Could there be a mandate, completely unnoticed by the Press that Americans want our representatives to put U.S. Citizens, American workers first for jobs in America?  

One major lobbyist group already issued a press release letting the entire world know that they not only own Obama but are guarateed to get their labor arbitrage agenda passed, regardless of what the American workforce thinks.…

Here comes the spin. 

The new Democratic Vice Presidential Pick is being framed as a champion of the middle class.  

A regular guy, a blue collar hero, our savior.

Well, let’s look at the record shall we?

Joe Biden championed something alright, the Bankruptcy Bill.   Harvard Professor and Consumer Credit Expert Elizabeth Warren describes the the bill:

On April 20, 2005, George W. Bush signed into law a bankruptcy bill that had been pending in Congress for eight years.   The bill was written by credit-industry lobbyists, shopped to their friends in Congress, and supported by tens of millions of dollars in lobbying and campaign contributions.

It might be dismissed as just one more piece of highly focused special-interest legislation except for the damaging vision of middle-class America that it reinforced: irresponsible people consumed by appetites for goods they don’t need, who think little of cost, and who would rather file for bankruptcy than repay their lawful debts.    More than just a giveaway to the credit-card companies, the bill was a moral judgment against the bankrupt.

That’s right, damn the evidence and the statistics as our US dollar tanks and the nation is hollowed out of manufacturing and service jobs.   Now he believes by denying US citizens jobs and opportunity, displacing them with foreign guest workers, one creates jobs!   Must one wonder if McCain is living in some sort of economic fantasy world!   Or could it be he will only listen to corporate lobbyists and present their public relations teams talking points?

Ars Technica reports Chuck Fish, former conglomerate Time-Warner executive and lawyer, representing McCain, claims:

For each H1-B visa hire, 20 domestic jobs are created

Ars Technica notes there is only one study that claims firing Americans and denying opportunity to Americans creates jobs.   When Ars Technica requested the source of John McCain’s claim that guest worker Visas is a massive job creation engine, there was no reply from the McCain campaign.

Even worse, Ars Technica is quoting a corporate lobbyist paper that has been heavily debunked.   Of course it is debunked, does anyone in their right…
