You are all excited and spun the much higher unemployment figures in Canada...why were you not more concerned with the much higher percentages unemployed there and applauding that we have so many more employed here? It was spin on your part. No need to answer. Let us not be so dramatic. I sit on two job center boards and have been involved for approximately 15 years with the PIC...we work hard with industry in assisting the unemployed that are seeking employment. What do you do for them? There are so many individuals that post here that want increases in taxes. Do you voluntarily pay higher rates? You have that option you know... I didn't think so...(s) If the liberals want higher taxes and are not concerned with waste, they should send more of their own earned income to the US Treasury as a show of sincere committment.

Kenny, why not give this some thought. We need jobs???? Let's ask the enviro-nuts how many jobs(and good paying jobs at that) are lost because of their antics????? We are talking plant construction and maintenance....we are talking nuclear energy, we are talking fossil energy. Forrestry, etc etc etc. Let's ask you liberals and Democratic congresscritters how many jobs are lost because of some patch of nearly inaccessible tundra cannot be used to help our nation's energy problem. Let's ask our Democratic congresscritters, who are beholden to the unions, why anyone would outsource labor to a business that pays 2.00 a day from one that pays 18.00 an hour. (IMO neither is fair, but there should be a middle ground, will the unions give???)
