(One of many shuttered Ohio factories)

Look to overseas markets, of course:

Yes, now that "corporate America" has abandoned its workers and moved production to Asia, Canada and Mexico; They have lost faith in the American consumer.  You know the "consumers" that don't have jobs anymore, because corporate America did what they did. 

Are you surprised, CEOs?  If you want an American Market, bring the jobs back home.  It will hit your bottom line a bit, but think of the cost difference when selling a washer/car/anyting in America, vice Asia or Columbia.  Wake up.

Send Jobs To China/Mexico

I was reading this story: http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-jobs-offshoring-20101006,0,1485516.story

And I was aghast!  I had no idea how we were actually paying for companies to send their jobs to Asia and South America.  The Department Of Labor spells out how we have pay to cover workers, victims, of US companies sending jobs to other countries.

This about makes me puke.  Who thought this up?  As far as I can tell, Bush 1, started it, Bill Clinton signed it with modifications, and Bush 2 increased benefits to companies that moved jobs out of the US.

I want to throw up....

Of course all republicans want to keep the economy in the trash, and keep big American business shipping jobs over seas.
