Incredible doublespeak. Whose jobs?

This is politiciansspeak. Both Dems and Republicans know that the base will vote for them, no matter what they say or do. Next comes the lying to the weak minded people who could vote either way. "Losing your job is good for you."And believe it or not, many will buy this line, and will go to the polls gladly.

Let me let you in on some politico economist speak:

Lets say you had a factory making wigits in Oregon. Right next door, you have your corporate office which employs the accounting crew and the sales dept. (about 100 people total)

If that company then decides to close the wigit factory and move in to China...

The statistics people will claim that "trade has created" every job left in Corp HQ.

Sometimes the more honest ones use the term "rely on" rather than "create", but most use the term "create".
