And Just Where Are Our Jobs?

Apparently, $22M (from us) is being sent to train Information Technology workers – in Asia.

Yeah. How about that. It’s cheaper over there.

Now we know where the priorities of our Administration lies.

Lies. Yeah. Uhuh. Got it.

Guess we have to move over there now. Somehow, I don’t think we wanted that.

So When Are We Talking Real Money?

Another $26B promissory note.

I don’t know, how about both sides (Senate and House) go on summer break at the same time?

Good Lord.

A Very Important Question

And this November 2nd (even September 14th for us in Maryland) will tell us if we have a chance at making corrections.

Here’s the question: Is the American Middle Class Disappearing?

I encourage you to read the post via the above link. The statistics are simple enough to give us all the sense of why it is extremely important to turn back recent legislation that will raise our expenses and taxes to an intolerable level.

We think it’s bad now? We do NOT want to wait any longer, or our future is not just doubtful – it will be painful.

Minimum Wage Hurts Teen Employment

And how is that you may ask? It has been one year since the minimum wage was increased to $7.25. That’s 41% more than it was.

Here’s a blog referencing the Wall Street Journal article. Unfortunately, by going to WSJ you have to have an account to read the entire article. But the important part is shown within that blog.

Here’s my concern. Thinking about how companies don’t have control over a “minimum wage” is it any wonder that some of these companies are willing to risk hiring illegal aliens and paying less? You know, for doing the work “no American wants to do?”

Kinda flies in the face of reality, I’d say. Cause and effect, that is all this is.

Government mandates a minimum wage increase.
Small business companies can’t afford to pay.
Willing to pay less by hiring cheaper, illegal aliens.
Our people can’t get jobs because of that.

Future For AZ SB1070?

Not if the POTUS gets his way.

Some insightful comments about what may be the future of SB 1070 after court proceedings by Professor Jacobson. Smart guy.

Still, from what I read from this, it doesn’t solve the financial hit(s) we suffer from this situation.

Louisiana Gov Jindal Gets It

What the real story is, however, is that our federal government (aka, POTUS) most certainly does not get it about the gulf drilling moratorium.

Incomprehensible. Unbelievable. Playing dice with our future this way.

Held Accountable … By 2012

Obama Continues to Lie About Jobs; Says “I Expect to Be Held Accountable”

Well, if not by the media, not by Congress, not by who???

Looks like us, gang. Unfortunately, it isn’t going to be soon.

Unless, that is, we manage to divide Congress this 2010 to prevent any more fiscal damage by this POTUS.

UPDATE: CNN Spot

I received this in an email today.

Seems that CNN is rather ticked about the pending 2007 Amnesty Bill.

After listening/watching this video, I am also quite (more than just) ticked.

Remember November.

UPDATE: I apologize for this. A friend helped check this out while I was at work today. This video goes back to the Bush administration about the year 2007. It does not apply to current issues. I should have known better since Lou Dobbs retired/resigned from CNN some months ago (last year??).
