Perhaps growing ranks of the unemployed will become cannon fodder for Bush's wars in the Middle East.

Perhaps Paul will finally pull his head out of his butt.

[Toddsterpatriot]

The last time I looked, Paul wasn't working in the manufacturing sector. When will he quit his useless job? Or export his crap and improve the balance of trade?

Why do liberals rebuke men and women who VOLUNTARILY go into the military? Simple answer: Liberals HATE the military. Screw the liberals. Er, I mean, the proressives.

Someone should inform the author that such posts are currently reserved for anally retentive journalists and pundits.

Or pat buchanan's butt.

Readers want to know why I have not reported on the payroll jobs statistics for the past two months.

Yeah, I woke up at 2am this morning wondering when PCR was going to address this. Now I can sleep again.

What an arrogant buffoon!

[curiosity]

What's with this paleo infatuation with manufacturing? I never quite understood why they think assembly line work is so superior to clerical office work.

No doubt, if this guy were forced to find a real job, he'd be in trouble.

[rhombus]

Build the castle walls. Shut out the outside...make it go away, wah, wah, wah!

[Toddsterpatriot]

What's with this paleo infatuation with manufacturing?

He'll never admit that we manufacture and export more than ever.

"I never quite understood why they think assembly line work is so superior..."

U-N-I-O-N

[NeoCaveman]

And yet I keep missing seeing all the people living in cardboard boxes.

I mean the number has to huge by now (/sarc)

What's with this paleo infatuation with manufacturing?

As far as paleos are concerned, the 19th Century was the golden age of civilization.

Those poor waitresses and bartenders. Gee, they make next to nothing. A waitress or bartender at a good watering hole will make more per hour than most blue collar workers ever will.

And since there is so much liesure expanding (hence the added wiatresses and bartenders) is it possible that some blue collar guys, like carpenters, framers, plumbers and electricians have been busy building the restaurants and bars and casinos? What about the beer distrubtor. He has to expand his fleet of truck drivers to deliver his goods. That means he has to buy another couple of Ford or Volvo trucks. Somebody has to make those trucks. And the bakery down the street has to add a new oven to keep pace with demand. Somebody has to make that industrial oven. And by golly, the start up microbrewery and local vintner have another place sell their product. And all these new places of liesure require utilities. The Gas company, electric utility and the water utility have to send their guys out to connect the services.

And there would be no demand for new restaurants and bars if there was not also a growth in disposable income. Must just be only bartenders and waitresses frequenting the new bars and restaurants.

This guy is a world class idiot.

[Toddsterpatriot]

Why does this guy write for Newsmaxx?

Somebody over there has a terrific sense of humor.

[Toddsterpatriot]

And since there is so much leisure expanding (hence the added waitresses and bartenders)

Your logic is going over his head. Now you see why the Bush administration didn't offer him a job.

There was an article in one of the LA Times yesterday about how manufacturers in Southern California are short employees. I believe they said a high school grad could be making upwards of $30 an hour after their apprenticeship was over.
