SENATE GOP BLOCKS VETERANS JOBS BILL: Sen. Veterans' Affairs Chairwoman Patty Murray (D-Wash.) said the cost of the bill, a billion dollars over five years, is offset; that a vote to block the measure is tantamount to saying the nation has done enough for veterans. "Despite the fact that we have paid for this bill, that 1 in 4 young veterans are out of work, that veterans suicides are outpacing combat deaths, that more & more veterans are coming home, we're not going to invest in them."

'I'm sick to my stomach': anger grows in Illinois at Bain's latest outsourcing plan




The Sensata plant in Freeport is profitable and competitive, but its majority owner, Bain Capital, has decided to ship jobs to China – and forced workers to train their overseas replacements.

The shock of losing a precious job in a town afflicted by high unemployment is always hard. A foundation for a stable family life and secure home instantly disappears, replaced with a future filled with fears over health insurance, missed mortgage payments and the potential for a slip below the breadline.

But for Bonnie Borman – and 170 other men and women in Freeport, Illinois – there is a brutal twist to the torture. Borman, 52, and the other workers of a soon-to-be-shuttered car parts plant are personally training the Chinese workers who will replace them.

It's a surreal experience, they say. For months they have watched their plant being dismantled and shipped to China, piece by piece, as they show teams of Chinese workers how to do the jobs they have dedicated their lives to.

"When we get [Romney and Ryan] in, you know what's going to happen? You are going to see a big change, you're going to see number one that America is going to be respected again around the world...All this turmoil that's taking place, you're going to see them look up and say guess what, the American people have spoken and maybe we need to cut it out a little bit, maybe we need to tone it down a little bit, because now we have real men in the White House. (Audience member: 'No girly men!') That's right. No girly men."
