And its going to get worst in California we will have over 20 million foreclosure in 2011. Bestbuy are down by 20%. HP is barely broke even this year. Marshall are closing 170 store and layoff over 5000 by Feb 2011. In Elk Grove,Ca FedEx close there distribution and layoff 85 at the end of this year. We can't blame anybody its are fault. We allow this to happen. First get rid of Fed,IRS,Wall St. U.S.People control are currencies and back by gold or silver or anything that has real value. Have a Fair Income Tax=Flat National Wide Sales Tax.

The aim is to take any job that can be done elsewhere for cheaper and move it there.
So basically any manufacturing job is simply out as just about anything can be manufactured
for cheaper elsewhere. Some services such as tech support can be outsourced as consumers
never buy a product based on tech support quality.

The way to take the maximum amount of money from the people and into the hands of
the major investors and those who "matter" to the company is to create a consuming
type of economy while trying to keep as much manufacturing out as possible.
So the jobs that are allowed to remain are jobs that are only required to bring
a product directly to the consumer. A example of this would be to person who hands
you the food at a fast food window. A job like this will pay extremely poorly as it requires
no real skills and its required to give the consumer the goods that small amount of money paid
to the employee will not be able to save/bank much if any at all and thus will be spent consuming the goods directly sending the money back.

Unions are absolutely powerless when it comes to the few manufacturing jobs
as if the job can be done elsewhere laying everyone off was part of the plan anyways.
The company for PR reasons acts like it cares and "deals" with the union slightly normally
making them agree to pay decreases and/or a % of layoffs. Until of course no employees remain while already having overseas operations fully prepared. However if the consumer
jobs were to unionize and begin to make demands this could pose as a problem
so any attempts are normally quickly squashed even through less than legal means.

I'm sure they will hire people in India to make up for the loss...

And yet we continue to elect politicians who allow this kind of crap to happen.
