For "MY" employment problems? I didn't have a *problem* till his policy made it ok for 50 cent a day labor in China and 1/3 my wage rate in Mexico to compete with me and be called "fair". Know what a leveraged desk that earns top marks consistantly and never fails or falls down on the job is? We all got a break when Delphi split their support desk from GM's. I've had two good raises in 4 years to get to 30k after entering the position at the bottom of entry level rate and didn't pursue either of them - they were given to me from recognition of my work.

Delphi was so happy with our work they wouldn't consider getting rid of us because of how important we were to their operations until they found that they could get people to do it in another country for a third of my rate and no benefits and no constitutional protections. Ya'll shout supply and demand in defense of profits; but, when it comes to working in this country, you can't live with supply and demand in our market and want to run and get a new set of rules. One standard for ya'll and another for us.

Do I blame this president - sure do - it's his policy that did it. The bottom feeders that are running off to profit from the new slave labor are just reacting to what his policy allows. He's responsible. He can wear it. I'm putting the responsibility for it squarely and directly where it belongs. It makes all the sense in the world, unless you're trying to make excuses and duck. I have a lot of personal respect for the man. I've been one of his biggest cheerleaders and don't regret it for when it was done. This is beyond the pale. And to be consistent, instead of a hypocrit, blame goes where blame is due.
