Bush's nonsense response to the outsourcing question

[bacchant]

When you consider that many of the jobs being sent overseas are in fields like engineering, what kind of reeducation does Bush propose to ensure job security? What a fucking fool.

1. Exactly.

[jpgray]

2. That's one area I thought Kerry could bring a knockout to

There are people with four to eight year IT degrees losing their jobs to Eastern Europe and India, where there are folks willing to work for about 7 times less money.

6. Go get yourself an education in flipping burgers

and you'll always have a job in America.

3. REPLY I already have a PHD why should I go to a Community Collage?

[patrice]

4. Have you ever tried to get some of the "trade adjustment"

assistance for education?

No go if you're laid off of a temporary or "contract" job, which includes a lot of people these days.

5. "Yeah! They can all learn to be.. Software Engineers!"

(listens to earpiece)... "Next Question!"

[Heath.Hunnicutt]

7. Burger flipping. Living on the cheap. Choosing from domestic beers.

These will be the topics of reeducation for engineers. Participate in the reeducation, citizen.
