REAL ART (and politics and culture)

REAL ART (and politics and culture): "This is why the American public is unaware that higher paid jobs in export and import-competitive industries are being phased out along with engineering and other professional 'knowledge jobs' and replaced with lower paid jobs in domestic services. The replacement of higher paid jobs with lower paid jobs is one reason for the decline in median household income over the past five years. It is not a large decline, but it is a decline. How can it be possible for the economy to be doing well when median household income is not growing and when economic growth is based on increased consumer indebtedness?"

So, yeah, it'd be great if all the low paying jobs were going overseas and we could train for higher paying ones here...
only it's the higher paying jobs going overseas...
get it now?
