The Benefits of Globalization and phony "Free" Trade Policies!

Here we see how the conservative (and their DLC Democratic enablers) policy of union-busting, and NAFTA-style "free" trade agreements have worked out:


Median Income Falls, Household Income Slowing

The part of the American dream that says a man’s children will be better off than he was, has become a dream, not reality, according to an analysis of Census data released Friday.

A generation ago, American men in their thirties had median annual incomes of about $40,000 compared with men of the same age who now make about $35,000 a year, adjusted for inflation.

Household incomes rose during this period, only because wives returned to the work force either by choice or necessity. But things are great for the CEO class, namely the Republicans who run the corporations.

Of course, the men who run American companies don’t have too much to complain about. CEO pay increased to 262 times the average worker’s pay in 2005 from 35 times in 1978, according to the report’s analysis of Congressional Budget Office statistics.

We've haven't invested nearly enough in new industries, growing this economy, or focused on wage growth much in the last 30 years. But we have managed to pass numerous free (not fair) trade deals and passed numerous tax cuts skewed to the wealthy, with GOP and Democratic Leadership Council support. And we've been told by the media and their GOP masters that unions are the cause of our economic ills. Yet men in their thirties have lost $5,000 in annual income during this time, and until recently kept voting Republican.

During this 30 year period, Democrats were in control of the White House and Congress exactly 6 years.

Now, with the advent of advanced communications and computer technology, offshoring is being extended to white-collar and professional-level occupations. In the last few years, "information-based" jobs that once provided a decent middle-class living for millions of Americans are being moved overseas, and the move offshore is rapidly accelerating. Recent studies predict that as many as 3.4 million such jobs will be offshored in the coming decade.

The high-technology sector is particularly vulnerable to offshoring, and this includes the jobs and projects of business and technical writers. For example:

A recent survey found that 86% of corporate executives expect to send more technology jobs abroad in the next year, compared with 32% two years ago.
The Gartner Group estimates that 10 percent of all U.S. technology jobs will be moved offshore by 2005, and that up to 25 percent of traditional information technology jobs will be relocated from developed to developing countries by 2010.
According to the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) programming/software-engineering job are the most likely to go overseas (67 percent), followed by network design (37 percent) and web-development (30 percent). (Note that these three kinds of job categories generate the majority of technical writing work.)
Computer programmers that would cost $56 per hour in the United States are available in China for $12.50 per hour.
Law firms are employing legal assistants and paralegals in India for a third of the $18-24 per hour that they typically pay U.S. workers in these positions.
This year (2004) an estimated 150,000-200,000 individual tax returns were prepared in India, compared to only 1,000 in 2002 and 20,000 in 2003.

Regardless, governments have a duty to regulate market interactions to the the benefit of all citizens. Because immorality is dominant right now, doesn't mean it always will be. Your globalist fascist fantasy will soon crumble.
 
Lmao...!

We have workplace standards, minimum wage, etc. The concept that government exists to make sure labor is subjugated and victimized by corporate desires is a neocon lie.

I dunno...

Reaganomics was pure bullshit. NAFTA wasn't big enough to cause any serious effect, though.

When Reagan took office from Pres Peanut Carter, the US had double digit inflation, double digit interest rates, and near double digit unemployment. The top tax rate was 70% and the economy was in deep trouble. That is when the Misert Index was invented - the Pres Peanut legacy

Pres Reagan came in, cut the top rate to 28% and the revenues to the US government DOUBLED in 8 years

I lived through Pres Peanuts and Pres Reagan's economy

Pres Reagan proved tax cuts work - as Pres Bush is doing right now
