My did you see the segment on ABC on Bush's
Edited on Wed Jan-21-04 06:48 PM by candy331
plan to give money for training for people who have lost jobs. They interviewed a guy named Chuck looked late like he was late 40's/early fifties lost his high tech job and was delivering pizza. He said the training was good but he doesn't have time to take off to go school he has to work and is trying to make it. It ended with the poor man in tears says his wife and I think daughter was very helpful. This is serious and I think people are slowly coming around.

Wrong board I just got carried away watching this man.

1. Bush cut job training 3 years in a row
But now he's going to "expand" it. He's so full of shit I can't look at him.

3. yep, and the poor guy will probably get BushCo training, only to find
that within a year or two, his new job has been shipped overseas.

2. Here's the real punch in the gut...
Those job retraining programs at community colleges...
already exist! All * will do with the $ he's asking for is slide it into repuke districts where his state-level minions need a little boost come election time.

4. Right on.
That's the same blueprint behind each and every thing this misadministration did.

5. I saw it, or most of it
but missed the actual number of people reported in the segment who left the unemployment roll last month? If someone heard it & could inform me here, or heads up CT/PT viewers to watch for this newscast.

it was a good story on what many are experiencing. First hand to say the least.

thanks
