The one thing that would have helped them to get long term unemployment under control they reject ? It will get worse in the years to come and we are headed on the same path. A global economic meltdown is right around the corner if you talk to people who understand the derivitives market. Misery loves company and our bone headed politicians are now talking about universal healthcare and we have some huge companies who are going to default on their pension payments and the US Pension Guarnentee program is going to stick all of us with the bill.
John, You have valid fears, but America could outwork any nation in the world, per capita. And this would remain true even if we shipped our unwanted guests back home. I have wondered why no one has pointed out that if we send all of the illegal aliens back to Mexico and other places, Our economy will blossom. Wages will have to be raised to attract American workers again. The job market will be good, and the companies will have to treat the working middle class better. With the extra money in American's pockets, they will buy more, pay more taxes. and be even more productive. Our health care costs, welfare costs, and all government costs will go down also.
Would some patriotic politician with gonads please step forward and tell the truth, and get this work started?
