How many jobs do we have to lose?

[Maggie_May]

We the middle class American have lost so many jobs to outsourcing can we afford to lose anymore? We need to address this problem to our candidates. I am really sick of hearing that we need to educate our children better so that they can become more competitive. Its not only my children I am worried about it us too. The way things are going we won't be able to keep our schools open.

1. So Vote To Stop It

Two of the three Democratic presidential frontrunners voted for, or cheer-led, NAFTA and permanenet "free" trade status for China.

Don't vote for them.

2. I used to be middle class

I know how you feel . I can't even find the reason for a good education as far as a good job is concerned , the only reason now would be to be educated in politics so the coming generation can change this mess .

They don't even have civics or history . You lose your job and there goes all the hard work all for nothing .

And what new jobs will there be that requires much of an education ?

7. Well I have tried and so have you

What concerns me now is what 2008 will bring whether Dem or not . Provided we even have an election .

I have to say , I don't hold alot of trust in politicians anylonger

5. Yah! We're AMERICANS godammit! We shouldn't have to educate our kids better!!

Americans make me so proud.

8. I didn't mean we should not educate our children

I a have one that has a 4 year scholarship that she had worked very hard for. 8 year old boy that receives all A's. I am very proud of both. I just would like an answer to what our candidates are going to do to keep jobs here. Education is always been a top priority for my husband and I. States are running out of funding in my state and have been closing schools. The tax base is getting smaller because of lost jobs.

9. If Americans weren't the stupidest of all industrial nations, and *still*...

... had trouble getting jobs, I'd be with you.

But we are, so I'm not.

EDIT: I've interviewed hundreds of candidates for programming jobs - with epsilonishly few exceptions, the American-y ones were idiots.
