If your fighting for America workers then your not working hard enough. I was lied on with faise allegations and it's bad because. They came against my character and i am a victim and the law changed. in 1964 didn't change the people it just changed the rules and which still have gaps still.
I was willing to work at a local Jeans shop but the pay was complete shit. 5/6 dollars an hour with taxes, assembling jeans. Having or not having skills isn't the problem, it's the wages. My boss drove a 2010 BMW and was wanting more for him, less for us. Fucking greedy bastard. It's getting harder to live, no wonder people are killing others and wanting to go to jail.
Unions made sense when they started, when job mobility didn't exist. Now, it's just legal organized crime. If your wages or benefits are not satisfactory, go do something else. If someone else is willing to do your job for less money, than that is the prevailing wage.

I see Satan at work with this administration lots of people of faith are seeing the same and we have lost more jobs not gained since Obama drama began. His state of the Union message was a joke and everything he said focuses on, it will only happen if I am voted in again. We are fools if we allow this demon spawn to keep going in our country. He embraces Islam while destroying Christian faith, our for fathers are turning in their graves each time he claims america as not being a Christian nation
The 50 people who disliked this video are Fascists. That is what Fascist pigs want is for people who try to work not to get the wages, healthcare and quality of life they deserve. I would compare this administration to Roosevelt's who put into place Labor Laws.
We have a much better shot with democrats than we do with republicans and the democrats have done better with this recession which is much more severe than the recession under Reagan where unemployment went to 10.8 % and stayed at 10% for over 10 month. I do have to admit though that the strategy of the right to smear and attack with anything they could make up out of thin air that started before Obama was even inaugated has been effective unfortunately.
@barsense I understand, but really, why would anyone think that Obama Care would bring us out of recession while it's bringing us deeper. The problem is within the Public sector. Especially Teachers. Unions are destroying the Middle class. The government will do ANYTHING to please the Unions because why? The Unions will vote for them. They need to stop giving so much money or lower the benefits.
@AfroGangsta10 I support unions public or whatever, unions are what keep wages and benefits at more reasonalble rates for all Americans. in right to starve non union states the average wage is poverty wage and even college graduates are working for little better than poverty wages. I find it totally ridiculous that people are whining about unions which is what sustains a middle income range with their measly salaries compared to top income billions a year that they do not want to see cut
@barsense But do you think it's fair that the public sector has both better benefits and paychecks than the private? Unions are destroying the middle class. It's not fair that jobs like being a Teacher, have better benefits and most of the time paychecks than the people that actually work hard for a living. Why do you think states like California and New Jersey are just going to hell right now. Because they are made up of Unions.
@AfroGangsta10 It is not unions that are destroying the middle income , public workers ARE among the middle income that top income is trying to destroy. Public workers in some cases earn more than private and in some cases earn less than private. There are many areas where a person with the same qualfications and education can earn more in private than in public service. But unions is what keeps wages and benefits higher for both public and private industry workers.
@barsense Your not understanding. Here is how it used to be years ago
Public- Great benefits, Average salary
Private- Measly benefits, Above average salary.
In the Private you work hard, and you get paid for what you do, you can be fired at any time, and you have to take risks in order to succeed.
Now the Public, Great benefits and Great pay now. Teachers work for 6 hours, NEVER get fired, Public has Tenor. Yes some jobs like Police should have good everything, but for most, no. UNFAIR
@barsense That is not true at all. I have many relatives that are public workers and many that are private workers, some do better as public workers and some earn better wages and benefits as private workers and it depends mostly on how much higher education that many are still paying for. I can promise you that in non union right to starve states like mine the large majority of private workers are paid poverty wages and even college grads not much better regardless of public or private
Argh, repub politicians make me furious, they are so banking on people being stupid, my repub governor ad on TV bashing Obama saying stimilus did not work then bragging about jobs created in my state saying he was on the right trak Obama on wrong trak. LMAO every damn job created in my state was directly due to the 18 million bucks my Governor got from Obama stimilus to create the jobs. God I hope people will show these repub clowns in November that we a NOT as stupid as they think we are
Looks like the Tea party crowd is spamming this site like they have other sites. I wonder if I will ever see one that actually offers truthful information and ethical behavior or is that just a couple of traits that tea partiers do not consider important ?
I really get a kick out of the ones that pretend they are dissatisfied dems. lol
@MeketoaI Obama did fight the GOP and did make actual reform as much as he could get enough support from the people to pass. No president can pass anything with a majority vote from Congress and to get a majority vote especially reform that the other party is fighting against most congress members will side with what the majority of thier constituents want. If they get more calls asking them to vote against reform that is the way they will vote. The same with Hillary or any pres,
The TEa Pary folks and the right need to read the Federalist Papers that our Founding Fathers wrote, they made it quite clear that a strong central government was ESSENTIAL in order to keep this country operating as a union and to protect citizens from greed of the wealthy and powerful. Our Founding Fathers said that a country without a strong central government was a country DOOMED,
tea party is a bunch of crock...where was the Tea Party when GWBush was spending billions, even trillions on 2 wars entered into on lies? image what the tea party would say about Obama, if Obama lied about 2 wars? huh? tea party...what a JOKE. the whole GOP/Republican party is a joke.
the tea party doesn't read anything, they just stand around and complain about everything progressive...their a distraction funded by the rich, because I cannot image busy hard pressed middle class having time to join this pathetic group or to fundraise for it.
@dalecampbl7 I have to agree, they are the most misinformed bunch as a whole that I have ever seen in this country. It would be very sad if it was not so embarrassing because now due to the publicity the sheer volume of the lack of any knowledge and thier belief in some of the most ignorant political BS that is nothing more than blatant lies is seen by people all over the world. What fools they must think that so many Americans are.
Ff you ever listen to the right wing radio stations on the west coast, it's amazing, they just LIE LIE LIE. They'll talk about "saving our grandkids from debt" and then use that as a reason to cut health care, education, and social security. it's so pathetic, isn't it? Well, all I can do is vote. I never miss a vote. But it's so sad to see this country so deluded by misinformation. Did you hear what happened in Wisconsin 2 month ago, especially the vote for State Supreme Court.
@dalecampbl7 I think a lot of the people that listen to the lies are even veterans and they have no idea that the entitlements the republicans keep saying must be slashed includes veterans benefits. Veteran care is included in the Federal Budget with other entitlements it is NOT included in defense spending.
well governor Walker refused to collect business taxes and then said the state is in a budget deficit, which he created by not collecting taxes or raising taxes, etc. and so he went ahead and made a bill destroying collective bargainin....there was a lawsuit going to supreme court of Wisconsin, there was also an election , and the GOP supreme court justice almost lost, but mysterious a county clerk found 70,000 votes, and the clerk used to work for that justice...smells corrupt
@dalecampbl7 sure does and naturally they get by with it ? Seems like the decks keep getting stacked higher and higher against the majority of average Americans. Blows my mind how people can actually think this country can prosper and survive by attacking working people and pandering to the few, we are a consumer driven economy, biz needs sales and that means we need a majority not just a few with buying power.
@MeketoaI Obama did what he had to do to keep the economy from crashing not because he does not have what it takes to fight. He did what was right . You can't make drastic changes when an economy is as shaky as our is, you have to do it slow in stages. Hillary or anyone else would have had to do the same. Insurance industry is a major part of our economy so heatlhcare has to be changed in stages, Wallstreet has to be handled carefully to keep the market stable, etc. etc.
:( i wish the dems actually fought the GOP and didnt give in to them. Obama is a great speaker but he needs to show that not just during election time. Now the Republicans are going to win this election and the economy is going to get worse for my generation and when i get out of High School its going to be so hard to find a job.
@manoman0 Yeah that worked out really well with the lack of regulation on Wall Street!That lack of Federal oversight also worked wonders for BP in the Gulf.
McCain was against supporting a "Buy American" program.
Do you republican'ts ever think before typing? LMAO
@IWLocal8 your rants are not helpful to determine the the damage of a union nowadays. You're mixing up several issues. I am talking about how unions hurt the workers. That's not a republican issue, but hey, keep ranting; it keeps YOU from thinking.
And how can one misconstrue your claim that Feds getting out of the way will help worker protection (don't forget about how Unions brought about OSHA) while claiming that unions hurt workers?
@IWLocal8 . you know what? if you're too fucking lazy to dig out the numbers and to research unintended consequences, then, please, live on in your dream. I don't really care. Get up to speed or leave it.
@manoman0 You are making no sense whatsoever.I'm asking what you're claiming.Not only that,but burden of proof would be on you to back up your claims!
@manoman0 I would be very surprised if you live in a southern right-to-work anti-union state. In most areas wages are poverty level for just about everything except top management of big corps. Employees have NO bargaining power at all. It sure is good and very lucrative for employers though. Unions generate an increase in wages and benefits offered for all businesses that can afford to pay more that need good employees, without unions wages and benefits stay very low.
@barsense The unemployment rate in Detroit, the heart of the industrial labor union, is officially at about 30%, but joblessness is estimated to be closer to 50%. Over a third of the city's residents live below the poverty line. How are wages and benefits working out in union country?
@FAHayek89 I went to the Detroit Michigan labor website and the unemployment rate as of August was 13.1% and has shown a slow but steady decrease in unemployment rates for several months now. Or you talking about some other Detroit ???????????
@barsense You need to distinguish between the poverty rate in the Detroit Metro Area and the city of Detroit itself. 13.1% represents the over four million people living in the city of Detroit and suburbs. In the city limits, the number approaches an official count of 30%. Problematically, official numbers do not count part time workers looking for full time work or workers who have dropped out of the search completely. The city's mayor, a Democrat, suggests the real rate may be nearly 50%.
@FAHayek89 Ah so now you switch from unemployment rate to poverty rate. I will check and see if I can find verification on the POVERTY rate then. If you read your post below you were talking about unemploment rate not poverty. Neat twist and spin.
@barsense My mistake. I meat to type unemployment. The unempolyment rate in the city limits is near 30%, while it is near 13 for the metro area. Not a slight of hand - a mistype in my follow-up post. Thanks for the catch.
@FAHayek89 No problem .In 2002 23.2 percent of Detroit residents were considered poor by the Census Bureau. In a two-year period, according to these figures, some 75,000 to 80,000 more people descended into poverty, a staggering increase. As you can see I did check and is now at 30% due to globalization policies with the added stress of the recession. El Paso TX. is next in line at 29% for the same reasons.
@barsense I have no dispute on your numbers, but I think we differ on the causes. While I acknowledge that globalization leads to loss in certain types of jobs, I think there is good evidence that free trade has led to an overall increase of total jobs and of total wealth.
I'd suggest that most economists would take my position. I don't think this form gives enough space for that level of economic argument though, and it is one that noble laureates disagree on.
@FAHayek89 You are wrong, very much so. The big myth is only certain types of jobs are lost. In fact, high tech jobs are being lost faster than ever. The cost of an enginer in San Fran will get you 11 in India. A major drug co has not hired a researcher in America in 10 years. When the high level researchers retire thats it for research at that co in the states. All research will be done in China.
@FAHayek89 Globalization makes the rich filthy rich and destroys the middle class. The only jobs it creates are in piss poor countrys and it fucks the workers. Take your right wing 101 economics and fuck Hayek's ass with it. When your done have Uncle Milton lick it clean.
@rickbar123 I can see that you are either uninterested in or incapable of intelligent conversation based on comments like "fu%& Hayek's a$^ with it...." If you mature to the point of conducting a rational, adult discussion, I'll be happy to converse with you. Playground cursing isn't worth any more of my time, though I could understand based on your command of the language why you might be worried about an economy that required an intelligent, educated work force.
@FAHayek89 BTW, did you know the democrats have been trying to pass tax cuts for businesses here in America that do NOT outsource and pay for them by reducing tax cuts for businesses that do outsource and the republican are blocking it. Why would they not agree to that ?
@barsense For what it is worth though, while I meant to type "unemployment," the census bureau also puts the poverty rate at about 1/3 within the city limits.
@FAHayek89 No problem. In 2002 23.2 percent of Detroit residents were considered poor by the Census Bureau. In a two-year period, according to these figures, some 75,000 to 80,000 more people descended into poverty, a staggering increase. Just checked and I found 30 % also, El Paso Tx. is next in line at 29% all this due to globalization and the recession sure did not help.
@FAHayek89 I still can't find any unemployment rates in the Detroit Metro area that reports that much unemployment. Poverty yes but not unemployment. I will keep looking but so far all the stats I find are much much lower on unemployment.
@FAHayek89 I agree on your point with GM, I am still watching to see how this ends up, but at least we did retain some American ownership so that is encouraging. A complete foreign takeover from a non gov controlled bankruptcy i don't really see as the best option. But then I am concerned about the loss of manufacturing industry in this country looking at future strength and prosperity not just today. A country needs manufacturing industries.
@barsense What concerns me even more is the economic/military rise of China. Unfortunately, we can’t close the rest of the world as a market to them, so our action on trade would do little to impede their growth.
What would impede their growth would be reduction of the heavy debt we owe them. But cutting debt requires cutting spending (including social spending and farm/corporate welfare). Neither party has any strong desire to do that base on the current and last POTUS.
@FAHayek89 I respectfully disagree to some extent regarding the democrats because they have filed against China for violatiing trade agreements and taken many steps to begin balancing the trade deficit regarding import tariffs from China, etc. . They also reduced tax credits for corps with foriegn accounts to pay for more tax credits for businesses that operate here in the US and the right fought them every step of the way on every single piece of legislation. Dems passed pay-as-you-go again
@FAHayek89 I would agree that there still needs to be more reform on many social programs in the form of more work and education requirements and time limits but I am more concerned about the abuses and advantage taking of social programs from the wealthier who get huge sums to live the high life than I am about those who just want a free meal. I would not want to live in the conditions that these people do just one upper income leech gets enough in one check to pay for whole yr for many poor
@FAHayek89 Working in poor conditions for poor wages is not a viable answer as far as I am concerned because you have to consider when these people can no longer work anymore that puts an even larger strain on the need for social expansion, for any real progress towards decreasing the necessity fo social programs citizens have to be able to earn a reasonable living and save for old age or misfortune when they work a steady job and work hard for many years.
@FAHayek89 Would you agree that a country must have strong manufacturing industry in order to compete and prosper. Since globalzation polices were implemented other countries have protected their own manufacturing and are gaining more manufacturing industries while our country has lost far too much of our manufacturing industries. Check the stats on that. That is why I disagree, we may have gained jobs, weatlh in some areas but they are not as essential to future prosperity as manufacturin
@barsense I've got some concerns about manufacturing, but for national security more than economic reasons. At the same time, the reality is that the U.S. has largely dominated GATT/WTO negotiations. We manage to keep plenty of tariffs in place, though not always the smartest tariffs. Instead of protecting "infant" industries or unequal wage disparity, the political reality is that tariffs protect those groups who can maintain domestic political power and hurt consumers.
@FAHayek89 the bailouts this time were to protect all of us from loosing our lifes savings. the banks and auto owners, Ceo's would have been fine as bankrupty laws would have protected so much of their properties etc. , we would not if the market crashed, And the dems have passed new legislation to transfer the responsiblity more on the corps to avoid future dependency on gov bailouts being needed to protect the market and consumers life savings. Remains to be seen whether it will work or not
@barsense Had I been in Congress, I probably would have held my nose and supported some form of bank bailout, not for the sake of the banks, but for all those dependent on the banks. At the same time, when Barney Frank called on Fannie and Freddie to provide more low interest loans to consumers without credit AFTER the bailout, I don't have much trust or faith in the current political system to fix the problem.
@barsense The reality is that many (not all) at both the consumer and investment bank level caused the crisis by acting irresponsibly. I have no sympathy for someone who loses their home because they lied about their income to get a larger loan (even if a bank official told them to lie) or someone who “didn’t know variable rate meant my rate could go up.” I do have sympathy for the neighbors who suffer because of the irresponsible person’s foreclosure.
@barsense It was no shock that the auto makers had a failed business model. Any actuary could have told them their benefits packages were unsustainable at both the executive and labor levels (thus the infamous legacy costs). Nor were they making cars that people wanted to buy. In the year they filed bankruptcy, Chrysler did not have a single Consumer Reports recommended car for quality. Labor and management both share blame. The taxpayer share none, and thus shouldn’t shoulder the cost.
@bars The Tokyo Big Three managed successful operations IN the U.S., an indicator that it was not a systemic national economic or an unfair trade issue. Many Toyotas contain more U.S. made parts than many GMs. Nor does the argument, “they work in poor conditions for poor wages” hold water. First, would you rather work for their wages/conditions, or have no job as many working for the Detroit Three? Second, Ford had the same constraints but was able to prosper through a smart business plan.
@FAHayek89 I have concerns for economic as well as national defense, sound recording 97% foreign owned. ore/mining industry over 70% foriegn owned along with dozens of other industries that were once American in America, infrastructure as well as national historical buildings foreign owned, other countries own trillions more of American than we own in other countries. Major foriegn purchases of stock in media enough to have voting shares and some control over what is aired like with Fox
@FAHayek89 And there are is the major foreign purchases in some of our most prominent Wallstreet investment firms. These and the other pre-dominantly foreign owned American industries are spending vast sums on elections and many of them are not exactly our allies.
@IWLocal8 And how exactly do you define a "buy American program?" High import taxes that raise the cost for consumers? Sorry, I know my skills make me secure in my job. I worked hard to develop those skills. I won't vote to pay for tariffs to increase my cost of living to subsidize those who refuse to adjust to the economy and gain skills to secure their jobs. I'll buy the best product at the lowest price, and government has no right to artificially manipulate that price.
@FAHayek89 Buying American whenever possible is how I define a "Buy American" program.Being a proud vet, I choose to support those goods made by Americans ahead of others.When your job gets outsourced you can always feed your kids your imports.
@FAHayek89 Let me REwrite that again for you.I buy American made goods whenever possible.Toyota does have American plants, and, although I'd prefer the profits stay in the US,you can still buy a Toyota that uses UAW labor.
Voting is like Driving. To go forward you must select 'D'. To go back, select 'R'. (Sometimes D is like putting it in 1st. But its still better than going backwards.)
You expect us to believe that you know how to turn the economy around when you find that loosing 8,000 to 12,000 in the Gulf is acceptable??
The WH is fighting back against claims its offshore drilling moratorium will cause dramatic job loses along the Gulf Coast with a new report that says most jobs aren't gone forever.Only 8,000 to 12,000 jobs will be lost along the Gulf Coast, and most will return once deepwater drilling resumes, says the report to be presented to a Senate panel Thursday.
$600 billion per year spent on the war machine. Courtesy the US slave (I mean tax-payer). About a third of all tax revenue. So a few at the top can profit from the blood of sons and daughters and continue selling the lie.

It's ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING to, here & there, see how much President Obama evidently can be understood & followed, then, how one part of the population tries to present Him and the second part as dreamers, crooks & incompetents. When it is SO EASY to only look at FACTS.
AND ! The crude assertions some dare, which couldn't be found, even, in a schoolyard ...
useyereffinbrain - what rebuilding did obama did. think straight. 4 trillion in bush adm in 8 years and 4 trillion on obama adm in 18 months. thats a big rebuilding he did buddy. he is a good speaker who got you all in his little dream world with flying cars and flying trains which is build here in usa. but can he afford it. ohh, i guess he hasn't thought about it yet.
The president is calling boehner out. He'll have to respond with something other than NO to everything. I would like boehner to start by explaining how he can cut taxes and pay down debt at the same time. What government programs he is willing to cut to pay for tax cuts for the rich. He won't say because he doesn't know.
BUILD ME TWIN TOWERS BACK I WANT MY LIFE BACK LIKE IT WAS DURING CLINTON. AMERICAN PEOPLE VOTE REPUBLICANS OUT IN NOVEMBER 2010, THEY DONT CARE ABOUT PEOPLE , THEY CARE ABOUT BIG CORPORATIONS. CORPORATIONS PAY FOR THEIR CAMPAIGNING GAME, CHECK OUT SARA PALINS OUTFITS!
@LIVERLADD His last term will also be America's last term. Obama is the president of the USA as you know it. He's the 4th Beast in the Bible - The Leopard, King of Babylon (USA).
Obama will lead America to a crushing defeat in WW 3. Obama cannot win any war, he's not built to it. Obama is an Illuminati puppet. The most inexperienced president America has ever had.
What can you do about it? Do not attack Obama. Accept his presidency, or things will get worse before they get better.
I am not too happy about what Democrates did in past 2 years but there is no way I will vote for Republicans again. I am freaked out about this recession and no more!
I have a job, I never got a raise for my hard work. I get stuck at the bottom every year. 6:15
I hope middle class families do better and I hope you mean it, cause this is hard to deal with, seeing people losing jobs everyday because of upper class greed.
I wish I was a music teacher. I want to go back to school, but I need to be on the right medication first.
Thank goodness for Barrack Obama. God Bless America.
Why can't Obama stay on the offense like this? He would be the world greatest leader if he only pushed for his ideas instead of listening to the conservatives with their bad ideas.
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." Bertrand Russell
Who is the Obama regime fighting for his workers? This is our countries worst president ever. BOOB Borack Obama Out of Business in 2010. Between vacations and complaining when does he work. He kinda sounds like Jimmy Hoffa, fighting for and taking from all of his union member. Yep sounds like a president, "in da house" and "give it up". This evil man has got to go.
@interwebbist You are either completely confused or purposely spreading deceitful lies. The president passed a bill to reform Wall St. Wall St. lobbyists and republicans fought hard to stop the reform but the Democrats got it done.
Some of the democrats in congress get so much money from congress that they'd refuse to vote for a bill that would put real pressure on Wall st.
That's bad.
But you know what's worse? How EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN was against it and would have voted against ANYTHING to defend the middle class from Wall St, no matter how watered down.
UseYerEFFINBrain ...owebummer in-stall-ed a few percent less on PAYDAY loans for his grifter illegal alien voters to not be so badly conned ...thats his legacy! ...oh and installin the Mao ornament on the1st annual whitehouse xmas tree
smowkdaddy even now, as we sit jobless & covered in black oil. We have something to look forward to! It is the debate Obama is going to have to do in front of all of America in his next Scam-pain bid. Whoever debates obama? Is gonna wip his arse in an open unfiltered debate! Klock his KKK black liberation reparation ruinous plan over his head. They will list out the lies. And the entire nation will see his dolls eyes glaring as he gets turned into powdered toast on our TV's. It will be AWESOME
@smowkdaddy right on a very small government the states should have their own and screw the federal government which have become nothing more than a burden on the tax payers for nothing,they don't do their job and never will
@smowkdaddy That mantra won't get us anywhere with the mess we're in right now. If it wasn't for the gov. taking over the auto companies we would have lost millions of jobs. As it turns out the car industry has paid back those loans and are starting to grow again. Obama did the right thing.
@smowkdaddy Oh yes, smaller Gov't will do just that right? Are you forgetting that this country almost fell off a cliff in 08? Give me a break here. It was the gov't that had to stop that from happening.
Fringe it never fails to amuse me how stupid democrats are. They keep parroting obama "republicans have nothin to offer" = really? The List has been out for weeks obot = streamline & stop government expansion, HALT NEW HIRES. Stop this crazy overspending spree of obamas. Reduce taxes further. Stop eco nazi agenda. Drill more to make gas cheaper for transportation deliveries. ..and this is just the top of the total list of WHAT REPUBLICAN & INDEPENDENTS WILL DO & "fringy" ignores like a dunce
@memama2 Republicans don't have anything to offer except to do away with Social security, Medicare, public schools and no job creation. That's about what they would do. They've even said as much. Give me a break.
@Fringe111 No elected Republican would have the guts to "do away with' social security or Medicare. No GOP leaders suggested it.
I don't care if kids go to "public" schools or if the government provides them vouchers to go to private schools as long as they go to the best schools possible. Do you find preserving the status quo public system more important than raising the quality level of primary education?
How many jobs has the Obama stimulus created? How much has unemployment dropped?
@FAHayek89 Actually Paul Ryan has been doing exactly that.Look up the ARRA and see exactly how many jobs have been created.It's keeping plenty of Ironworkers working-along with other Trades.
The government is corrupt. Bush being a sub-set of that. Obama being a sub-set of that. Clinton being a sub-set of that. Daddy Bush being a sub-set of that.
And so on. They only do what the financiers who put them there want.
interwebbist ..it appears IWLocal8 ...has blocked me from responding to his grifter gibberish! He does not want anyone to tell him that his entire union should GET FIRED! ....his union boss thugs should get rolled for their bloated pay. FIRED TOO! and NOT be rootin around our wallets for their "here piggy piggy piggy" welfare trough of monies they are attempting to continue to steal from all of us. Obama spends more time meeting with SEIU and teacher unions than he has with military top brass
@memama2 Sorry I don't have anyone blocked. I'm an elected officer.Unlike big corporations we ELECT our leaders every 3 years. I actually LOSE money being an officer as I have to take off from my 40 hrs/wk job in order to attend meetings.
Thanks for proving beyond a doubt you are clueless about Unions
@interwebbist Yep - the teabaggers would go back to acting normal instead of being Beck-zombies I can't wait until he tries to convert them to Mormonism!
Wait - he'll be too busy counting their money and buying Kleenex.
IWLocal8 ...yer comment "counting their money" ..??? ..tells us you who you are lookin TO STRONG ARM ROB WITH OBAMAS HELP = Republicans! They worked hard and saved and you and Obysmal now need some quick cash for your retirements huh? .....good job admittin your money source and declaring your intent! ..and we ARE gonna need kleenex when we see those monies spent on obama welfare pimp - illegal alien programs and watching you knaw on your big beef rib at the 1st annual obama celebratory BBQ
@memama2 Clinton handed Dubya a surplus.Dubya took it and drove that into the largest deficit in recorded history. That's what he left Obama with on day 1.
IWLocal8 = you are an offical DIM Dr demento douche drone......the largest "deef-hee-sit" ....is now an obama lei ~ and its choking us all to death! ....keep on lying liberal its all over Nov 2
@smowkdaddy The teabaggers get their funding from Americans For Prosperity.Look that group up and see what other issues they push. Wow-never ceases to amaze me the things people don't know about groups they join.
@IWLocal8 ~ LOL! Americans for prosprity? Perhaps wed be better if we settle for ACORNS motivation that involves socialism and government takeover to rebuild! No thank you!
Is Obama, and are democrats, completely immune to this influence? No
Does wall street influence democrats? Yes
But are Republicans completely and utterly in bed with Wall Street, is their plan to privatize social security and let their wall street buddies play with your retirement money? YES
Just because Democrats aren't perfect is NOT a good reason for voting for Republicans, which are irrefutably, undeniably much much worse.
@UseYerEFFINBrain we need to vote for Americans that care and get rid of the career polititions no matter what is next to their name,if they have been in office for more than 2 terms they are corrupt and need to go.
@ajack50 What an irrational way to pick who to vote for. Really? You don't care at all about their voting records - only whether they have served two terms or not? So do you think that career politicians like Jefferson, Adams, and Monroe should have been voted out of office after two terms? America has never been a nation of farmer politicians who serve a term or two and go home - even our founders were career politicians. The intelligent voter can look at individuals, positions, and records.
If your fighting for America workers then your not working hard enough. I was lied on with faise allegations and it's bad because. They came against my character and i am a victim and the law changed. in 1964 didn't change the people it just changed the rules and which still have gaps still.

I was willing to work at a local Jeans shop but the pay was complete shit. 5/6 dollars an hour with taxes, assembling jeans. Having or not having skills isn't the problem, it's the wages. My boss drove a 2010 BMW and was wanting more for him, less for us. Fucking greedy bastard. It's getting harder to live, no wonder people are killing others and wanting to go to jail.

Unions made sense when they started, when job mobility didn't exist. Now, it's just legal organized crime. If your wages or benefits are not satisfactory, go do something else. If someone else is willing to do your job for less money, than that is the prevailing wage.

We have a much better shot with democrats than we do with republicans and the democrats have done better with this recession which is much more severe than the recession under Reagan where unemployment went to 10.8 % and stayed at 10% for over 10 month. I do have to admit though that the strategy of the right to smear and attack with anything they could make up out of thin air that started before Obama was even inaugated has been effective unfortunately.

@barsense I understand, but really, why would anyone think that Obama Care would bring us out of recession while it's bringing us deeper. The problem is within the Public sector. Especially Teachers. Unions are destroying the Middle class. The government will do ANYTHING to please the Unions because why? The Unions will vote for them. They need to stop giving so much money or lower the benefits.

@AfroGangsta10 I support unions public or whatever, unions are what keep wages and benefits at more reasonalble rates for all Americans. in right to starve non union states the average wage is poverty wage and even college graduates are working for little better than poverty wages. I find it totally ridiculous that people are whining about unions which is what sustains a middle income range with their measly salaries compared to top income billions a year that they do not want to see cut
barsense 1 year ago
@barsense But do you think it's fair that the public sector has both better benefits and paychecks than the private? Unions are destroying the middle class. It's not fair that jobs like being a Teacher, have better benefits and most of the time paychecks than the people that actually work hard for a living. Why do you think states like California and New Jersey are just going to hell right now. Because they are made up of Unions.
AfroGangsta10 1 year ago
@AfroGangsta10 It is not unions that are destroying the middle income , public workers ARE among the middle income that top income is trying to destroy. Public workers in some cases earn more than private and in some cases earn less than private. There are many areas where a person with the same qualfications and education can earn more in private than in public service. But unions is what keeps wages and benefits higher for both public and private industry workers.

@barsense Your not understanding. Here is how it used to be years ago
Public- Great benefits, Average salary
Private- Measly benefits, Above average salary.
In the Private you work hard, and you get paid for what you do, you can be fired at any time, and you have to take risks in order to succeed.
Now the Public, Great benefits and Great pay now. Teachers work for 6 hours, NEVER get fired, Public has Tenor. Yes some jobs like Police should have good everything, but for most, no. UNFAIR

@barsense That is not true at all. I have many relatives that are public workers and many that are private workers, some do better as public workers and some earn better wages and benefits as private workers and it depends mostly on how much higher education that many are still paying for. I can promise you that in non union right to starve states like mine the large majority of private workers are paid poverty wages and even college grads not much better regardless of public or private

Unions generate an increase in wages and benefits offered for all businesses that can afford to pay more that need good employees, without unions wages and benefits stay very low.

@barsense The unemployment rate in Detroit, the heart of the industrial labor union, is officially at about 30%, but joblessness is estimated to be closer to 50%. Over a third of the city's residents live below the poverty line. How are wages and benefits working out in union country?

barsense 1 year ago
@barsense You need to distinguish between the poverty rate in the Detroit Metro Area and the city of Detroit itself. 13.1% represents the over four million people living in the city of Detroit and suburbs. In the city limits, the number approaches an official count of 30%. Problematically, official numbers do not count part time workers looking for full time work or workers who have dropped out of the search completely. The city's mayor, a Democrat, suggests the real rate may be nearly 50%.

@FAHayek89 No problem .In 2002 23.2 percent of Detroit residents were considered poor by the Census Bureau.

As you can see I did check and is now at 30% due to globalization policies with the added stress of the recession. El Paso TX. is next in line at 29% for the same reasons.

@barsense I have no dispute on your numbers, but I think we differ on the causes. While I acknowledge that globalization leads to loss in certain types of jobs, I think there is good evidence that free trade has led to an overall increase of total jobs and of total wealth.
I'd suggest that most economists would take my position. I don't think this form gives enough space for that level of economic argument though, and it is one that noble laureates disagree on.

@barsense What concerns me even more is the economic/military rise of China. Unfortunately, we can’t close the rest of the world as a market to them, so our action on trade would do little to impede their growth.
What would impede their growth would be reduction of the heavy debt we owe them. But cutting debt requires cutting spending (including social spending and farm/corporate welfare). Neither party has any strong desire to do that base on the current and last POTUS.

@barsense I've got some concerns about manufacturing, but for national security more than economic reasons. At the same time, the reality is that the U.S. has largely dominated GATT/WTO negotiations. We manage to keep plenty of tariffs in place, though not always the smartest tariffs. Instead of protecting "infant" industries or unequal wage disparity, the political reality is that tariffs protect those groups who can maintain domestic political power and hurt consumers.

@barsense It was no shock that the auto makers had a failed business model. Any actuary could have told them their benefits packages were unsustainable at both the executive and labor levels (thus the infamous legacy costs). Nor were they making cars that people wanted to buy. In the year they filed bankruptcy, Chrysler did not have a single Consumer Reports recommended car for quality. Labor and management both share blame. The taxpayer share none, and thus shouldn’t shoulder the cost.

3:54 - 4:00 excellent point.
I like the video in the first 5 minutes.
I have a job, I never got a raise for my hard work. I get stuck at the bottom every year. 6:15
I hope middle class families do better and I hope you mean it, cause this is hard to deal with, seeing people losing jobs everyday because of upper class greed.
I wish I was a music teacher. I want to go back to school, but I need to be on the right medication first.
Thank goodness for Barrack Obama. God Bless America.

Why can't Obama stay on the offense like this? He would be the world greatest leader if he only pushed for his ideas instead of listening to the conservatives with their bad ideas.

Who is the Obama regime fighting for his workers? This is our countries worst president ever. BOOB Borack Obama Out of Business in 2010. Between vacations and complaining when does he work. He kinda sounds like Jimmy Hoffa, fighting for and taking from all of his union member. Yep sounds like a president, "in da house" and "give it up". This evil man has got to go.

Some people want to give power back to those who destroyed our country, because they aren't happy with how quickly Obama is rebuilding it.
Amazing.

@interwebbist You are either completely confused or purposely spreading deceitful lies. The president passed a bill to reform Wall St. Wall St. lobbyists and republicans fought hard to stop the reform but the Democrats got it done.

@RichardE8ST
do you know just how watered-down it is? Who is confused?
interwebbist 1 year ago
Yes, the reform bill is watered down.
Some of the democrats in congress get so much money from congress that they'd refuse to vote for a bill that would put real pressure on Wall st.
That's bad.
But you know what's worse? How EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN was against it and would have voted against ANYTHING to defend the middle class from Wall St, no matter how watered down.
UseYerEFFINBrain 1 year ago
I am not saying "This is the best Obama could do, be satisfied". Not at all.
Keep holding Obama accountable, keep holding Congress's feet to the fire. When they mess up, CALL THEM ON IT and stir up a hornet's nest.
But don' go voting for the ones that are unapologetically 100% against you and 100% for Wall St.
Don't go voting for the ones who created the mess Obama is trying to fix.

Name one President in US history who was less of an agent of Wall St than Obama is.
Bush? He wasn't Wall's St agent. He was their little bitch.
Clinton? VERY Corporatist
Bush senior? Please
Reagan? Really??
Seriously, name me one Prez that has stood up to Wall St.
Is Obama doing great? No. Is he doing better than any pother before him? Yes.
Should we pat him on the back? NO Should we keep putting pressure on him? YES

@memama2 Republicans don't have anything to offer except to do away with Social security, Medicare, public schools and no job creation. That's about what they would do. They've even said as much. Give me a break.
Fringe111 1 year ago
@Fringe111 No elected Republican would have the guts to "do away with' social security or Medicare. No GOP leaders suggested it.
I don't care if kids go to "public" schools or if the government provides them vouchers to go to private schools as long as they go to the best schools possible. Do you find preserving the status quo public system more important than raising the quality level of primary education?
How many jobs has the Obama stimulus created? How much has unemployment dropped?

Look, does Wall Street have influence? Yes.
Is Obama, and are democrats, completely immune to this influence? No
Does wall street influence democrats? Yes
But are Republicans completely and utterly in bed with Wall Street, is their plan to privatize social security and let their wall street buddies play with your retirement money? YES
Just because Democrats aren't perfect is NOT a good reason for voting for Republicans, which are irrefutably, undeniably much much worse.

@UseYerEFFINBrain we need to vote for Americans that care and get rid of the career polititions no matter what is next to their name,if they have been in office for more than 2 terms they are corrupt and need to go.
ajack50 1 year ago
@ajack50 What an irrational way to pick who to vote for. Really? You don't care at all about their voting records - only whether they have served two terms or not? So do you think that career politicians like Jefferson, Adams, and Monroe should have been voted out of office after two terms? America has never been a nation of farmer politicians who serve a term or two and go home - even our founders were career politicians. The intelligent voter can look at individuals, positions, and records.
