That's because you listen to those wacky liberal news stations like NPR.

Heh. Would you like whipped cream on that foot, as long as it's in your
mouth? Three weeks ago, our local NPR radio station interviewed two
people from the NYS department of labor. They were bemoaning the FACT
that although they can offer retraining to mid- and senior-level
engineers who will lose their jobs when Delphi (the auto parts maker)
shuts its doors, they know for a FACT that companies simply do not exist
here which can offer these people anywhere near the money they were
making before. They were talking about people going from 75k to 100k,
down to 30k-40k. Not funny when you're 45 years old and your first kid's
going to college next year.

Just because someone was earning $75-100k doesn't mean that they are
guaranteed that amount in the future.

Obviously not, but you're using your incomplete information to "prove" that
wealth is being created, when, on the whole, it may not be.



Consider this:

Before you could look up the exact dealer cost of an automobile....

Blah. This does not support your use of incomplete data. I assume you
realize that if this were a discussion in an economics or statistics class,
your professor would've humiliated you by now.



But, I guess that the DOL people who are actually interviewing displaced
workers have no idea what they were talking about, because they were
interviewed on an NPR affiliate station. Right?

In true NPR fashion, they interviewed only folks from one side of the
equation.

That's a stupid thing to say. Long weekend? Not recovered yet? Drink more
water.
