whatever, for my part I agree with you. But the problem is we have a more severe issue in the WH with these awful deficits and our inability to negotiate with China and India to turn around this jobs situation or at least mitigate it. The bad economy trickles down to the states and these socialist programs gain hold, that is the cycle. So many professionals are unemployed and they have no health care for their kids... next thing you hear, a local mandate for healthcare. If we had employment and a robust economy there would be no such mandate. The main problem is the national economy and deficit which BUSH created. California does not drive national policy. Bush needs a completely new economic team and needs to stop watching Kudlow and Cramer. Next year we will have worse jobs numbers and a larger deficit. They are living in dream land in the WH.

related to my last post- this would have never happened in the 90s during a robust economy. The country is going to swing left now with Bush policies in the WH. IBM Tech Workers Consider Union Option In the wake of reports that it may move thousands of programming and support jobs overseas, IBM faces a backlash from its U.S. workers that could lead to unionization of the company's IT workforce. Pro-union sentiments at IBM received fresh impetus last week when, in meetings captured on tapes leaked to the New York Times and InformationWeek, company executives are heard planning a potentially significant shift of jobs from the United States to India. Labor unrest at IBM and other IT companies has been growing as they send more work to low-wage offshore countries such as India while eliminating jobs at home. story.news.yahoo.com
