- Candidates having raised tens of millions of dollars
and traveling around the country in luxury buses or private jets, arguing
over who has the most 'experience' - who is a Mormon (therefore disqualified)
- who's not a 'true Republican' (Ron Paul) who's picking on Hillary (Edwards)
- who can grab the Evangelical vote - who is totally ignored (Kucinich)
- who claims 911 makes him the protector of us all etc, (Rooty)...meanwhile,
the real story of what is happening in America - evictions, foreclosures,
unemployment - is being totally ignored. This EXPERIENCE from those who've
been in Foggy Bottom so long that they're mildewed - has resulted in
the rusting and disappearance of the American dream. ATLANTIC JOURNAL
CONSTITUTION - Jan 11-08: 10,000 Keep Eyes Open For A Job At Wal-Mart.
"For the fourth consecutive day people waited in
-
-
-
-
- long lines for a shot at a new Wal-Mart in Dekalb County,
pushing the total number of applicants beyond 10,000. Beginning
Monday, after no advertising or any signs, the throngs of hopeful applicants
continued to pour into a church converted into a job processing center
- all vying for only 350 available jobs. The job seeking FRENZY may be
a peek into a larger economic picture. Wal-Mart has long declined to reveal
starting salaries at the store, but reports that the average hourly wage
for full-time associates is $10.65 an hour."
-
- Note - Wal-Mart hires people on at mostly part-time
positions. Most alarming is that Wal-Mart is our nation's largest employer
. We no longer mfg the quality goods that America was known for. Now Wal-Mart
is filled with Chinese goods of inferior quality. Ten dollars an
hour is not a livable wage in these economic times of escalating prices.
