From Optics Engineers to Capenters - all are skilled trades. Fraud was laughed at for years, so now we are paying for systematic business dishonesty, in appraisals, financial statements, and contracts, garbage in, garbage out.
But, don''t think socialism is better.

So is THIS why all the jobs are going to China, India and Mexico??? They are better educated? I did not know that. I thought most of them came here to get educated or don''t get educated at all because they have to go to work when they turn 8 years of age.

Our society is based on a hierarchy yes? Therefore not everyone can be middle managers or professionals, let alone CEOs or Generals.

Your repetitive eloquence in my opinion is underwhelming.

Yawn. All the jobs are going offshore because it''s "cheaper". Unfortunately, how often has quality followed suit? Customer satisfaction? Shareholder satisfaction? And other factors.

All I know is, government gives tax credits to those who buy SUVs, and to corporations that offshore. (All the other republicans I know say corporations should get tax incentives for keeping jobs here in America.)

For those demanding national health care, be advised such a model exists in this country. You can find it in the Federal Prison system. Prison medical staff are overwhelmed and understaffed due to prisoner "rights".

How many average citizens can show up at the doctors office or emergency room to get treated for athletes foot or the common cold?

Federal inmates get medical care that your Uncle Fred, Aunt Sally or mom and dad have to give up food and rent in order to purchase.

There has to be some form of triage in medical care as we have unlimited demand chasing a limited supply.

Cut the evil "greedy" medical staffs funding? Prison system did it with a resultant shortage of medical staff.

If it won''t work in a "controlled" system, it sure as heck won''t work in a market society.

Consider the systems in place in Canada and England.

Unlimited medical care with limited resource can''t work.
