This is where "free Trade" and the World Trade organization has brought us... Previous recessions came about when the demand for goods declined.. people were laid off from their jobs .. so unemployment went up... but as the economy recovered the workers were "called back" and began producing again..

This recession was not caused by a decrease in the demand for products...but the influx of cheaper goods by 3rd world countries ...and then the exodus of American companies to those 3rd world markets to stay in business and compete with those 3rd world producers..not hampered by onerous EPA and other federal regulations.. not handicapped by our state and federal tax system and labor that wants a living wage ..

So there are no more middle class jobs to return to.. Even many semi skilled jobs that tried to retrain are gone.. there is no where for the uneducated or high school grad to go to be "middle class".. College grads are waiting tables now ...

Sorry but we have outsourced the American dream
