The job sections of both the
Tampa Tribune and the St Petersburg Times were 10 pages yesterday. The lowest I have ever seen them. We must really be TURNING THE CORNER Shrub !!!!!!!!!!

Cleveland's are no better. I think the Sunday job sections are shrinking heavily in nearly all mid-market cities but in a scant few areas (like D.C.), they're still thick. Yet not everyone can afford to live in D.C. or San Fran.

I consistently called bullshite on the continued assertion by Rethugs that the tax cuts benefitting the wealthy would create hundreds of thousands of good paying jobs and surprisingly, I was dead on (/sarcasm). If the principle of making the rich enormously richer, overestimating their generosity and hoping some of the wealth "trickles down" didn't work in the late 80s and early 90s, what makes ANYONE expect it will work now?

2. Are you saying the "tinkle down theory" doesn't work?
Anyone who wants to work can, as long as they are willing to take $5/hr.
