Interesting perspective on the economy.
I would like to add my two cents worth.
During the depression, only 25% of the
workforce was unemployed.
Today, unemployment only counts those
actively receiving unemployment benefits.
Most corporations go through temp agencies
to screen workers that are older, have
medical problems or highly educated.
Companies want 20-30 yr olds who will work
80 hrs a week, not ask questions, and do
many things that are illegal, immoral or
indecent.
Not only have our manufacturing jobs gone
overseas, so have the service jobs.
China buys an American made product,
duplicates it at a cheaper cost and sells
it back to the USA.
Corruption seams to be the main reason for
our current economic woes. Corporate
excutives are making multi-millions while
the common workers make $10.50 an hour.
As far as the Mexicans, or for that matter
all immigrants, I have been turned
down for numerous jobs because I do not
speak Spanish. My ancestors fought in the
American Revolution. I served in the United
States Army. Yet, a bi-lingual illegal
immagrant gets preferential treatment for a
job!?
