azb111, RE: "We - the workers - are talking, but NO ONE is listening. "

Good post.

Bush & Snow seem to think "everything will be okay".

It won't be, unless we take action.

New innovation is required to give existing engineers jobs at high pay.

Meanwhile, some of the Dems (not Zoe) are thinking unemployed hightech people got paid a lot so why do they need any help?

Hightech is being treated poorly by both parties in Congress, White House and Dept of Labor.

A hightech worker actually had to sue the Dept of Labor to convince them that as an unemployed IBM software engineer he deserved funding to be retrained into another field since his job was moved overseas. (There's a law that says people who lose their jobs due to it moving overseas, should get govt paid training. But try telling that to the Dept of Labor.)

Hightech has been treated poorly. You are absolutely correct in saying the govt could care less about what happens to our engineers here and our industry. They are more interested in an election, than improving hightech. Hightech is getting the shaft. Maybe our engineers should have majored in Real Estate, because bonds are the only thing this government seems to feed.
