outsourcing my ass

So outsourcing is not good, not bad. It just happens, but now we are outsourcing high tech jobs. Bush claims the way to fight this is to educate and retrain. But we're talking Thirty year old Americans with high tech degrees, BAs, MAs and hell even PhDs. They did the education thing. They thought this would get them work and now under Bush that's not even good enough. What other kinds of jobs are out there still in America that people like these can be retrained for?
It used to be menial jobs leaving the US, so those non college types had to go and learn and get degrees. Now no job is safe. No amount of retraining will stop outsourcing. It's time to stop giving tax breaks to the big companies.
