Yeah, and one of the jobs that are endangered is MINE, which is in trucking.

I have to tell you that this kind of thing focuses the mind.  The working man doesn't have a friend in Washington DC.  That fact is becoming quite clear with the so-called immigration reform.  The whole point of "immigration reform" is to drive down labor costs.  It is a type of manipulative surplus working in tanden with a manipulative scarcity.  It is playing hell with the ordinary common working man.  We need less manipulation and more truth.

People on the right and on the left are shouting slogans at each other and not thinking.  People on the right will say things like "creative destruction!".  The truth is that the common people get screwed when their jobs go away.  People on the left will say "Limits to Growth!".  Once again, the truth is that the common people are screwed when prices are kept too high because of the artificial scarcity, or manipulative surplus.  Free markets my ass!

There was a comment after the story that mentioned Limits to Growth.  I think this indicates how well people are being brainwashed.  Another mentioned the creative destructive mindset.  I don't think either are right.  Those at the top are winning too often and those at the bottom are losing too often.  It is a rigged game.

Markets are rigged so that prices can be held high.  Cutting back on labor kepts labor prices low.  Those at the bottom are catching at both ends.

There needs to be a new party because the current political structure does not work anymore.  You can tell by the arguments.   The arguments are just manipulations by the string pullers.
