Very quickly another election season will be upon us.
Much is at stake, and on my daily drive home, important items are ticked off ad naseum... health care (and who will have access in the coming years), the state of education in this country (dreadful), the endless wars fought on foreign soil and perhaps more importantly, jobs for those who want to work.
If one listens to the legislative branch in this country discuss the issues affecting most Americans, the one item least discussed is JOBS. It's just not on their radar, yet most of the new crop in Congress was elected to address just that... jobs, jobs and jobs.
Somehow, the message has gotten lost, sadly for those trying to make their lives work in an environment more concerned with privatizing everything in this country, while at the same time outsourcing jobs to other countries (willing to underpay workers). Michele Bachmann is even suggesting that we drop the minimum federal wage in order to compete with China.
I like the deep thinkng on her part... what a great idea... let's race to the bottom so we can "compete" with China.
