Why are Democrats fighting in the name of preserving jobs that have already been outsourced?
Hasn't this been going on for quite a while?

Downsizing, outsourcing, offshoring, now "rightsizing"?

2. Thank you I didn't see that one
:thumbsup:

These companies did this to themselves and their employees.

Championing holding on to current jobs must address also all the ones that have jettisoned over the past decades.

5. Almost like the CEO's knew either way it was a win win for them.
"The collapses and reasons are the same for Chrysler and Ford, the CEO's kept insisting that the consumer's opinion was wrong, and they kept building cars that no longer sold." I say take care of the workers and their pensions and if there is any thing left donate it to a soup kitchen.

3. Your assertion is that we should not struggle against outsourcing ...
Because it is already happening ?

I am thinking we should fight it even if they had not fought it, or even if it is already happening ... Because it is hurting us and we need to stop what is hurting us ...
