Reply #21: My parents' jobs were outsourced to Asia back in the 70s [View All]

Factory sewing/tailoring work in New York City went to the south and to Asia back in that era of manufacturing. The giant sucking sound that Ross Perot talked about actually started long before Clinton. Just to put some perspective on it. But NAFTA surely shot the working class in the heart.

This is why I appreciate Thom Hartmann so much. His analysis of the war on the working class is spot on. Things weren't entirely flush back in the 50's through '70s. But things have been degrading since the '70s, in my experience.
