Trying to highlight differences between Republicans and Democrats is akin to highlighting differences between brown bears and black bears.The Obama jobs plan is an oxymoron. Any jobs plan that does not recognize the underlying problem of jobs being exported to communist China is spitting into a windstorm. Any money spent on workers here will flow to China because the goods workers buy will be made in China or other similar Asian nations where slave wages are the rule of the day. No amount of Keynesian style economic medicine will do. We are in a new world now with globalization of the workforce. Until all workers unite worldwide and demand livable wages and safe working conditions the oligarchs will just keep moving around their factories to the lowest paid workers in the world. After China there are still many nations where income is so low that US workers will never again see the days of full employment and livable wages. The US middle class is a thing of the past. It is just taking FOREVER for average Americans to wake up and understand their jobs and lives have been sold down the river. And in all the cacophony and blame being handed around no one is paying the least bit of attention to the root cause.
