when we sell more, it means more jobs for us.

Well, you've swallowed the koolaid alright, but when we buy more than we sell, it means fewer jobs .... and the jobs left are paying less because of the influx of cheap labor.

How in the world does the average American (like Bush's old lady with the three jobs) come out ahead while competing against incredibly cheap labor abroad and falling wage rates at home.

Meanwhile the top 5% (you don't even wanna think about the top 1%) watches with glee as there annual incomes increase at rates that are HUGE multiples of that of the peons.

At the same time you count yourself blessed because you just bought a shiny new power mower at WalMart.

BTW, interesting word if you're into irony, peon.

Talk about irony. Your post could've been written by Karl Marx.
