					<description>I get it.  America is going down the tubes and the foreigners have bought all the companies because they like to lose money by buying American companies that are going out of business.

This is why hundreds of thousands of people smuggle themselves into America, so that they too can live ever worse lives.  Also, if allowed, millions would join them every year.
Right.  Check.  

Not to mention the estimated 29 trillion dollars just the NYSE is capitalized at.  
These people are idiots too.</description>

					<description>mark, there are so many books and articles on reversing this trend. This is not just an American trend, but also is being felt in Western Europe, though maybe not to the same extent. 

Some suggestions: 

-A conservative fiscal program to pay for our expenditures. Meaning the tax cuts for the rich have to be reversed. A cut in the bloated defense budget. Oversight on all the contracts awarded via &quot;no-bid&quot; system of the Cheney Administration. Real money put into projects here at home to make our people competitive and prosperous.

-Re-negotiating all free trade treaties currently extant to prevent devastating job losses overseas.  I'm not sure how this could be done. It's not so much about protectionism.  It's how do we stay competitive here in the things we do, but it's also curtailing severe abuses to workers abroad.  

But even if say the Chinese are forbidden from using prison labor, they are still able to do the same thing there for a fraction of what a worker can do it for here.  

The free-trade promise is supposed to be we Americans will move on to advanced jobs that pay a living wage while the stoop labor and rote work jobs are shipped off-shore. But there aren't really any advanced jobs magically appearing and lately even jobs considered to be advanced (programming, lab work, attorney work and many more) are being off-shored.

I'm sure there will be more ideas on how to turn this around in the future.</description>
