Here's the dirty little secret. Half the fast food restaurants here in SE Michigan have "NOW HIRING" banners up because so many people are collecting UEI and buying food with State of Michigan Bridge cards that few people are willing to take a low wage job without benefits.

People here collecting UEI are doing so by choice.

its not really the free market....its the government

the democrat controlled congress passed nafta in 1993, and clinton signed it....since then 50 million jobs have left

obama even pushed his own 'freetrade' agreement as a senateor, when he pushed OFTA (O meaning Oman)

our government keeps the corporate tax at the 2nd highest in the world
our government keeps our import taffifs super low or non-existant
our local/state governments hit our property tax to shreds

and soon our lovely government will hit businnesses with cap and trade tax

what do you expect

the GOVERNMENT is the problem

100% False

50 million jobs left?? That is simply MADE UP

Under Clinton 22.7 million jobs were ADDED the LARGEST job creation for any President since BLS started keeping the stats in 1939

Under Bush slightly over 1 million jobs were added the LOWEST job creation for any President.

Bush is the one who crashed this country into the ditch. The Republicans should never again be trusted with this country. I will never vote for one again (unless "Morning Joe" Scarborough runs.

It is bigger than the President. The Chinese have a deal- we give them all our jobs and they loan us money to pay unemployment benefits.
