Let them eat Adam Smith and keep their invisible hands to themselves ...

U.S. Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Thomas Donohue says those who lose their jobs to off-shoring -- about a quarter of a million folks a year -- should "stop whining."

Actually, I think those selfish grumblers should stop their complaining too because they're not the only ones who are suffering.

If it weren't for the million-plus jobs lost to export of jobs overseas since President Bush took office, he wouldn't still be struggling to create his first net new job since the Supreme Court made him president way back when.

So, personally, I'd like to join my voice to Tom Donohue's and advise these whiners to start beating the pavement for a new service sector job and focusing on the sufferings of our fearless leader rather than always having it be about me, me, me!
