<sell to whom? If more and more jobs are outsourced, then this country will be left with what? This time, the outsource is different. Mexico doesn't have a highly educated workforce. Japan doesn't have vast land and natural resources. India and China are whole new world with skilled yet cheap labor and huge resources and market.

Good point.

You can't buy a whole lot but the basic adult life necessities and upkeep items for two children on $20 an hour pay. When that job goes away and the new service job pay is $12 an hour then you can't even buy the necessities.

And don't forget to Save for retirement!

Again, I think (not to be insulting to anyone) that the "won't affect me" syndrome is causing a lot of people to rationalize and pooh pooh the growing employment problem away.
