The Collapse of the American Standard of Living Family Articles | April 1 Madison Bumgarner Youth Jersey , 2004 Over the past three years, 3 million American jobs have?been outsourced, primarily to China and India. In this?article I'm going to tell you:
- How and why those jobs were lost - Why 14 million more jobs will be lost - why those jobs are never coming back - What the future will be like for Americans - How you can survive the collapse
Millions of American manufacturing jobs have been lost?since the 1960's. But American inginuity allowed many of?those jobs to be replaced by high-tech jobs. The jobs we?are losing now are in Engineeering, Computer Science Brandon Crawford Youth Jersey ,?Research and Development, and most other high-tech areas.
Over many decades, American workers, through unions and?scarcity of skilled workers Buster Posey Youth Jersey , have raised their standard of?living. American companies couldn't use cheap foreign?labor because communicating and coordinating over great?distance was costly and complicated. The Internet changed?that.
Using cheap Internet bandwidth provided by American telecom?companies, American companies are now able to communicate?and coordinate with cheap foreign workers just as easily?as if they lived next door. The Internet has leveled the?playing field for all workers world-wide. An American?worker now competes for a job against workers in Beijing?China, Calcutta India and everywhere else in the world.
American companies have the choice of paying a reasonable wage, or even the minimum wage of $6.00 per hour Stephen Vogt Youth Jersey , to an American worker, or paying 24 cents an hour for a worker in China, or 34 cents an hour for a worker in India. The choice is clear. Fire the American worker.
Some experts are saying that the job oursourcing trend is not permanent. Just like the high-tech revolution of the last decades, America will find a way to replace the lost jobs. Unfortunately Joe Panik Youth Jersey , wishful thinking does not put food on the table. The job outsourcing can end only when the American worker becomes cheaper than their foreign competitors.
Since China and India each have a population of over one billion (not to mention Indonesia and Africa), compared to about 300 million for the United States, the wages of American workers would have to drop until their standard of living collapsed to that of the average Chinese or Indian.
== Why the U.S. Government is Exporting Your Job ==
Over the past three years, 3 million American jobs have been outsourced Evan Longoria Youth Jersey , primarily to China and India. A study by UC Berkeley predicts that as many as 14 million more jobs will be lost. Why doesn't our government do something? Has our government and the Bush administration been asleep on the job? To the contrary, the government is using the export of your job as a political tool.
Recall the tension between the United States and China over Taiwan, and the "spy plane" incident. China is a country with nuclear weapons. Why doesn't China just take Taiwan? Why didn't China respond more aggressively to the spy plane incident?
Because tensions with the United States would cause 10 million Chinese workers to lose their jobs. The 10 million American workers jobs "gifted" from the U.S Government to China as a political tool. Loss of those jobs would bring China's rapidly growing economy to a halt and push China back into the poverty of the Mao Tse-tung era.
Recall the tension between India and Pakistan over Kashmir and the power base that radical Muslims have in these two countries. Both India and Pakistan are countries with nuclear weapons. Why haven't they responded more aggressively in the struggle over Kashmir? Why have they taken strong action to keep the radical Muslim element under control?
Because a war between India and Pakistan, or giving free reign to radical Muslim terrorists Brandon Belt Youth Jersey , would cause 10 million Indian and Pakistani workers to lose their jobs. The 10 million American workers jobs "gifted" from the U.S Government to India and Pakistan as a political tool. Loss of those jobs would bring India and Pakistan's rapidly growing economies to a halt and push them back into the poverty of the Mahatma Gandhi era.
The last several decades have been very stressful and dangerous for the United States and the world. Personally, I am very surprised that the world has avoided a nuclear incident that would kill billions of people. The reason it has avoided that disaster is because the U.S. Government has been offering up American workers jobs to trouble- making foreign countries as an incentive to behave themselves.
The loss of 3 million American jobs and a trade deficit of $541.8 Billion is the cost that U.S. Government is willing to pay to keep the peace. To keep the peace, we have to share the pie. That's why 14 million more American workers will lose their jobs. That's why those jobs are never coming back.
== What the Future Will be Like for Americans ==
According to the Bureau Of Economic Analysis, GDP in the U.S. increased at an annual rate of 4.1% in the 4th quarter of 2003. You would think business would need to hire more than the measly 21 Kevin Pillar Youth Jersey ,000 new workers they hired.
A study by Cutting Edge Information found that 90% of all U.S. business hire cheap foreign workers instead of American Workers. That's why this has been a jobless
