Another twist to this is------eliminate the government contract for a given company; thereby eliminating the jobs of the current employees. Or, divide a long standing contract to include several contractors.

These employees become unemployed------new contracts are issued and new job bulletins put out for new jobs. People hired at half the salary of the experienced people who were eliminated.

This is how the Federal Government does it. There is a lot of this coming under Obama-------as Obama redistributes the resources of America-------this is socialism in its rawest form.

Private contractors are constantly fighting to stay alive because of the Government control of contracts. Much of this in the Defense area; however, now that the Federal Government has it fingers and hands into every industry we will imho see many more job losses for experienced employees and dividing of federal contracts throughout all areas that the Federal Government controls.

Interesting that Robert Reich is using Ford as an example-----Ford remains not owned by the Federal Government. The difference between the Federal Goverment and Ford is that Ford is not replacing experienced workers---------they are hiring new workers to add to their pool of workers due to a sucessful business.

In response to the following----- by Robert Reich

"Among those with jobs, more and more have accepted lower pay and benefits as a condition for keeping them. Or they have lost higher-paying jobs and are now in new ones that pay less. Or new hires are paid far lower wages than the old. (In January, Ford Motor Co. announced that it would add 1,200 jobs at its Chicago assembly plant but didn't trumpet that the new workers will be paid half of what current workers were paid when they began.) Or they have become consultants or temporary workers whose pay is unsteady and benefits nonexistent."
