<<will create a flood of high-paying jobs requiring hands-on technicians, >> Is this how they describe Wallmart workers? Its not just low skilled customer service jobs being exported. The argument that we have to do jobs that add more value, let for poor foreigners do the shit jobs is ignoring all the highly skilled jobs that are being exported. So whats next if you are a software engineer, architect, accountant, etc.? If you are young enough the one job we are not exporting, okay I mean the one job that still has a pay check from the USA, is a military career. Now the war on terror is clearly a growing industry and offering more rewards than ensuring the satisfaction of Wallmart shoppers. All the newly prosperous Chinese and Indian workers in jobs exported from the USA will want to drive SUV's just like Americans. We can keep the war machine rolling to ensure Mideast oil flow is increased and maintained for their incremental demand. With any luck the dollar will drop more and US manufacturing will stand a chance of maybe maintaining its present employment levels for awhile. For the foreseeable future industries supporting the military should stay busy.
