Where Is My Job? Find Out Where the Jobs Went

-Doing right is even harder than it sounds o_o?-


Most everyone knows someone that is out of work.  If you are one of the unlucky ones or know one of the unemployed, the following sight will enable you to click on your geographical area in the lower 48 and show in most cases show what happened to a particular plant and how many jobs were lost at that
particular installation.  You can also find out who your congressman and senator is.  Just in case you do not know.  NAFTA was touted as a Trade agreement but it is more an Investment agreement  than anything else.
  After being in effect for twenty years it has clearly failed.  Having contributed to economic woes in the U.S.  and it has left Mexico and (as a side effect) most of Central America on the verge of general civil war.  The problems that Mexico and the U.S. face are complex and we can not be absolutely sure about how to fix the U.S. and Mexico economy.  But there is one thing for sure.  NAFTA doesn't work for the people.  (Except for an elite group of agile investors. NAFTA works fine for these elites that  consider  ten million dollars a year as less than  minimum wage.)

The U.S. economy is in a coma now for two years.  Keynesian economics does not work under expanded limits.  It is like putting an anodyne on a patient starved for an infusion of fluids.  The Feds are behaving like someone that has lost their job and continues to eat out at expensive restaurants.   We need to cut expenses and stop borrowing.  The Federal Government is acting like an eighteenth century physicians bleeding their wounded and anemic patients to death.  Based on an esoteric theory of humours and bile from before the dawn of science and modern medicine.  Close the wound, i.e., the hemorrhaging from unnecessary increases debt payments. Stop bleeding the patient, that is, stop increasing the debt.  And for God's sake take the shackles off the unfortunate and let him get some soup.  We have had calculus  for centuries and computers for decades. It is clear that our present accrual of debt in relation to production graph has a hole in it where economic activity as we know it crashes.  Halt NAFTA  or at least stop the hemorrhaging national debt.
