The struggle is the classic struggle of capitalism and evolution: adapt or die. The change agent in this case is globalization and the "creative economy" or the "digital economy". Anyone in this country that wishes to be middle class will need to be trained and skilled in those careers. If not, they'll likely be outsourced. Lucky for Americans, virtually anybody willing to work hard can get that training. Those that choose not to will have to hunt and peck for the last remaining scraps of jobs that aren't going overseas to where the cheap labor is. America, the government, therefore has a choice: 1.) Invite the world's cheap labor and invite the world's best and brightest by being that "shining city upon the hill" that all the world flock to live in. To do this, America will have to embrace low cost labor. 2.) Deny low cost labor and deny the world's best and brightest. This is what's happening today. With this choice American firms will be forced to export jobs or die. When this happens (as it already is) more Americans will see their jobs disappear. Soon America's best and brightest will chase those jobs overseas and America will be a rotting shell of a once great nation. But, it's our choice. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:206824 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
