There’s really nothing anyone can do. Since Reagan, several trillion taxpayer dollars were redistributed upward specifically for the purpose of job creation. The entire system of basic aid to impoverished Americans (welfare) was wiped out, with that money then specifically slated for job creation.It just wasn’t enough. We have to keep making sacrifices until it finally works, creating that abundance of family-supporting jobs.

Deficits are created by lack of jobs.

58,000 closed in first decade of this century.
One sources estimates we lost $245 Billion in manufacturing wages
in that sordid decade due to loss of 5.5 Million mfg jobs.
China has been the big cheese encouraging movements into large modern plants built and subsidized by the government. End China currency manipulation. That is est. to get us 1 million jobs.

The union is not there to make it’s members better human beings, I guess. But for AFSCME to take a stand to keep open Tamms is going too far in catering to its members. People who work in Tamms must be given different work and the union should stand up for the bottom .1% of the 99%.
