What I'm hearing you say is that it's all the Republicans' fault and none of the Democrats' fault. But in truth, it is partially the Republicans' fault and it is partially the Democrats' fault. The foundational cause of the mess were in is because MCIs -- Multi-Cultural Internationalists -- on the left, those who rule the Dems, and the CGEs -- Corporate Global Expansionists -- on the right, those who rule the Repubs, have for a number of decades now favored the transfer of Americans' living-wage jobs to people of other-country citizenship, the MCIs for their dysfunctional social reasons, and the CGEs for their obsessive economic reasons. For more on the matter, read this: Political Action to Get our Jobs Back! I greatly caution anyone to avoid getting sucked into the liberal v conservative bipolar conflict of "we're right and you're wrong", as it leads to blindness to the truth and associated ideological irrationality. The severe un- and under- employment crisis needs solutions, solutions that cannot be found when one's head is enmeshed in the liberal v. conservative bipolar conflict dysfunction.
