January 8th, 2009 at 04:27:49 At least machines do not litter, fail high school, cost millions is immigration control, and fill up our jails! Shit at least I can understand the robot when checking out from a store!!!

January 8th, 2009 at 05:13:47 if govt didnt impose the benefits and therefore increase the cost of production the company would be more successful allowing the worker more money to buy adequate healthcare. If the govt stopped getting involved in health care it would go a long way in increasing the competition and lower the cost.
January 8th, 2009 at 05:36:46 thank the UAW for that. Alabama and the southern states are doing fine with auto manufacturing jobs. Govt, licensing of doctors and their creation of HMO's is what is plaguing the health care industry.
January 8th, 2009 at 05:59:45 You're a total idiot. Michigan's economy is dead. So is Ohio's. It all started becoming noticeable around 2005 and is now quite out of our control. Finding a job in Michigan for more than $10 an hour WITH a college education is almost unrealistic at this point. Seriously. It's that bad. If you're not a doctor, you're either fucked or really worried. And we can't just all be doctors. Especially now that no one has insurance.
January 8th, 2009 at 06:22:44 yea 26 million more low paying crappy jobs with no benefits. remove your head from your anus drew
January 8th, 2009 at 06:45:43 Hey Drew you forgot to mention that the ONLY reason any of this is a problem is because the fascist fucks that run the corporations don't want to any of the benefits to go to the workers. They like making $300 million a year for running the country into the ground. And I noticed that you only showed Democratic politicians as though Republicans had nothing to say on the subject. Conservatives are idiots. That's why we threw them the fuck out.
January 8th, 2009 at 07:08:42 I'm sure the Mexicans enjoy working up here moving away from their home country due to NAFTA. And the others with their families left in Mexico while they send the money back home while they work here in the US. I've seen it first hand within Hispanic communities. Oh yeah, they just loving it up here. We fix the NAFTA agreement and many of them would love to return home. As far as I'm concerned we screwed them so until we change it we (US) can't complain or at least accept being a hypocrite.
January 8th, 2009 at 07:31:41 Drew, stick with comedy, your way off on free-trade and NAFTA. You dont even address the Mexican farmers losing their farms to subsidized US farmers. The so called abundant employment surge are now part-time jobs with people working more than one job for minimum wage. They were laid off from a full time job with benefits before NAFTA. Wish Hollywood people would use their money to educate themselves so they can think for themselves. Hire yourself an honest economist to explain Protectionism
January 8th, 2009 at 07:54:40 You're quoting a criminal who is helping oversee the largest defrauding of any people in history, as an expert on the economy to be trusted. Let me guess, you haven't yet figured out that the so-called "toxic assets" you are buying from banks are in fact non-assets. A house that doesn't exist is mortgaged, that mortgage is leveraged into 10 derivatives, and when people realize a derivative based on mortgages for homes that don't exist are worthless, you're happy to buy them from Lehman Bros.
January 8th, 2009 at 08:17:39 Your economy destroys more value than it creates, and you think it is insightful to focus on job shipping, job destruction, service-sector contract work as job creation, and don't worry, "globalization and mechanization are more efficient and therefor more is produced." You fail to see the increased inequity in distribution of those goods, and the real costs of making them. Increased cancer rates. The erosion of human rights. The erosion of the rule of law... Don't sell wisdom you don't have.
January 8th, 2009 at 08:40:38 You're saying it isn't about jobs being shipped overseas, but instead about jobs being eliminated by machines. In reality it is about the total costs of the means of production and the distribution of what is produced. You have taxes that progress until you're wealthy enough to nearly stop paying them entirely. You've got a tax on money (inflation) that keeps the poor poor by eroding their direct and investment incomes. You've got a market propped up by 1/2 to 1 trillion in illicit funds/annum.
January 8th, 2009 at 09:03:37 NAFTA didn't help Mexican workers. It lowered Mexican real wages for the avg worker and devastated Mexico's farming industry by forcing unfair competition with subsidized US corporate farms. Now literally half of Mexico's exports to the USA are just a bunch US car parts, manufactured in the USA, assembled in Mexico, and shipped back into the US. That is not growth. NAFTA also made it easier for corporations like Metalclad to dump toxic waste into Mexican water supplies with impunity.
January 8th, 2009 at 09:26:36 Ben Bernanke: only 2% of jobs have been lost due to free trade, and more have been created than lost. People always tell stories of some guy who losat his job bc a factory shut down and junk, saying its 'unfair' and how hard they have it . The Mexicans come to US bc theyre broke and cant find jobs there, and bc excess labor pushes wages down. Those NAFTA jobs have lifted MILLIONS of Mexicans out of poverty. Displaced US workers are short term effects of free trade, they can be retrained.
January 8th, 2009 at 09:49:35 american workers have seen the benefits of mechanization and "machines". the assembly line, the PC, etc. what benefits have we seen from nafta? 12 million illegal immigrants, a boost in subsidies for businesses, the stagnant/declining growth in american manufacturing, etc. shanklinmike says "protectionism" isn't helping china... then shouldn't they reverse that awful policy? funny, one of the same people who sold us nafta is now seeling us on the global warming apocalypse, AL GORE!
January 8th, 2009 at 10:12:34 Robert Williams (c. 1954 January 25, 1979), the first victim in man's struggle against the machines.
January 8th, 2009 at 10:35:33 Jajaja, everybody complains about NAFTA, here in Mexico the people says that the americans take advantage of our industry... ...maybe its true, USA is gaining more benefits than Mexico...
January 8th, 2009 at 10:58:32 I wish drew would run for president. We need someone who supports beer and coffee together and can point out the obvious.
January 8th, 2009 at 11:21:31 haa haa haa yes we can
January 8th, 2009 at 11:44:30 NAFTA might be better than protectionism but it ISN'T better than true free trade.....NAFTA is too much government trade still.....we need REAL free trade!
January 8th, 2009 at 12:07:29 China is doing better because they capitalized......just because they are growing does NOT mean they are anywhere near our level of prosperity...... China's protectionism isn't why they are booming.....its because they stopped government control over production........ Protectionism is NOT beneficial in the long-run as it allows government to oligopolize!
January 8th, 2009 at 12:30:28 What was the robot movie where it cut the guys head off!? Does anyone know? (Not the Terminator clip)??
January 8th, 2009 at 12:53:27 Another thing. China has the lowest trade deficit in the world, and the largest trade surplus. Why is that? You can't sell products in their country, unless you have a physical company presence in the country. Unless you employ Chinese people, you're not selling products there. Protectionism is working pretty damn well for China. Look at how well the US is doing without it. Lou Dobbs also pointed out in his book "War On The Middle Class" China has a 25% tariff in place the US to China 3%
January 8th, 2009 at 13:16:26 Drew Carey is a jackass who's job is not effected by NAFTA. mrxfromplanetx(.)com/orwell-rolls-in-his-grave According to the nonpartisan congressional Budget Office: between 1979 and 1997, income for families in the middle rose 9% from $41,000 to $45,100, while income for families in the top 1% rose from $420,000 to $1,016,000 — a 140% increase. Google Bernie Sanders and NAFTA and you'll come up with a great article how it hurt people in both Mexico and the US.
January 8th, 2009 at 13:39:25 Thik as an employer, why not employ mexican labor if they work harder and better than you, cheaper is a plus. You want to get money doing nothing?, better study more and get more money.
