Comments on: CBS/NY Times Poll: The Best Jobs Are Behind Us?

[conspiracygirl]

Yet the public will hypnotically vote for the same people, both Republican and Democrat, who created our current crises -- even though these politicians cling to the same thought processes that put us where we now are.

So who else is to blame...? Hint: we the voters.

There are people out there who have been warning of this situation, pleading for us to pay attention, jumping up and down, posting videos and charts, criss-crossing the country making speeches....

But since we don''t like the message we call them kooks and ask the government to give us more of the same. And then we indignantly say the country is on the wrong track -- which is still true -- but we really don''t want to be on the right track because that might mean doing something differently.

You might TRY listening to Ron Paul for more than a 3 second sound byte and then voting for the Libertarian candidates this fall.

All one needs to do is see how many jobs are outsourced and how many are replaced with ones of equal or greater pay. Then the tale is told. this is not rocket science. We are no longer an industrial nation...we are consumers who soon will all be maxed out and unable to consume.

And can they sleep at night? Those who are responsible. You betchum and on a very nicely feathered bed.
As a former poster said A BOTTOMLESS PIT OF GREED...masked in falsehoods. If the Bible came true this minute...POOF...they''d all be swallowed up by the earth. Sad. So sad...

Wow I don''''t think I have ever seen a more ridiculous set of ignorant comments in my life. Don''''t tell me. Most of you are arts students stuck working at Starbucks.

Also, aptitudes do not flourish or get the chance in an economy with playing field being gradually removed.
It is the openness of the opportunity for the aptitudes to flourish & not just the simply acedemic prowess that give rise to innovation.
As a result, innovations take place in the playing fields where the aptitudes have a chance.
Down the road we will see more growth & innovation in places which get the play fields.
Growth depends on innovation, aptitudes & opportunities for the aptitudes to breath.

The more the corporatons are able lay off & send the good paying employment out in order to cut the cost, the higher the stock value goes.
This has been the new behavior of our national economy.
Booming values of stocks give a false impresson.
How can it be good for the hard working who lose their jobs, as a result of outsourcing, which in turn boosts the stock values for the richer in the game?
Is it true Uncle Sam gives incentives and rewards like tax breaks to corporations who send the employment out?
or is it just a sound byte.
The democratic contenders say they are going to stop rewarding those who outsource?
Is it possible for Hillary or Obama to break away from the outsourcing game & bring back the factories from China, bring back the IT jobs and, make it a land of opportunity for us, instead of the overseas destination.

Thanks to the economic policies of the Bush family, "Wild Bill" Clinton, Ronald "Gonzo" Reagan, Corporate America, and neocon Fascist Nazis Republicans everywhere, the USSA economy has returned to a "cottage" economy. An economy where you are in business for yourself, hang a sign out by the street, work out of your home office, basement, or garage, and wait for whoever might use your services to ring your doorbell.

If you need transportation, you either use a bicycle, buy a horse and wagon (the Amish had it RIGHT all along!) or WALK! We''ll generate elctricity by building windmills, burn wood to keep warm, and use paper and stamps instead of a phone!

The Bushies and neocon Fascist Nazis Republicans have brought us BACK 200 years!!!!!!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!
sig heil, (more of the same) McCain!!!!

[hypnotoad72]

We need less capitalism (or none at all) and much more government.

Like China?

Now I''ll agree, people need to pull their weight, but right now it''s not about pulling weight; it''s pulling kinky body parts to get off on cheap and poorly made garbage, regardless of quality or loyalty because cheap junk breaks more quickly, hence a longer revenue stream (the theory believing this system is built on common sense, which it isn''t). The fact other nations have economies that make what we deem low wages goldmines for them only leads to one conclusion.

And cbscrash07, one does not need knowledge as much as one needs to shed all scruples. Given the state of today''s youths in America, maybe gen-Y will turn out to be mega-rich after all...

After the outsourcing fiasco period of Bush one I''m afraid good jobs and the middle class have all but vanished. It is up to us to begin anew to reshape our new standard of living.

The hands off business propaganda suggests resources are infinite here in the good old U.S. In reality our intellectual resources have been purposely curtailed. If you are a college grad your education may get you an interview with a fast food employer.

To begin anew in ernest wages must be liveable, and education must be meaningfully reflect the needs of a viable standard of living.
