THEY lay off American and Mexican farm workers in central Washington and California, and farm workers in Hawaii, then fly in cheaper Thai farm workers [2007], then claim they cannot find enough American or Mexican workers! THEY replace American IT workers with foreign IT workers, then claim they cannot find enough skilled American workers! After the passage of Sarbanes-Oxley some years back, a survey was conducted of Fortune 500 CEOs, and it was found that over 83 percent were unable to read a simple financial statement. Appears the problem doesn't reside with the young American student or worker, but a severe shortage of competent CEOs is the major problem. Another clown writes another clownish book - - ignores that 7 million jobs have been offshored with the resultant 1 to 3 jobs which depended on those offshored jobs subsequently disappearing [for a total of 15 to 20 million jobs gone], and the problem is one of self-reliance, so sayeth this clown author!?!? From 1979 to 2012, 84 percent of economic wealth went to the top 1 percent! Can't this clownish author do simple arithmentic? Ho, hum, . . . .bet I know how this dude voted on all those free-trade agreements which offshored the jobs, and bet I can even guess how much he made in payoffs for voting for them! [I note in your author bio you avoided any military service. What exactly did you learn at Oxford, Ben? ? ?]
