RE: Jobs (or the lack of....)

It's bad for us if we can't figure out what to do with the skilled workers
that will/are displaced here in America.  Make no mistake about it, I do not
believe that trading an American job to a foreign worker helps the overall
global picture...it simply trades off the employment of one human to
another, and for the overall benefit of the employer.
