The American Job Market

What the heck happened? We were going along so well for what, about 100 or so years, building, developing, designing, women joining the workforce, (there was enough for everyone), various cultures joining us from abroad -- then wammo! We started handing everything over to other countries to build for us, to create for us and to run for us. Why did we allow this to happen? Schools started to become too lenient, we decided that "Made in Japan" was good purchases, we had to go outside our borders and triple Visas to bring in "intellectual property". So here we are, now trying to figure out how we can fix what we allowed to happen. This is not to criticize in any way, shape, or form cultures or what we have received from our friends abroad. Their goods and services have certainly enhanced our lives in many ways, however, we've gotten away from good old American ingenuity.

We are scared, worried and once again allowing someone else to take control of our destiny -- do we really think the government has all the answers? I'm not talking about mutiny here, but I'm talking about taking a stand to better our schools, regain our growth and utilize our ingenuity. Let's move America forward with the same industrialization that grew this country and provided jobs.

What are some of your thoughts?
