(12,882 posts)1. Many of these folks WILL find jobs
What they'll also find is that the decades of off-shoring that are the result of corporate dominance and the many Clintonesque "trade agreements" have caused a desperation for work that makes much lower wages have the illusion of a godsend. The truth is, it's really the "third-worlding" of America. The very DREAM that ignorant Tea-partiers and their corporate manipulators have aspired to all along. Once our labor force is willing to work for what amounts to foreign wages, our corporate masters will patriotically bring jobs back to this country.
