Well the trouble with "free trade" and open immigration is that both parties are on the same side.

In a two party system, if a problem can't be blamed on the other party, then it isn't considered a problem.

[A. Pole]

It is true that the current problems are a result of Clintons policies and in fact the real results of his policies has yet to bear fruit-the worst is yet to come! However, Bush is in pratice following the same policies as Clinton.

And those policies started before Clinton. Ross Perot was debating them in 1992.

Yes Bush, as in the current form of the policies.

You had some things like border with Mexico not
being properly controlled never been so open
as it began to be under Bush Sr.
Further, some of the things like trade
with China began because of the cold war,
but rather than end them when the cold war ended
they were changed into an effort to support
Big Business and Globalism at the expense of
US national interests.
Starting with Bush Sr. and continued by
Clinton and Bush Jr. the US has never before been
governed by policies that have so little concern
for the welfare of the United States.

It is not so hard to blame on the other party anyway. People have short memory.

I think the whole economy started downward under Clinton's attack on Microsoft.

I noticed that as well but no one has ever agreed with me when I have mentioned it. They couldn't connect any dots.

Bush is to blame. Bush could create over one million american jobs in one day, if he suspended the H1-B and L-1 visa programs. Bush could also propose legislation to end outsourcing, or tax it, and end tax benefits of companies who replace american factories with foreign ones. If Bush did not support the elimination of american jobs, he would have done something about it, it is so easy to do.
