It is stupid to keep paying money to a guy who is sitting home waiting

In more civilized countries, when a job for which you have trained or
educated yourself disappears or you are injured to the point you can't
work your trade, the government sends you back to school to learn a
newer trade, and helps you support your family in the meantime.

The problem with the federal government doing that is, by the time you
got the bureaucracy in place, the job you were training for might be
obsolete and the government would make so many of those tradesmen that
job market would be flooded.
They can't seem to do anything on a small scale and most of the money
ends up going into the pockets of a few special interests with big
lobbying budgets.
I heard the other day that lobbyists pump 1.3 million dollars a
legislative minute into our congress. (based on the number of hours
congress is in session)

The problem with the large-scale private sector is that it is
multinational and doesn't give a damn about the United States or
Americans. We need a major restructuring of our society, including any
tax laws that in any way encourage corporations to send jobs overseas.

We also need to step up our support of free trade unions for workers
overseas in slave or near slave labor countries. We have to have a world
in which there is no place for exploitative corporations to hide.

You would have to start with Government Motors. They took some of our
bailout money and started up a research department in China with it.

That was Bush's fault.
