Unsecure Americans...who'd a thought we'd let that happen
It's not just that jobs are gone. It's that few good jobs are left. Few jobs that offer something they call "job security." People know this reality. Wall street doesn't care about it much, but it should. Confidence is related to certainty. More over the river.

3. Ross Perot was right, "that giant sucking sound is Jobs leaving"

..and neither party , neither Democorps nor Republicorps ..are about to change anything. They don't care if you have a job. They don't care if your family eats or has a place to sleep.. just as long as they get their monkey paws into the free-money jar before you do, before you go spending money on crazy things like health care and highways.


We made fun of Ross Perot, the media mocked his bow tie and his flip charts... but he knew something none of the other parasites in Washington knew about.. he was a successful business man. He knew what he was talking about. He knew about real business and the bottom line.

I guess 'ol Ross Perot gets the last laugh on us.... NAFTA gave us the SHAFTA... and that's the way Washington likes it.
