Dobbs doesn't seem to understand that its the total failure of the US education system that has lead to Indian outsourcing.

I think it's the education system and also NAFTA. In my area, NW PA, labor and manufacturing jobs have left in droves since NAFTA was enacted, leaving unemployment and other local business closings and a population and brain drain in it's wake. Many people I know, both with and without higher education, now work 2 or 3 lower paying jobs, still earning less than before and no more benefits. NAFTA has made it just plain less expensive for some labor employers to ship work to places like Mexico and others.

The average home here is selling for around $300,000.00. It is very hard to educate yourself out of that kind of overhead. It is our own bloated internal cost structure, coupled with excess predatory litigation, that is causing us to be less competitive. We are getting to the point where we can choose to either reinvigorate our job market, or collapse our property values. I doubt that the bubble between the two will hold for much longer.
