Hey, my job was outsourced to Singapore WAY before any increase of the minimum wage. The third of seven plants that have closed in the region where I live since 2000. I was able to take advantage of these incredible employment numbers that Bush keeps bragging about by getting 2 jobs in the service industry and now I'm waiting for my minimum salary to increase at the one job while the other job was already $.15 above it anyways. Hey, 75 hours a week for $26,000 sure is a heck of a lot better than the 40 hours a week I used to work for $37,000. Don't ya think? Love these employment numbers and hey, lets look at that great stock market too!!! My 401K would've majorly benefited from that if I still had one in which I don't because I can no longer afford one. I have to pay for my health benefits.

A great set of circumstances for a man who has a college education. I suppose the dude in Singapore has a college education too. Hope he likes my 401K! Maybe he can be stupid enough to vote for Bush and reap the great "benefits" that I nad many others have before turning Democrat! Afterall, he's done wonders for the service industry even for those with college educations. Or better yet, maybe we can all just hand over our crappy checks to the Iraqis. A ton of American jobs will end up there someday soon anyways if his little plan works. All hail America!!! The largest third-world country on the planet!!! A place where the working man gets screwed so the greedy can line their pockets with the full faith and support of the stupid!

I should've moved to Singapore!

Let me just play 'devil's advocate' and ask this.. What was your job before it was outsourced? and What have you done to find yourself a new job that involves skill? You found yourself in a crappy situation, what has been done to fix it?
