Economist and writer Paul Craig Robert unleashes another salvo on the Offshore Outsourcing lobbyists, CEOs and economists in his latest article, "The Lies at the End of the American Dream". Roberts marshals compelling evidence to support his dismal prediction that "in 20 years the US will have a third world work force engaged in domestic nontradable services". Goodbye middle class America and welcome to the Third World.
About Me
I'm a software engineer, an Information Technology worker, opposed to the replacement of American workers with low-wage foreign workers and offshore outsourcing middle class American jobs.
I believe that most corporate, academic and political "leaders" are short-sighted, self-interested and indifferent to the general welfare of all Americans. This failure of national leadership is evident in the declining employment opportunities, living standards, savings, and real income of most Americans.
I can be reached via email at "Info_Tech_Guy(at)Yahoo(dot)com" but if you have an opinion, you're welcome to share it on this blog.
