Globalization was fine for US citizens till their companies dominated world trade and generated jobs at home but became a bad policy when things go awry and jobs get "outsourced". The fundamental fact is that Americans need to work harder for less to compete in the world economy. For long they have lived beyond their means on cheap credit and shirked work. It is high time they became responsible for their own lives, cut down their extravagant spending and work harder for their own and their company's future. No pain, no gain.
