My hometown newspaper has stories about the city commission meetings and people getting tickets for not cutting their yards. It wouldn't have that chart- color is reserved for kids or pets.

Did you read what I said in response to you about this point? I can't tell whether you didn't bother to read my last post or whether you're confused.

OK. Do you think our government has anything to do with any of this? I submit that the fundamental trend has been around for a while, but that GOP policies are exacerbating the effects on the median worker.

Burger is going to point out that American car makers, e.g., where subsidized by workers who bought American even if the other cars were better, and that this meant that they didn't need to make better cars.

no shit, although people who actually worked in those factories tell stories that point out that the workers very much at fault for the quality. Vicious circle.
I was deposing a guy who had moved his production to Mexico from fresno. We're going over his financials- and there's a line item: $1500 Xmas bonus
Now this was a 200 worker factory. i asked if that were "per worker." nope $1500 overall.
It is hard to compete with that and pay people those prior union wages. Maybe it's NAFTA or something to blame. I. Don't. Know.
but to blame this on bush is equivalent to blaming him for causing Global warming (such as it is).
