The main problem with this country today is that it stopped working.

America outsourced its industries; American jobs are routinely performed by foreign labor – either in this country or abroad. The net result is high unemployment, lack of career opportunities, and, ultimately, destruction of American middle class – the pillar of American democracy and the main contributor to federal and state tax revenues.

India is the number one player in this outsourcing game. It has government agencies specifically designated to the efforts to move jobs to India or employ Indians abroad.

As everyone knows, Lou Dobbs has resigned from CNN. There are plenty of rumors about his intentions, but, as it is very clear from his statement, he is considering to go into politics.

The answer is YES!!!

I can't say that I agree with a lot of stuff posted on CommonDreams.org, but the song is catchy:

I am a big fan of This American Life. Last weekend they ran Return To The Giant Pool of Money. The original The Giant Pool of Money ran a few months ago and won many awards, as National Public Radio did a wonderful job explaining the mechanics of the economic collapse we all went through a year ago.
