Yeah, I didn't believe Republicans were such big fans of Planet of the Apes either until I saw how f-ed up the concept was in-practice!

There are 1.9 million fewer jobs, but you must also add the approximate 1.4 million increase in the working population and say that about 3.3 million people have lost their jobs this year. Someone please explain how I am not correct and CNN is right. Wolf Blitzer on CNN’s Situation Room today said that 1.9 million people have lost their jobs this year, but that is false.

It is also CYBERNATION. All those much tauted gains in Productivity are because MACHINES are allowing those lucky enough to have jobs ,to produce lots more stuff with lot less people. This started in Agriculture where one Farmers with modern tractors and equipment can do the work formerly done by hundreds of people and scores of mules. About 6% of the population now feeds America. Now , with computers, Cybernation has moved into the white collar workforce. Press #1 to talk to an actual human. All this was supposed to give workers more free time, and less drudgery....but what it gave was Million dollar Bonuses for the CEO's and a falling standard of living for Workers.

I personally know 5 people, who have always been full-time workers, 3 highly educated, who are struggling to find employment or a second job to make ends meet. In my financial aid office, I hear sad stories from desperate parents and students on a daily basis. I pray we start to recover quickly from this economic debacle.
