Thank you Becky, very good post, I agree with what amn and others said, this is a good country,

love it or leave it, hmm have not used that pharse in an eon

I know what your husband is talking about. My brother just lost his job 2 weeks ago with a major car manufacturer after working there for 29 years. Another friend of mine lost his job last May with a major car rental company after 25 years. Both companies started out sourcing work to other countries to cut costs. Now, there are 2 more men in their mid 50's looking for jobs. It's very sad.


Becky21, DH says the very same thing. The 'big guys' want more $$$$ and they don't care about Americans. They say 'big deal' just so I get it done & get lots of $$'. Also, Americans could often do it, if we didn't insist on more $ from the big guys (A chinese guy might be able to do the same thing for less $ and the bosses don't care if it isn't the best just so it looks good. Lots of car parts 'can' be made just about anywhere & still LOOK good.) :( :mad:
I don't drive but I always hear how terrible things are, when my FIL or DH work on their cars.

Lor,

It is bad! It was ok when it was the working people losing their jobs or reducing their pay and benefits. Now that it is hitting the big dogs at the big companies, it has suddenly become a huge problem and making news. They didn't seem to mind putting the workers out on the street but now they are freaking out when they are losing their jobs.

A great reminder, Beck~ of all that we DO have. I agree w/AMN (but if you tell her that, I'll deny it)

Let Freedom Ring.
