Yes. I hear news today that Ford will lay off an additional 1500 contract and engineering people. Not sure when people will wake up, and demand some action from the Federal Govt. No money? Oh - I thought we had 87 billion to spend in Iraq? Spend it here - tax credits for employers, direct investment in infrastructure, etc. At least we can put US workers back to work.

The insurance croonies deserve what's coming to them. When there is no one left working to pay for their insurance it will hit their top and bottom lines. If it wasn't so expensive to cover employees then companies wouldn't be so hesitant to hire someone. They would have the money to do so. What kind of health insurance do you think there is in India? LOL FT

Speaking of Walmart... Reuters Feds Arrest 300 Workers at 61 Wal-Marts Thursday October 23, 12:23 pm ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. officials arrested about 300 workers at 61 Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE:WMT - News) locations on immigration charges as part of an investigation into contractor cleaning crews, U.S. officials said on Thursday. They said the investigation, known as "Operation Rollback," involved allegations the contractor had recruited illegal immigrants, mainly Eastern European nationals, to work on cleaning crews at the stores for the world's largest retailer. A federal law enforcement official said some Wal-Mart executives had direct knowledge of the scheme, based on recorded conversations that have been made, surveillance and monitoring. They said federal grand jury subpoenas have been issued for the Wal-Mart executives to testify. The executives were not identified. Garrison Courtney, a spokesman for the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said the arrests in 21 states were part of a "worksite enforcement" effort. "If a company knowingly hires illegal workers it can be penalized up to $10,000 per person," he said. Most of the 300 workers belonged to contract cleaning crews, he said. The latest arrests stemmed from two prior investigations by federal immigration officials involving contractors and Wal-Mart stores, one in 1998 and the other in 2001, the law enforcement official said. The company did not immediately comment. biz.yahoo.com
