Bush's answer if you've lost your job to outsourcing? Community college.

[Goldmund]

This has to be HAMMERED. When asked about outsourcing, he absurdly gave an answer about education and how he will "help send you to your local community college". Does that mean that only people with high school education or less have lost their jobs to outsourcing? What could the scores of IT professionals who have lost their jobs to outsourcing do with his "help to send them to their local community colleges"?

And if you already have a college diploma? I guess you get a head start at applying at your local WalMart, at one of those jobs that, as Kerry pointed out, pay far less than the jobs that have been lost.

This is a huge opening, and we have to hammer it.

1. those 4 year degreed unemployed people probably don't agree..

2. Good idea. Associate Degrees in Mercenary Science are offered in most

And even those who don't offer Torture Certs.

3. Oh yeah

An associate's degree from your local community college is going to help you compete with all the unemployed bachelor and master's degree holders out there.

4. My husband was fit to explode

on that remark. He's a software designer with a master's degree, still employed, thank God, for now. But he's concerned about his job security. Starbucks is the current plan B.

6. let me see..........

oh ya..i heard that same bullshit in 1980 when the steel working indusrty went south and east. guess what all those jobs we were to retrain for didn`t exist cause they could hire a kid for 10 cents on the dollar compared to what we made,plus they figured we wouldn`t be happy doing this and that job. this bullshit doesn`t play well with my generation
