Bush deserves a kick in the ass from everyone single one of those people who lost their job. How much longer will the citizens stand for this.

3. I Have Started Sending All of These Layoff |
|
Edited on Thu Sep-25-03 11:56 PM by mhr
announcements to my elected representatives just to remind them that we are watching.
It seems the least I can do to keep them informed.

But it's also good news for us. Layoff announcements are the ONLY thing that will throw a wrench in Bush's re-election plans.
I have come to the conclusion that the apathetic Americans will only be rousted into action by ONE THING, and that's job losses, home foreclosures, repossessions, etc.
It's terrible that people have to wait until the 11th hour to wake up, but it's better than never.

6. But the question is ... |
|
how do we get these jobs back.
My own company has transferred thousands of jobs overseas. How do we get them back?
Other than the obvious and odious when our pay gets low enough, we'll be a bargain and the jobs will come back.

7. We need representatives |
|
to tell these corporations that they can move their operations off shore, but that they can't sell it here, f they don't make it here. We need to realize that American workers and America its self has something to offer. We need to quit giving it away.

9. Most of the jobs now moving |
|
are information jobs. The manufacturing went in the last wave years ago. We haven't made a whole lot in America for quite a while now.

There's no way to compete with sweatshop foreign labor. These manufacturing jobs are gone. The only option for some of these people will be to go back to school and learn a new trade.
