Outsourcing proponents claim that US job loss is being exaggerated, that outsourcing is really just a small thing involving a few call centers. If that is the case, how is it transforming sleepy Indian cities into "the New York Cities of Asia"? If outsourcing is no big deal, why are Bangalore hotel rooms "packed with foreigners paying rates higher than in Tokyo or London," as the Dayton Daily News reports? If outsourcing is of no real consequence, why are American lawyers or their clients paying $2,900 in fees plus hotel and travel expenses and two days' billings to attend the Fourth National Conference on Outsourcing in Financial Services in Washington DC (April 20-21)? ...Economists give assurances that the dollar's decline and fall will bring jobs and industry back to the US. Once Americans are as poor as Indians and Chinese are today, the process will reverse. Multinational corporations will locate in America to take advantage of cheap labor and unserved markets. By becoming poor, the US can become rich again. You might want to ask the economists and our "leaders" in Washington why we should put ourselves and our descendants through such a wrenching process.- The Great American Job Sell Out, Paul Craig Roberts

As we continue to be lied to every minute of the day by the corporate media  mind control apparatus, the ruling elites are plotting the ongoing standard of living decline and eventual serfdom of Joe and Jane Sixpack. For most Africans in AmeriKKKa this will be no big deal since most of us are only one or two generations removed from racial and socio-economic caste status. However the slipping economy, the loss of jobs the increases in post secondary education costs will make it increasingly more difficult for our people to avoid the pitfalls of systemic poverty, illiteracy and marginalization. As the wealth gap increases and the fascists continue their plans to sell out the working class we will have nowhere to turn for help unless the Democratic Party resuscitates itself by rediscovering and reconnecting with its labor and Civil Rights roots or there is a massive grass roots groundswell of resistence and agitation. I am not a pessimist I still believe as long as there are courageous souls willing to expose the agenda and provide an alternative to the plutocratic lies, disinformation and spin there is hope. I believe people will empower themselves and galvanize a significant portion of the population to do what is in their best interests. As it stands now, AmeriKKKa is being pushed into an abyss that will leave the nation bankrupt both morally and economically.

Even the mainstream press reports on  the mammoth trade and budget deficits (although they do not explain their macro and microeconomic impact) as Bush and Co ask for billions more to fund their megalomaniacal imperialist over reach while proposing to gut essential domestic programs. The mountains of debt are unfathomable and mind boggling for the average citizen but even the dummied down AmeriKKKan public has got to understand the federal government can't continue to spend more than it takes in and expect to survive over the long haul. Bush's tax cuts for the rich are having the same effect Ronald Reagan's Trickle Down Economic policies had twenty years ago, rising government red ink while undermining confidence in the U.S. dollar and causing anxiety for the foreign investors who now hold the lion's share of US T Bills and debt. Only this time Bush is exacerbating this situation with his bottomless sink hole for his perpetual wars, his record job loss and flat line wages that are eroding the standard of living for middle and working class folks and setting our children up for generations of peonage. Unlike during the Reagan era when the AmeriKKKa dollar was king, investors now have another place to put their money, the Euro which is threatening the dollar's hegemony and may emerge as the new medium of exchange. Plus they can invest in emerging economic powers like China and India.


What does this mean for the average Joe? It means our standard of living will continue to decline as the fascists continue to wage class warfare with their assault on what's left of the labor movement, as they allow more and more corporate mergers, as they promote outsourcing and attempt to scuttle and pillage the last jewel of New Deal Socialism; Social Security. The wars Bush is currently waging and the one™s he plans to wage will further alienate the rest of the world. Many countries see the handwriting on the wall and are no longer willing to sit back and wait for the wolf to attack them or expropriate and control the resources they need to survive.. Many are forming trade and military alliances for their mutual protection as we currently see with Venezuela, Russia, China, Sudan, North Korea and Iran.
