An editorial from the Wisconsin State Journal
January 8, 2004

The United States Department of Labor announced this week that, over the
course of last year, American businesses cut 1,236,426 jobs in 2003,
exposing the lie of President Bush's so-called economic "recovery."

Far from easing up, the cuts increased as 2003 went on - the final
quarter of the year saw 364,346 job cut announcements, making it the
worst quarter for such announcements in 2003.

"(It) is difficult to get too excited about a year in which more than
1.2 million people fell victim to downsizing," says employment analyst
John Challenger.

We agree. Indeed, if the Bush "recovery" heats up much more, we wonder
whether anyone will have a job.

Ya know Harry.

What is the recovery plan from you. In the current enviroment what would
you like to see different. I personaly am concerned about jobs going
overseas. And about jobs lost'ed in the us for many reasons.

I'd start with the following:

1. Instead of cutting taxes for the wealthy, I'd spend billions on
rebuilding the infrastructure and public buildings of the United States,
its roads, bridges, power plants, airports, hospitals, schools, et
cetera. Bidding restricted, of course, to U.S.-owned companies employing
U.S. workers.

2. I'd cut *all* tax subsidies for corporations who export jobs.

3. I'd invest billions in the future of America and Americans by
providing massive retraining programs for workers displaced by the
economy or technology. We have to stop discarding our workforce.

Just for starters.
