American Job Losses - Who Cares?

Story on NPR, Former S.C. Textile Workers Look for Ways to Cope, talks about Americans in South Carolina losing their jobs.

“Donnie Ingram will be out of work around the end of this month. He has been laid off by the South Carolina Company that he served for more than 30 years. He is spending the final days walking the floors of the massive textile mill — places like the sewing room and an area called the bleachery.”

“The machines inside are being moved to Brazil, he says.”

All the politicians are talking about a stimulus package to head off a recession. Why not stop the flow of our jobs out to other countries all to line the pockets of fat-rich-don't-give-a-damn-about America CEOs?
