We all survived, our father's got new jobs and life went on. Too bad we've lost more than a million jobs in the last year. But I am sure there are jobs aplenty for everyone, including the aging GM workforce. |

You now, being a big time Union backer and flack..er..writer/editor, I'm surprized that you haven't have your tires slashed and your windows broken when you visit all these auto plants and Union job sites you keep talking about.

It is amazing that as the population increases and more of the youth come onto the rolls of job seekers that we don't have 50, 75 or 100 million people out of work. If we are to believe the naysayers then our percentage of jobless in the USA would increase over time without ever decreasing. The strange thing is that it keeps fluctuating between 4% and 7% regardless of the size of our population? Can you explain any of this Harry? |

When you add in the 20-40 million illegal immigrants into the equation, who will work for minimum wage, it's easy to see why unemployment of US citizens is so high. -- John H. |
