Where America Is Headed

This article from Breibart sums it up:

Even though manufacturing jobs have been declining, the country is enjoying the lowest average unemployment rates of the past four decades. The reason: the growth in the service industries—everything from hotel chambermaids to skilled heart surgeons.

Eighty-four percent of Americans in the labor force are employed in service jobs, up from 81 percent in 2000. The sector has added 8.78 million jobs since the beginning of 2000.

Although these workers have been largely sheltered from the global forces that have hit manufacturing, that could change as satellites and fiber optic cable drive down the cost of long-distance communication. Today it is call centers in India and the Philippines but tomorrow many more U.S. jobs could move off shore.

Some economists say the United States is experiencing a normal economic evolution from farms to factories and now to service jobs.


If you're one of the unfortunate people who has lost his or her job, I suggest that you find a new career that will not be outsourced. I honestly do not think that America can continue as the #1 nation in the world will the majority of its workforce being employed in the service industries.

Bush

Here's more spin and propaganda from Bush:

WASHINGTON - President Bush said Saturday that a Democratic plan to set an end date for the war gives "our enemies the victory they desperately want."


This guy is delusional and dangerous. He needs to be removed from office but the Democratic Congress does not have the balls to impeach him. The Iraq war was based on lies and should be ended immediately.
