George Bush and His Corporate Cronies Say It's the Barbecue Rotisserie for Working Americans. Unconcerned about the economic consequences of job offshoring facing American workers, George Bush signed a report supporting shifting U.S. jobs overseas. (Incidentally, the biggest job exporters contributed $3.6 Million to Republicans.) Manufacturing jobs have been so badly hit that the 'Made in America logo" is hard to find on store shelves. Bush's solution is to classify fast food jobs as manufacturing. Now, offshoring white collar jobs and tech jobs has begun zealously. Bush aides nervously promise that Americans will eventually benefit. But, the chance of it ever happening is dependant on the improbability of a slue of dubious economic theories all coming to fruition along with full employment, world-wide. In addition, thousands more U.S. workers are being cut out of the American pie by the current corporate mythology of 'downsizing increases profitability' with the survivors struggling to do the work of two. Bush's corporate cronies are allowed foreign incorporation in order to dump their tax loads on working Americans and to relax their air pollution and water pollution limits, increasing sickness in America. Finally, George Bush and the Republican Congress are attempting to impoverish and make politically impotent American workers by attacking protective labor laws and objecting to a union using dues as political contributions. However, they fully support corporate contributions with stockholder investments, citing free speech recognition.
