Be mindful of where you tread Mr. Russotto. We "baby boomers" still have
considerable life left in us. I for one, am NOT ready to be put out to
pasture. We, the over 50 crowd, are the largest group in American history,
the best educated and the most over looked. It is becoming more and more
difficult for over 50 workers to find employment and when we do we have to
take pay cuts that put us at 15 to 20 year ago incomes. Why, because shits
like you think we can't cut it anymore. I play softball with guys 1/2 my
age. I can hit farther, harder and more often (800 avg.), throw harder,
farther and run the basses better. I'm not as fast as they are, but I make
up for it with EXPERIENCE.

We were taught to stick with it. None of this switch jobs every 3 years, or
get caught up in a "RIF" because some top dog fucked up and has to reduce
his working force so he can keep his golden parachute and his top floor
corner office. What that shit forgot was who got him to the dance in the
first place.

How old are you Mr. Russotto? Where will you be in 25 years? I sincerely
hope you are not treated by the younger crowd then the way you treat us. We
are the most wasted asset in the USA. By your last name alone I would have
guessed you to be Catholic, God fearing and family oriented.

Yet, you want to bring in millions of unemployed workers we can't possible
deal with (we don't have the jobs, neither do they) as well as the aging
Mexican population. How do you propose to pay for this. Who are you going to
"RIF" here to put the younger Mexicans to work? What are you going to do
with the older Mexicans who can't work. Our hospitals are over run now. The
language of business is English, even if they were educated enough they
couldn't converse. The Mexican standard of living is 1/5 ours, how are you
going to pay for bringing them up to our standard? What makes you think they
even want the USA's help? Being a bit presumptuous aren't we? Why don't we
take care of ourselves before we take on another project we can't possibly
solve. I believe there is plenty to fix right here in the good ole USA FIRST
don't you?
