Why does the media harp on the 750 people who lost their jobs because of Romney but they don' say anything about the 27,000 that are going to loose their jobs because of Hewlet Packard? There is not a bit of difference. That's just business.

Maybe they should. Probably do a better job than the current administration.

? How you figure?

The current government needs to be over thrown and rebuilt, by the people for the people, like it was intended.

Throwing different puppeticians into office won't fix a damn thing.

At least they know what the economy is all about, that's why they are getting rid of 27,000 people. It's called cutting back as Washington should do but they don't know how.

HP is part of the economic problem. Instead of cutting back jobs in the U.S, they should be more focused on keeping jobs in America, not outsourcing to other countries.

Most of the jobs they are cutting are outsourced jobs.

This ignores the market. This kind of thinking is what continues to keep your head firmly in the sand. Our market is now a global market place, and no amount of wishing otherwise is going to change that. Federal laws make doing business more expensive here to create the same product. Call your law makers and explain to them that THEY are the problem, they are the ones running businesses out of town. A job is only worth what it takes to make a profit off of the service, or the product. That fact can never change, and in a world market you either compete with the rest of the world, or find a new market. That will never change regardless of the platitudes and promises of politicians.

You're right why pay someone in the U.S. to do the same job someone in China or Mexico can do? It's cheaper, and that's all that matters, right?
