If things are so good why do we feel so bad?

re: If Things are so good why do we feel so bad.
The Walmartization of America is derived from an anorexic obsession with cutting costs, continuous productivity, moving production to China, and outsourcing white-collar and professional jobs to India. Unlike Ford whose $5/day pay was specifically created to allow his workers to afford the products they built, these companies do not understand if you have no job, you cannot buy the product, no matter how cheap it has been made. In the not-so-distant world of 'hollow corporations', the only jobs left here will be top management. Formerly skilled workers will have to contend with low-paying retail positions if they can find work at all. Even dual income families will be hard pressed to pay the increasingly higher insurance, health costs, taxes, tuition, and eek out a modest living. The end result, I fear, is the death of the middle class. The decade of 00s will be long remembered as when the standard of living fell for the average American. Today's youth and college graduates could well be the first generation NOT to economically exceed their parents. Why get a college degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Accounting, or management if your careerfield is being outsourced off-shore (Pity the two time loser: the plant worker whose plant moved aboard who went to the effort to learn the computer field only to see his new job gone likewise). My advice to my sons: Don't go to college. Learn a craft. At least plumbers, painters, and electricians will always be needed and probably never outsourced. No doubt we will look back at the 90s as the "Good Old Days."
