Imagine what the United States economy would be like TODAY! IF... we had IGNORED THE LEFT!

I love it when delusional Republicans start these kinds of posts. Remember, GOP governors go to Blue States looking for skilled liberals to come to Red States and work because Republicans are simply too stupid to learn anything complicated.

Oregon's economy sucks.

Texas is booming.

Red States are looking for workers because they have jobs !!!

Don't get that economics "thing" do you ?

Red states are looking for workers because they're generally armpits where nobody wants live.

That must be why Texas is booming...and places like New York, Kalifornia, and Massachusetts are imploding.

Look at how Texas is #1 dipshit:

Texas ranks:

More workers die here (Texas) than in any other state. On average, a Texas worker is 12 percent more likely to be killed on the job than someone doing the same job elsewhere, according to a Dallas Morning News analysis of federal data.
Death on the job Dallas Morning News

Which is fucking sad since Texas has the greatest number of uninsured:

This might help Texas since they are #50 in workers without High School Diplomas:

7 Oil Field Jobs Companies Are Desperate To Fill

Check out this job:
3. Floorhand/Leasehand/Roustabout

Why It's In Demand: The more wells you have running, the more crewmen you need. The name changes depending on the company, but these lower-level hands have to do it all. Brian Aylor, a lease operator, says he calls in the roustabout crew when he can't fix something on the well himself.

What It Pays: $54,000 (according to the Drilling Oil and Natural Gas Wells Salary Survey).

Why It's A Tough Gig: The roustabout does a lot of the essential things on the rig sites that require less technical know-how. "It's going to be manual labor. It's going to be hard work," says Aylor. "Running a shovel, swinging a hammer ... building on locations, maintenance on equipment out in the fields."

"You've got to be a hands-on type of person, and not be afraid to get dirty, and not be afraid to lift heavy things and be around dangerous machinery," says Benham.

Qualifications: A roughneck needs a high school diploma or equivalent, and to be able to lift 150 pounds with the aid of another person, and stand for 12 hours wearing steel-toed boots.

See? even for that dangerous and tiresome job which I'm sure is highly contested, you need a high school diploma. And what is the career length for something this strenuous?

Texas continues to lead the nation in having the most number of people lacking health insurance — including the highest rate of uninsured children.

Texas also has the highest rate of adults — some 55 percent — earning less than 138 percent of the federal poverty threshold who lack insurance.

Today, we would have THRIVING Textile, Steel, Electronics and Auto-manufacturing industries, where tens of millions of good, highly skilled people would be making excellent wages... providing high quality products, which would be sold throughout the world. Teenagers would be working in low-skilled service jobs, making the wage which reflects minimum skills and everyone would understand that THAT IS HOW CHILDREN ACQUIRE MARKETABLE SKILLS... .

Black families would be thriving with a majority of such having two parents of the distinct gender... and US Medical Care would be cheap and plentiful and the envy of the species.

But no... Instead we sought to normalize abnormal, perverse reasoning and those industries are GONE!

We don't have to imagine... We've already been there...

That's wishful thinking to the extreme.

So... Well let me ask ya this: If the US Dollar were worth today, what the US Dollar was worth in 1950, prior to the Left's drive to destroy the US... . What do you suppose a person making $5/hour, who worked 60/week could buy with that?

Ignored the left? Well that would mean no unions, child labor, no environmental controls, no worker safety rules, no worker's comp, no unemployment insurance, no minimum wage. No 40 hour work week. No vacations. No sick time. No maternity leave. No benefits. Sounds like a real paradise.

Are you saying we would be competitive with near-slave labor in Asia for manufacturing?

That's wishful thinking to the extreme.

Thing is...
...when our capitalist class (who owns our politicians) partnered with Communist China for its cheap labor, the result was that a whole generation of middle class Americans would require ever larger amounts of credit (debt) to replace their wages. This kind of credit-based system works for a little while, but eventually too many consumers become too indebted to consume at the needed levels to drive economic growth.

When this happens, you need more talk radio - more propaganda - to convince the poor consumer that it's gubmint's fault (rather than the wealthy puppet masters who own government).

Reagan promised that if we lifted the chains from business, they would give us good American jobs. Who knew the joke would be on us? Who knew they would partner with freedom hating nations in order to get oppressed sweatshop labor.

Point is: Nike investors make more money when their sneaks are made in sweatshops by workers who live beneath brutal dictators and make less than $5/day. If you want to know where the American Dream went, than look at the criminally bloated portfolios of those who profited by shifting global production to freedom hating nations. (and you thought the Republican Party cared about freedom? Their biggest donors are the very corporations who have made insane profits by partnering with despots for ultra cheap labor. It's a sad game, and the punchline is delivered at the expense of those people who are strategically distracted by the culture war).

Do you think Fox News ever mentions the partnership between Walmart and their primary manufacturer, China, a freedom hating nation if ever there was one? Of course not. Fox News would never attack one of the largest contributors to the Republican Party.

Well said. I think it's strange that the most rabid Fox viewers seem to be the people who are marginally educated and will be the first to lose their jobs to China. Maybe the anger towards the government and the hope that that anger will produce some change in their favor is all they have left.

I'm sure you have a PhD. Just not sure what it would stand for.

But, obviously, they forgot to teach how to support your accusations with any kind of facts.

Can you please show us the study that links Fox viewership to education.

If you want to know where the American Dream went, than look at the criminally bloated portfolios of those who profited by shifting global production to freedom hating nations. (and you thought the Republican Party cared about freedom? Their biggest donors are the very corporations who have made insane profits by partnering with despots for ultra cheap labor. It's a sad game, and the punchline is delivered at the expense of those people who are strategically distracted by the culture war).

Do you think Fox News ever mentions the partnership between Walmart and their primary manufacturer, China, a freedom hating nation if ever there was one? Of course not. Fox News would never attack one of the largest contributors to the Republican Party.

Well said. I think it's strange that the most rabid Fox viewers seem to be the people who are marginally educated and will be the first to lose their jobs to China. Maybe the anger towards the government and the hope that that anger will produce some change in their favor is all they have left.

I'm sure you have a PhD. Just not sure what it would stand for.

But, obviously, they forgot to teach how to support your accusations with any kind of facts.

Can you please show us the study that links Fox viewership to education.

I'd be grateful.

And you would not look so utterly stupid.

Now aren't you grateful...

My apologies in advance, but your link means nothing with respect to Joeblow's post.

He talks about about them being marginally educated and the first to lose their jobs. I am not a Fox News Person (except on occasion...but I also suffer through the Rachael Maddow Comedy Hour...and Ed Shults (is he still on the air) is very educational.... ....but I digress.

Your post has to do with viewers being able to answer questions on international news. I don't see the connection to being employable. Or did I miss another link ?

BTW: The article is no more complementary to MSNBC than it is to Fox.

That is probably where you work and interact. I work in an industry where actually knowing about the real world is considered an asset.
But hey I make just short of $250k a year in IT.

Thing is...
...when our capitalist class (who owns our politicians) partnered with Communist China for its cheap labor, the result was that a whole generation of middle class Americans would require ever larger amounts of credit (debt) to replace their wages. This kind of credit-based system works for a little while, but eventually too many consumers become too indebted to consume at the needed levels to drive economic growth.

When this happens, you need more talk radio - more propaganda - to convince the poor consumer that it's gubmint's fault (rather than the wealthy puppet masters who own government).

I am sorry...but some of your response got left out ? Did you address my points ?

As to your salary....I am always impressed when people on the internet tell us how much they make. Did you know One-Percenter makes 25 Million a year ?
