SINCE MANY COMPANIES ARE NOW DOING LAIDOFF CAUSE OTHERS ARE DOING IT, FOR THOSE THAT CAN SUSTAIN THEIR EMPLOYEES SHOULD BE REWARDED WITH TAX BREAKS OR SOMETHING. AND IF THE COMPANY CAN AFFORD TO HIRE PEOPLE, WHY CAN'T THE COMPANY GET SOME AIDS FROM THE GOVERNMENT? WHY WAITING FOR THE COMPANY TO READY TO FILE BANKRUPTCY THEN HELP? BY THEN, COMPANY ALREADY IN TROUBLE AND ALREADY SENT THEIR EMPLOYEES OUT THE DOOR. ALSO, COMPANIES NOT DOING OFFSHORING SHOULD GET SOME BENEFITS AS WELL. OTHERWISE, MORE JOBS WILL GET CUT IN THE U.S.
