Weird, My father was emloyed under Carter, but we had hard times under reagan. > > Or you mean like the "fiscally sound" policies of LBJ's "Guns *AND* Butter" Before my time. > or Bill and Hillary Clinton's "Nationalized Health Care." We simply disagree on that. > And by "everyone losing their jobs" under George W. Bush are you referring > to our 5.6% unemployment rate and our 62.2% employment rate? Why are so many of the best educated computer scientists in the bay area out of work any yet at every office where I know someone not unemployed, they are hiering people on H1 visas? Whole devisions are being layed off and those who are left say that they jobs are going to India. They are not even giving people a chance to relocate, or take a pay cut, unless of course your one of thos H1 visa holders, and you have Indian citizenship. What about all of the clean room workers who I use to know, but who moved becouse they got layed off and couldn't find anything to replace it with? What about all they guys I know who just gave up and move in with mom and dad? Do you count them as unemployed? What about all of the broken families where dad went off to who knows where to work for 1/8th what he use to make and mom and baby moved in with grandma and grandpa? Sure dad's not "unemployed" but does that count? I guess I'm scared that I'm next, but so is everybody. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
