The plantation way is to have one person working two part time jobs, instead of two people working full time.

Bartenders are already being replaced with kiosks that can mix any drink you want.

It’s time to pull out the long-term memory.

You’re looking at the Clinton legacy, in action; jobs shuffled off to China, low paying service industry jobs here. Remember when he bragged about the millions of jobs he created? All of them were low wage, service industry jobs.

Want more of it? Just elect “Billery”.

It will happen at some point.

This has been in the works for decades.

The manufacturing jobs numbers don't tell the complete picture simply because there is the lower numbers do to efficiency.

But, the trade agreements, globalization, national debt, illegal aliens etc have come home to roost.

One of the main problems a real 'populist' will have is that most members of either party are in agreement with their world view on such beliefs.

Perot was a gun grabber but he was correcting on the .Gov spending, the national debt and global wage arbitrage.

“My first reaction was to look where you are located. Good wages are available to a below average student with a Chemical Engineering Degree in Houston.”

That is such a common sense statement that it’s amazing that it even needs to be said. Go to where the jobs are! Geez.

First time I read that I thought it was “whiskey thinking”... which is similar but tastes better.

wage “increases” seem to be below the rate of inflation so wages are actually decreasing. have they accounted for inflation and what is the exact rate of inflation (price increases). i thought it has been around 3% annual but i have to check the latest.

then again the government is probably fudging the numbers to help Obama. it seems like food and energy prices are skyrocketing and those are to me the most important.
