Buddy Roemer is playing the "China is stealing our jobs.", card this morning

[NNN0LHI]

Buddy, you look older than I am. Where were you at 30 years ago when my job was being moved out of the country? Why didn't you say something back then about our jobs being moved out of the country Buddy?

These Johnny come lately's like Buddy that think they are going to BS people. Like we all have short memories or something.

Like I have always said, whenever I find someone stupid as Buddy they always assume everyone else is as stupid as they are.

Doesn't always work that way Buddy.

1. Glad you mentioned "the last 30 years"

More Americans then you may know have that reality

2. Funny how it's "China" stealing our jobs, not corporations moving them offshore.

Must keep people primed for the next boogeyman justification for the military-industrial-complex

Why is everyone always out to get us?

3. Because that way it's FOREIGNERS stealing our jobs, not AMERICANS deciding to move

them offshore.

That makes it a easier-to-sell "us vs. them" ("good guys vs. bad guys&quot scare tactic rather than a more-difficult-to-explain "why do American corporations do this?". As a benefit for conservatives, it lets the corporations off the hook for outsourcing ("they're merely trying to compete with ruthless foreign corporations&quot and shifts the blame to those never-to-be-trusted FOREIGNERS.

It's a good thing that Democrats don't blame the foreigners, but keep the focus on the responsibility of American corporations.
