In a singular word the problem starts with 'deregulation'. If you don't think that's the problem look at America before this happened and where did the middle class stand. In the middle of course and comfortably so.
It's apparent 'regulation' of the powerful was enacted because you can't allow the powerfull and connected to go out on an ego trip to see who can obtain the most while disrupting the majority of the people.
And yes Clinton signed the enhanced NAFTA but the Republicans have been in power for 8 years and not only haven't they attempted to get out of it but they have expanded it, And since McCain voted 90% of the time with Bush do you expect anything different if McCain and the Repubs get back in?
Fighting bad Trade Deals....

We've been living a lie in this country for a long time. It started with the Reagan years and the "trickle down" theory of economics. Things slowed during the first Bush administration, but took off again during the Clinton years. We learned that "greed is good" and that if you work hard enough, you will be rewarded - no matter what your circumstances. (As long as you know the right people, were not born in a poor household.....)
Reagan broke one union and corporate America saw that they had a friend in Ronnie. Soon, we were hearing all about "Globalism" and a "post industrial" era and a "knowledge economy."
So the "New Democrats" jumped on the NAFTA bandwagon. Soon we would all be working on our laptops and making good money. Voices started talking about everyone becoming "contractors." Life was good.
Then we suddenly discovered that the new "knowledge economy" jobs were not as prevalent as we were promised. Then we were told we had to be "competitive" and to "re-train." For what? The experts were vague on the subject. If you asked one of them what jobs should we re-train for, you seldom got a direct answer. Students who got degrees in engineering or computer science discovered that there were people coming to this country with their HB1 visas in hand ready to work for pennies on the dollar. Employers like them. They not only work cheap, they don't skip out after a year and look for another job.
For the last 10-15 years, wages have been stagnant. Meanwhile, health care costs are going through the roof, gasoline is approaching $5.00/gal.

Yeah, deregulate everything, then Blame The Blacks when everything crumbles to pieces.
The Republicans are like an abusive spouse -- they beat the hell out of the country for four years and then promise to "reform" when the cops arrive. But as soon as the cops are gone, they're back to beating the hell out of the country for another four years.

The panelists on Bill Maher's show pointed out that he was the first to lose his job under the Bush administration. That was a big sign of the power over the media. Sorry Bush, the freedom still rings in this country despite your storm troopers.

Everything. Only thing they haven't been able to blame us for was the tech bust.
And even that, they blamed on the Indians.

I thought it was librals, which of course, many blacks are. What I see from many conservatives is blacks should be grateful and quit complaining, after all we let um vote..........sometimes. And then sometimes we even count them.
