Illegal aliens and Nafta are destroying us from via our bank accounts. Low wage jobs are being eaten up by illegals while our mid to high level jobs are being shoveled over the atlantic and pacific at a rate that will only gain steam due to competitiveness issues. Unless something is done, we're in for a collapse that will make 29 look like the opening salvo at comic relief.

The "experts" keep telling us about the jobs that will replace what we're losing. I've seen them - shopping centers and resteraunts. The only reason those jobs exist is because of the jobs we've not yet lost. Competition will force the hands of the rest of the US manufacturing companies and their support operations - they will have to either export or close up shop. The only other viable alternative is to drastically and sharply cut wages.

In short, we're in a heap of trouble and the politicians are fiddling while the fire spreads.

I'd say it is more like they are throwing fuel onto the fire.
