Doesn't have to be that way if we cut both taxes and government spending to get the economy growing again. Large amounts of hard empirical data supporting my view here: http://www.economist.com/business-finance/displaystory.cfm?story_id=15604130

Sounds like its time to seal the borders and put Americans to work in more menial jobs that immigrants once took.

In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

:blink: I have a job. And I've invested in my education and positioned myself with specialty skills that people want and pay well for. Perhaps you don't understand what it means to be in business for one's self.

Since I'm an immigrant, he can have mine. Attempting to bring American engineering graduates up to a more exacting standard of communication and technical rigour is occasionally quite rewarding but frequently a little frustrating.

I should warn anyone attempting the feat, if you try to encourage them to use the word 'epistemiology' in their written work they're liable to start flinging poo. Presumably it's some kind of MIT tradition.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?
