Lindybill,
Rich Lowry is, evidently, one of the propagandists for the far-right(which has become most business executives today).
I personally know Americans who lost their jobs 3yrs ago & even though striving diligently to find another one, they have not found one as good as the one lost. Therein lies the rub. The unemployed in U.S. today are forced to settle for a job without the salary or health benefits they had in past. It's an overall erosion of America's standard of living. The wealthier have become even more so, while workers quality of life is deteriorating. I'm not talking about over-paid workers or those with outrageous benefits in past but simply bank employees or factory workers. It's unrealistic to expect every single American to achieve college degree. There will always be those who cannot, yet we can't dispose of them like useless trash. I've had it with the "unfettered capitalism" dogma--it's as ineffective for the average human being(most important ones on this planet) as totalitarian communism. A compromise is necessary. If GW Bush wants to remain Pres he had better find one.
