Only one way to find out, but the gutless will never let it happen. There will be ''compromise'' and the azzraping of America will continue.

I agree wholeheartedly, but what are the poor families with earners in those industries going to do for work???
There's only so much IT to go around. Besides, even that industry will be completely outsourced some day.

That industry is massively outsourced already. You may be surprised to learn that it's not to cut costs though, it's because American students aren't qualified to do the work.

Obama logic:

Cutting $100 billion in government spending would be devastating to the economy.

Cutting $50 billion in targeted government spending and raising $50 billion in taxes would be peachy.

Either way, $100 billion comes out of the overall economy. One way protects the government sector at the expense of the private sector. The other way cracks the Obama Cone of Protection.

Welcome to austerity! Let the flames begin. I expect to see government workers and defense contractors burning tires in the streets. Huh what......"The Bachelor" is down to three ladies.....

Wolf, I borrowed 'em. LOL Can't afford the barbecue sauce though.

Doc, we'll become self-reliant by barterin', flippin, and rescuin' bars'. Just select something that matches your skill set & you're off to your first million.🍺
It happens! No really. Watch TrueTV some time.

But in all seriousness, the DC metro area (especially northern Virginia) is full of military contractors. They're going to be hit especially bad.

Are you saying that Americans don't have the skills to do IT work and that is the reason for outsourcing? Is that what you really believe?

You might be surprised at how this is becoming more the reason and less purely about cost.
