Notice we do not go to the massive pool of "talent" in Asia to get 50,000$ a year CEO s, news anchors,politicians-even lobbyists-the bribes could be so much smaller too !Only labor is outsourced-workers have no strong lobby,& their brainwashing has made their vote of no value.

The only long-term solution for consumers is to live below their means by 50%. Meaning, be sure to save 50% of your income for the future, for emergencies, whatever. Some, of course, can''''t, but if people try, they might achieve a savings rate of 20% or more.

America and American businesses are going through an adjustment period that I believe is not temporary, but here to stay. Plan accordingly.

Sounds a lot like Jimmy Carter doesn''t it folks! ROFLMAO The TRUTH and the FACT is that since we started down this "Trickle Down" Free Trade Road, WE the PEOPLE have seen our standard of living drop and continue to drop. The fact is that today we are dead last in the G-7 with our standard of living and we continue to drop toward Third World Status. When we decided to follow these IDIOTs we were NUMBER ONE. Now we can either Change direction or we can continue our slow constant drop. It''s really up to us! VOTE DEMOCRAT! Obama 08

I thought the headline was referring to Alcoholics Anonymous. But it''''s American Airlines. No big deal. Just a bunch of surly stewardesses getting canned. No loss.

You have to love how Fascist Republican''s care about America and those who have to work for a living don''t you. McSame is off touring OTHER nations, seeing if he can give away MORE American Jobs and these people are having their ability to feed their families taken away. By the way you pathetic swastika hugging moron there are MANY more people who work on an Airline than Stewardesses. God were does slime like these Nazi''s come from anyway!! SIEG HEIL BUSH

I would like to offer the following to anyone that still has a job. No matter who you are, there is a danger of a layoff for reasons unrelated to your performance. While still employed, learn all you can about your company''s termination policies particularly health care; start a part-time business in an area you enjoy - believe me you will need the income; at work, make yourself as valuable (no A****) as you can to your company and also make yourself as debt free as possible. Your credit union can also help a lot with finances. Dave Ramsey has an excellent radio show that can help.

Those are my two cents. God Bless.

Of course they''re going to have to lay off workers.

This is what happens under the "Federal Reserve System".

The Federal Reserve System is designed to create inflation so that it can steal people''s hard earned labor and natural resources.

The credit bubble of the last 8 years and in fact the credit bubbles of the last 30 plus years are direct result of when you print more money then what can physically be produce which is inflation.

Somebody has to pay off the last 30 plus years of printing money out nothing and it should of been the banks and people on Wall Street like in 1929 but this time it''s going to be us.
