I don’t think most of this is true. Yes, corporate generated trade deals accelerated under Clinton but starting with Reagan they really took off. Bush is the worse, he did nothing to stop these bad trade deals and by conservative views…somehow a trade deficit is not your typical good idea. Now McCain wants more of these bad trade deals and frankly Dems are not much better on trade, only talking about environmental and labor standards. Now sure we should be producing our own oil but wind is cost effective, extremely so and the issue is the power line infrastructure. It’s corporations who are moving jobs offshore, not Democrats. That said, both parties are completely corrupt with corporate influence. Billions of dollars, 41,000 lobbyists. That means even if you want to argue policy issues you don’t stand a prayer’s chance against whatever corporations want.

Don’t think alternative energy is an either/or choice…don’t drink the partisan kool-aid. A good idea for the country that works…it’s a good idea.

Michigan’s problem is their Democratic Governor who has pitched most of their jobs away. Who really sent the jobs overseas?–Willy Clinton when he signed NAFTA in 1993. Gore also signed the veto on drilling. If he hadn’t you would have reasonable gas prices today. Nancy Pelousy is another woman screwing things up, not even allowing a vote to come up on drilling because she and Harry “Where’s Tommy” Reid and Barack are getting paid off by the Environmentalists (Sierra Club, etc.) because they know you are dumb enough to elect more of the people who won’t allow drilling, clean coal, shale, nuclear, -the only things Dems want are blow jobs (windmills) which produce no savings after you pay for the cost of keeping them going. Going for nuclear, drilling, etc., above will create hundreds of thousands of new jobs and stimulate the economy, but who does not want this growth–the unions which is why their membership is down to 15% from when I grew up — 83%.
Ask the unions why they don’t want jobs produced–once answer–we’re Democrats. The real problem in America is not the congress but YOU the voters–push them all out of office Republicans and Democrats and start over, since they certainly want to listen to only their pocketbooks, ca ching, ca ching, ca ching. If McCain wants to win he needs to appoint a woman as his VP, and my vote goes to the Governor of Alaska (a super talented woman) Start an email drive to McCain HQ for her.

i have started to switch many of my consumer staple purchases from expensive brand names to cheaper generics. this only works when the generic product is equivalent to the brand name or the cost savings brought by the generic is worth more than the reduction in quality. i never think of whether or not this is “fair” to the brand name product. i don’t buy any generics when it comes to certain products (ie: consumer electronics) because of quality issues and i am willing to pay the premium.

perhaps it’s time for those whose work has a “generic” equivalent to start thinking about getting into a line of work where their quality can be shown.

somebody please…STOP OFFSHORING! it’s just not fair for us who work hard in this country. why don’t we just offshore our government to india or our army? maybe their salaries and maintenance costs there are cheaper right? One only realizes the pain of offshoring if it’s their jobs/dreams that are at stake…let’s offshore fiorina’s job..maybe she’ll get our point.

Why is McCain touting Fiorina on Meet the Press this morning as someone that he counts on to get good financial advice? Are we supposed to be excited that he would use Fiorina for advice on our economy after her non-stellar record at HP? I agree with your article that Fiorina is a short sighted corporate hack. I only hope that most voters do not endorse this dangerous recklessness and potential weight on our economy.

Great article.

Somebody needs to tell the people of Michigan that Fiorina:

- failed miserably at HP …

- and was rewarded handsomely with millions of dollars …

- while stockholders lost money and …

- while employees suffered through massive layoffs …

I’m sure the people of Michigan can relate to mass layoffs.

It’s the policies espoused by both that have caused Michigan’s economy to be the wreck that it is. You’d have to be a fool or a masochist to vote for more economic pain from John McCain.

Also, it’s the lower and middle classes that will continue to bear the pain of the “touch choices” these two elites preach.

Neither one of them will be hurt by offshoring, displaced by guest workers, or need worry about a pension, health care costs, college tuition, the cost of retraining for a new career, …
