Don't hit the panic button (but do blame those pesky overpaid workers)

We wonder how American workers will be worth their very high price in the new global labor market, especially when our culture seems to value education less highly than some of our competitors do.


and

Our capital markets are now threatened by the recent credit market turmoil.



Well, the people who took the loans are part of it, but haven't some in the media (the same one that puts crassness over education) also pointed out crooked games the loanmeisters play?

And if other countries are said to be making middle classes and pulling people out of poverty, what those workers are being paid isn't as low as some are led to believe.
