Lay Off The Non Americans First

Microsoft, the software giant, is laying off more than 5000 jobs worldwide, in an effort to cut costs and preserve profitabilty.

Senator Charles Grassley sent a letter to Steve Balmer, current CEO of Microsoft saying that they have a "moral obligation to protect American workers first".

This is an exaple of "protectionism" the definition of which I posted a couple of days ago on this blog.
