republican policy dictates they break EVERYTHING they can as fast as they can
then blame the Democrats when they can't clean it up.

Their JOB has become one of ONLY protecting their own jobs--not ours.

The PROBLEM is that they have also infiltrated our party--making progress hard to attain.:(

1. My theory is that they plan to cut everyone's wages to match those of the low-paying jobs
that have been outsourced. I'm guessing that a number of those corporations may have grown weary of third-world country living & are wanting to return to the U.S., except for the fact that they don't want to lose the profits gained by moving overseas in the first place.

So, to get these probably-homesick companies back, the RepubliCorps are trying to give them a hand by starting with the unions, which would be a double win since the unions back Democrats. After lowering wages & benefits for union workers, non-union companies can lower wages & benefits however & whenever they wish.

If that were accomplished, the outsourced companies would come back in droves, with the intent of paying third-world country wages. The RepubliCorps would bring back jobs, but at what cost to the workers whose wages are already lower than the cost-of-living rate? If my theory turns out to be correct, it could cause a major revolution.
