> Cindy Sheehan: "The Secret Service is Trying to Intimidate Us"

9 August 2005, 01:03

The damage to the domestic job market done by this President, and his last three predecessors, guarantees that Cindy Sheehan’s son, and hundreds of thousands like him, have only one real option to come close to the same life style their parents brought them up with. Join the military.

McDonalds and Wal-Mart are always hiring, at pay rates that no one in the 1980’s would take, given any other option. It is a travesty that five of the richest people in this country are named Walton and that fortune was built the way it was.

Here in this country, once your six months of unemployment expires, you disappear from the unemployment statistics. The only reason the unemployment rate is so low is that the long term unemployed have been bureaucraticly erased. The poor domestic job market makes the "back door draft" possible. The back door draft is how the puppet government of Iraq is managing to recruit so many people (70% unemployment).At the same time, in this country, the majority of people are working longer work weeks, not saving anything or even borrowing against the equity in their homes, in order to continue what they believe is a normal life style. You have to wonder about the kids that would volunteer to defend this kind of an economic system. By the way, what kind of a jerk would sneer in the face of a mother whose son had been killed unnecessarily in the service of his country. You must be a Republican!
