WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: September 02, 2003 New Bush official to delve into vanishing factory jobs -- "Of the 2.7 million jobs the U.S. economy has lost since the recession began in early 2001, 2.4 million were in manufacturing. The downturn has eliminated more than one in 10 of the nation's factory jobs." (Comments: Mystery of the 'jobless recovery')

And let's not forget that many IT jobs are heading overseas, too. You remember those? The supposedly "safe, middle-class, white-collar" jobs that would always be available here once the low-skill manufacturing workers "retrained and re-educated" themselves? Well, guess what--they're going bye-bye too. The middle class continues to vanish. And Bush & Co. couldn't be happier. See how everyone's spending themselves into debt while wages stagnate or fall? This is a good thing! It means everyone will soon be at the mercy of corporte executives and that pesky ol' labor movement will finally dry up. I'm not sure where to turn next... if the Republicans don't know how to run a sound economy, and the Democrats are trying to imitate them... who do we vote for?

The last ballot I voted on had five or more candidates running for each office. If you can't see past elephants and donkeys, don't be surprised that your trip to the zoo goes horribly awry. Carefully examine your ballot. Please, don't feed the corporations. Posted by: Jim Tule on September 4, 2003 10:32 AM
