"the problem with that is while developing countries are retooling and retraining their workforce, the USA does not have something to retool and retrain to."
My response to that would be: I see your statement to be a deserved indictment of the American educational system.

hmmm... so I go to private schools, and private universities. I've trained myself with private funding for new emerging technologies. My job is outsourced and the data center I've worked at for 6 years has moved to another state or even another country. It's now imperative for me to find something else to work in since the tech sector is now contracting. While this isn't much different than the steel workers of Allentown and the autoworkers of Detriot, it's still an issue that crops up.
I don't see how that's a deserved indictment of the American Educational system. Especially for those that have been contstantly training and learning funded by their own dollars, finding themselves with the rug pulled out from under them and now all their training and experience is worthless.
