The Jobs and Careers are Leaving

When we were growing up and getting started out there in the big world...there was so much opportunity. You could get a good job or career and work at that place until you retired. This was in the time when we made things in America, when we exported more than we imported, and when American products were sought after the world over. The economy was booming and things were solid. What has happened? Now it seems we care more about people overseas having jobs and careers than we do our own people. The amount of jobs that we have lost overseas in the past decade or so because of corporate greed is unacceptable. Because they now have the right by law to move companies overseas at will to increase profits, most companies are doing this. They say it raises the standard of living in these countries and it gives them opportunities that they would not have otherwise and this may be true...but which reason do you believe is true? What about the opportunities of our youth? Where can they go to get a job out of high school or college? India? China? Pakistan? Mexico? America is becoming a service country that does not make anything! I am concerned about this type of thing. We need these jobs and our young people need these jobs. We do all these things in addition to providing all kinds of aid money to these countries and where are they when we need help? Where were they during the severe storms and tornadic activities in the mid west this spring that leveled cities? Where were they during the recent wildfires in California? Where have they been during the massive hurricanes we have each year? But America is always there for them in their time of need...the military is quick to assist people in need all over the world, the American Red Cross, and countless other aid agencies supported by Americans!!! We always do alot and get back so little!

THIS IS TRUE. MY KIDS ARE LOOKING FOR JOBS NOW! I'M AFRAID THAT I WILL NEVER GET THE FREELOADERS OUT OF THE HOUSE IF THEY DON'T FIND ONE. THEY ARE GETTING TOO OLD TO STAY AT HOME, BUT IT IS HARD FOR THEM TO MAKE IT OUT THERE WITHOUT WORK.

What we have to start doing is buying american made goods. The things in my house that seems to last the best is all american made stuff. Foreign made products are usually shoddy made and don't last as long.
