I guess that's why worker productivity has increased by 20% since 2000,
but wages have only increased by 1%. Want to guess where all that money
went?

Thunder, do you really believe the 'worker' has increased his output by
20%? Does that line make sense to you?

The fact that you read it in an anti-Bush article doesn't make it true.

This will tell you all you need to know - a fact fudger...

"Prior to his service with the Congress, Lilly served as Director of
Campaign Services for the Democratic National Committee, Central
States Coordinator in the McGovern Presidential Campaign and as a bill
drafter for the Missouri legislature."

Check out a few of these names on the FEC sight.

Totally unbiased wouldn't you say?

On the surface, it sounds like the premise of the article has some merit,
i.e., productivity has increased, but the profits therefrom have not gone
to the employees as in the past. If the profits from American corporations,
like the auto industry, have gone up so remarkably in the past eight years,
one must wonder why they're all on the verge of bankruptcy.

To lay the whole issue at the feet of Bush simply highlights the stupidity
and bias in the author.

But it provides good quotes for liberals.

And, if the Center for American Progress says Lily is and 'expert', then he
must be... correct?
