[QUOTE="joshpoints, post: 468265, member: 546465"] Very true Bush is getting blamed for a lot of things. Anything that goes wrong is eventually linked to him. The outsourcing of jobs is quite a topic. Some new ideas I have on it are if we outsource all the jobs that are easy to do and don't outsource jobs that take unique thinking what's going to happen to those in america that don't have the brains or were not gifted in the jobs that we are left with? Do we go to a socialist system so that those that can not carry out these jobs receive money from those that can? I heard one guy on tv make the claim that when jobs are outsourced throughout our history we have come up with new things to fill in for what was outsourced. I'm not sure if this streak can go on forever. We are outsourcing even accounting work which means my job oppertunities are going to be less with this degree when I get out of college meaning less pay for me. So what are americans to do for work? I'm throwing all my money into going to college to specialize in a specific area and then after doing all this I find that there are few jobs due to outsourcing? Do you go back to school and specialize in another area? But even outsourcing really isn't left up to the president. It really comes down to the corporations and businesses that decide to outsource to save money. Businesses are much like consumers in that they want to get a product or service as cheap as possible while maintaining quality. So all products and services (jobs) that can be bought for less outside the US will be bought. Leaving americans with jobs that can't be outsourced due to its inconvenience or due to the fact that other nations are not capable of making it for less. I guess this outsourcing could also lead to us have a large low/poor class and smaller group of upper class well off people, shrinking the middle class. [/QUOTE]
