Lawmakers cry 'jobs' to push through bills

Loud political chorus comes from both sides of the aisle

Trio of Evil: Democrats Steny Hoyer, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi

Back in 1987, I was working in video. Our project was for a company called Outboard Marine Corporation, located then in Waukegan, Illinois.

We were sent to shoot video in northwestern Georgia and western North Carolina. But many of the jobs had been outsourced, even at that point in time, just over the border in Ciudad-Juarez, Mexico.

Since these many years have passed, formerly 'American' jobs have been outsourced to many foreign countries, in particular, India, because that move means MORE PROFIT for American corporations.

THE BEST WAY to 'create' jobs is to STOP OUTSOURCING.

Simple as that.

But Pelosi, et al, do not understand this concept.

Neither does the so-called 'leader or our nation', who can't seem to quit smoking or eat cherry pie.

Since the late eighties, many thousands have lost their jobs due to the 'outsourcing' phenomenon (read as: PROFIT!).

And it is all because of corporate greed.

Will we ever learn? Learn to elect RESPONSIBLE personages as our lawmakers?

Or will we, as Americans, simply be lazy, not realizing that our FREEDOM IS IN PERIL at the hands of the current 'Wizards of Washington'?
