Here is an excerpt from Patrick Buchanan's excellent book: The Great Betrayal: How American Sovereignty and Social Justice Are Being Sacrificed to the Gods of the Global Economy:
"Where did the jobs go? Farther south than Dixie, farther west than Hawaii: first to Japan, Taiwan, Korea, and Hong Kong; now to Mexico, China, Indonesia, and all across Asia. Some are unconcerned about losing these 'dead-end jobs' in 'sunset industries.' 'I'm a conservative futurist,' says Newt Gingrich. 'We must accelerate America's entry into the Third Wave Information Age.' But not every American belongs to the cognitive elite. Not every American is equipped by nature or nurture to 'accelerate' into a 'Third Wave Information Age.' And when we are rid of all those obsolete industrial jobs, what do we do with the obsolete workers who used to perform them? Who takes care of their families?"
What is your answer, Mr. President?
