Whew!!! What would John Wayne say??!!!! C'mon, Eric!! What.....you want your "friends" (in the hair-salon industry) to get some kind o' subsidies, or something???
So, tell me why Apple (Steve Jobs is an Obama supporter) who has Al Gore on it's board makes its products in China? Why isn't the left having a holy fit about the fact that Apple is sending all of these jobs to China and not using unionized labor here in the U.S. to make their products? The left is notorious for demonizing all of these companies that send jobs overseas, and yet no noise about Apple? I wonder why that is. Rick
Well Michigan is certainly a rust belt state, albeit mostly the Detroit east side of it. But it's not a right to work state and also not very business friendly due to various taxes. During her term as governor Jennifer Granholm has done a credible job of trying to woo new businesses here or encourage existing ones to expand here rather than in other states, but her track record isn't very good for the above stated reasons. So Dems can talk all they want about revitalizing areas but until some major roadblocks are cleared it's just that, talk.
It's easy, it's all about making money. I'm embarrassed I had to explain that to someone on the right. From the Article: "Key voting blocs -- including independents and older people with no college education -- named the loss of manufacturing jobs as a top worry, the survey found. " Corporations want to move jobs to China where they just had their salaries DOUBLED to 73 dollars a week. No insurance. No dental. US workers can't compete with that. What Republicans want is for American workers to work for 72 dollars a week. That way, they can compete. What Democrats want is to help Americans get an education so they don't have to work for 72 dollars a week. It's a major difference in party philosophy.
Is this all the Democrats got? Playing the "Patriot Card" now? Yea it is desperation time for em. Since when did Anti-American Democrats care about America and its Flag? I guess calling em "Stupid" and "Racists" isn't working as well as they planned. Time to show the Dems the door. Haven't they done enough damage? 11% Congressional Approval rating?? Yikes!
lol! Anti-American Socialist/Progressive Democrats care about the American Flag? Yea right,anyone with common sense knows they're full of chit on this stuff. They only care about America and its Flag around Election Time. Talk about hiding behind the Flag? What a joke.
"We know manufacturing produces good jobs, high-paying jobs," House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) said Monday as Democrats released a report showcasing small gains in manufacturing since Obama took office. "We have committed ourselves to a long-term agenda aimed at enhancing the manufacturing capabilities in America." aren't democrits hated corporations guilty of manufacturing ? i'm a republican, i was made in america. i'm putting next years income tax into escrow so they can't spend it. it'll be legal too, so there's your revolution
The "Patriot Card" wont be enough for the Anti-American Socialist/Progressive Democrats. Most people just laugh at this attempt to feign caring about America and its Flag. They just better hope calling everyone "Stupid" and "Racists" is enough because this chit isn't going to sell. Make 2010 count people.
