"Today, big corporations are shipping as many jobs as they can out of the country. An average of 23 manufacturing facilities were shut down every single day in the United States last year.
Even though our population is rapidly increasing, there are 10 percent fewer middle income jobs in the U.S. today than there were a decade ago.
Until this trend gets reversed, the number of American families living in their vehicles is only going to increase.
Did you see the report on families that are living in their cars that Scott Pelley did for 60 Minutes the other night?
At one school in Florida alone, Pelley met 15 children who had been living in their cars. This is the home of the Metzger family. Arielle,15. Her brother Austin, 13. Their mother died when they were very young. Their dad, Tom, is a carpenter. And, he's been looking for work ever since Florida's construction industry collapsed. When foreclosure took their house, he bought the truck on Craigslist with his last thousand dollars. Tom's a little camera shy - thought we ought to talk to the kids - and it didn't take long to see why. Pelley: How long have you been living in this truck?
Arielle Metzger: About five months. Pelley: What's that like? Arielle Metzger: It's an adventure. Austin Metzger: That's how we see it. Pelley: When kids at school ask you where you live, what do you tell 'em? Austin Metzger: When they see the truck they ask me if I live in it, and when I hesitate they kinda realize. And they say they won't tell anybody.

Did you ever think that this would happen to America?
According to Obooboo supporting the European countries (financially) will create jobs in America. He's firing up the presses to roll out the bucks to Europe while making secret deals.

So where were you when the Republicans gave these corporations their blessings and an "attaboy" for seeking short term profit$$$ by shipping American jobs across the border and over to Bangladesh?
Why would America vote in another Republican? That's like appointing a fox to guard a chicken coop.
Boo hoo.......!!! Billions of people in the world live on less than a dollar a day and American poor are whining with their $75 French manicures and cell phones. LOL.....pathetic!

And, at the same time illegal aliens are dying to cross the border to get the jobs the 'American poor' are just 'too good' to do and besides they are too busy getting welfare checks and whining with envey because the Government is not giving them Bill Gates salary on their checks.

The US isn't responsible for the "rest of the world" in spite of the fact that it thinks it is. You really think that the American poor gets to have French manicures?? I guess your definition of poor is quite different from the the definition of those who are actually poor.
