Why is the government used in other life and death situations?

Just a decade ago, it was primarily clothing and other goods that companies were farming out. Now it is increasingly tech, communication jobs and things of that ilk. We have not begun to reap what could be the outcome of all this.
I think that says more about our governments punishing businesses than anything else.

I am very concerned when middle eastern oil billionairs buy large parts of the American economy. I am even concerned about Inbed buying budwiser.

I am baffeled when I hear (for the last 20 years) that we are shipping jobs over seas, but we continue to have very low unemployment and at the same time, see the average income rise, standard of living rise, purchasing power for all economic groups rise....

its still fluff, and anyone who is "pro-choice" supports abortion. period.

suck it up. its what you believe.
That's a lie.

I don't believe abortion is right accept in rare occasions to preserve the life and health of the mother. However, I also don't believe the Government is capable of adequately addressing the issue. My wife and I (your wife and you) are far more qualified to choose if an abortion is actually necessary than Washington.

Ferd, what I'm talking about has not been happening for 20 years. The types of jobs being shipped overseas and the kinds of companies moving overseas now is very different and very recent.

I believe in choosing life. I am also against killing babies. But I don't think the Government is capable of adequately addressing the abortion issue.

hogwash.
Who said that? I believe abortion is wrong. But I don't trust empowering the Government to seize women to make them give birth. I also don't trust the Government to make what could be the most difficult and serious health discision a woman might be forced to make.
