More American jobs moving overseas

A few days ago RF Micro announced it would relocate much of its work from its Greensboro, North Carolina plant to China. 80 local jobs will be lost at the microchip plant.

And yesterday Dan River, a textiles plant that has been in operation for 126 years in Danville, Virginia, announced it would be closing down. It was a little over a year ago that Dan River was bought by a company based in India.

About time to post on this blog a video of James McMurtry declaring the obvious: "We Can't Make It Here Anymore".

(By the way, I don't agree with everything depicted in this video, especially about blindly supporting unions and the Democrat party... but I think otherwise the style of this clip describes things pretty darned well.)
