Insourcing:The Fourth Wave...

[catnhatnh]

Wave 1. Illegals to perform jobs "Americans won't do".Lie number one-PAY enough and it will get done.Migrant "stoop labor" harvesting jobs WOULD be done if the price was right and illegal laborers were excluded...John McCain says Americans wouldn't do this for $50 per hour...I know Americans that are economically so hard pressed there is NOTHING they wouldn't do at that price...If tomatoes cost three dollars a pound instead of two, will americans give them up?

Wave 2. Worker visas. Lie number two. These are jobs that are critical or hard to fill.Which are most often described as technical jobs that US colleges do not graduate enough students to fill...Yet if demand overran supply the normal course of events would drive prices to the point that workers would train to the demand. But here in New Hampshire, the visas go to young Europeans who work in the tourist industry for "the season" and go home. The resort owners make enough to work just the seasonal prime time and close 7 months a year without the need to pay enough for service workers to do the same thing...

Wave 3. Outsourcing.The shipping of manufacturing jobs to whereever labor is cheapest.It started with textiles and has proliferated to the point where auto workers must eat the cost of healthcare and cut wages by a third or GM will outsource automotive factories.

Wave 4. Insourcing.Mexican drivers displacing teamster drivers....one more piece of the middle class dream gone.It starts with just 500 trucks-but it will NEVER end.What we are watching is a corporate race to the bottom .Buy this and the middle class dies...in my lifetime they have killed most of it...from firing the air traffic controllers to the new mass of unionless TSA workers, to desperate ex-military types working in the middle east to hang on to a lifestyle the GOP is trying to kill....


If you are truly middle class, be ready for this-soon you will an exhibition in a museum, along with the booby bird and the passenger pigeon.They will not rest until you are extinct.

1. Wave #3 is not quite right

It actually started in the sixty's with steel.
