The reasons can be traced to these four acronyms: NAFTA, GATT, WTO, PNTR.

He left out the dot.com boom and 9-11. The dot.com boom put people in unstable jobs that were doomed to disappear. 9-11 erased $8 trillion from our capital. That will stop a lot of job creation. Our annual GDP is still only about $10 trillion.

The 2.4 million job increase so far will soon start to take accelerate and this commentary will look plain silly.

"9-11 erased $8 trillion from our capital ..."

That is a very specific number, one which is similiar to our National Debt. Where did it come from?
