually improved quality.

THAT’S NOT THE HALF OF IT.

I heard someone on TV. (don’t watch just listen) Talking about how Ice is going to take all the “non-violent” Illegals out of jails and put them in vacant nursing homes an motel/hotels etc. How do you like that...the homeless get to find a doorway or ally to sleep in, yet the ILLEGALS get a clean bed and 3 squares.
I swear,America has gone TOTALLY insane.
