Promoted as "it will make products cheaper" and "create new jobs as the automated processes will need people to be skilled to maintain and program the machines" (made elsewhere). Tell that to the numerous "displaced" employees whose jobs were replaced by a robot and 1 "maintainer". American companies are closing and/or offshoring their factories/service positions (lower product costs=bigger profit). Our technological skills (and basic educational levels) are falling far behind. Federal assistance is stretched beyond it's means, and the families paying the taxes are unable to afford basic health/dental care themselves (now VERY MUCH "profit" based businesses/ corporations-hypocritical oath?)

Unemployment is high, people aren't spending money and losing their homes. The candidates promote more government assistance, but NONE are saying they'll bring jobs home or encourage companies to stay here. Where does the money for assistance come from? Taxes. Close the door, increase employment.

You can't really believe that he can bring those jobs back do you? The WTO is not going to feel sorry for the United States and just say O.K. you can have it all back. NAFTA never should have been signed into law to start with. The American worker was sold out. Those companies that left aren't coming back here. They have no reason to. They have $2.00 labor (or less), no environmental garbage to put up with and in most cases, offer no benefits to their employees. Why would they come back here?

Why each and all of the blame ought to fall on the President? a million. The President makes now regulations, Congress does! 2. The President levies no taxes or breaks, Congress does! 3. The President Spends no funds, Congress does! 4. The President makes no Treaties (NAFTA inc.), Congress does! 5. The President nominates Judges, Congress approves them! 6. The President Nominates his cupboard, Congress ought to approve them! 7. The President Nominates extreme score protection stress promotions, Congress ought to approve them! 8. The president would not make conflict, Congress does which comprise the "Troop Surge" and all expenditures! 9. The Congress and the splendid courtroom can declare themselves "In recess" and take a holiday. The White residing house and the President are constantly in "In consultation"! the place is the Lazy Congress? i'm going to tell you "With the Lobbyists"! they are the situation, precise right down to the beef barrel spending, Earmarks. The President won't be in a position to even do this!

It's economists with PhDs who control all decisions related to jobs, outsourcing, trade agreements, tarriffs, etc.

Congress and the president are paralyzed from action unless they confer with the Fed Chairmen, his leutenants, and various other professional economists. Please don't think for one minute that any elected politician has anything to do with this travesty of throwing Americans out of work. It is the pinheaded slimeballs with PhDs who are more than happy to take the blame for this. Clinton signed most of the treaties - most favored nations treaty with China in 1998 and Nafta in 1994. However, the republicans also wanted it. Why? Because the infallible Economists said it was best for us.

Look at the recent economic stimulus package. Both houses of Congress and the President were begging the Fed Chairman to safe us from a recession. 535 elected representatives and the Prez weren't smart enough to figure out what was best for the economy. They had to beg the pinhead to help us through our misery. It's a f-ing disgrace.

We need to stop allowing pinheaded economists who have no loyalty to the USA to control decisions that affect hundreds of millions of Americans.
