Excerpts:
- A new survey...shows many more Americans than previously reported have been profoundly touched by joblessness and its related hardships...the survey, by scholars at Rutgers University, shows more Americans than previously thought blame illegal immigration for the problem of unemployment
- So what is Washington doing amid these deep economic anxieties? Working on a bipartisan plan that would begin with the mass, immediate legalization of illegal immigrants[emphasis added]
- The researchers asked people -- unemployed and employed alike -- about the "major causes" of joblessness. Seventy percent named "competition and cheap labor from other countries." [emphasis added]
- In his inaugural address, President Obama did not even mention the problem of joblessness
- when the Rutgers researchers asked whether people put more trust in Obama or the GOP as far as handling the economy is concerned, the largest number of people said "neither."
- People are deeply pessimistic about the future
And the GOP wonders why they lost the election. Then they go do what the Democrats have been doing, as opposed to paying attention to what the people are saying and feeling.
If they would just pay frickin' attention, they would trounce the Democrats.
But that would be too obvious. It would make too much sense.
