05/09/2006 | Not a failure of the present administration because the problem goes beyond a particular administration.

05/09/2006 | I have written ad nauseum in other posts about Factor Price Equalization that arises when a country has unfettered free trade. The production dollar seeks its cheapest venue, i.e. you take a textile job paying $8.00 an hour in South Carolina and transfer it to Indonesia where you pay $0.80 per hour. Even if it costs you $2.00 per hour to ship the goods back to SC, you still clear $8.00 minus $2.80 equals $5.20.
This has been the policy of the USA since the first Kennedy Round of tariff reductions in the early 1960's. To tag Bush with this us grossly unfair and downright ignorant.
To state that he supports free trade and that is stupid in today's world is fair.

05/09/2006 | Ridiculous inclusion, even for a "bash Bush" list like this. Do you really think it is the responsibility of the president to micromanage the staffing decisions of individual companies? You must need a king. Do you really believe that this phenomenon was not present during the Clinton administration, nothing having been done to stop it (as if they could) in 8 years? Do you really think the burger and fries jokes are unique to the GWB presidency? Sorry, that was the knock on Reagan's economy where 19 million new jobs were created between 1984 and 1988. "Yeah, but they're all hamburger flippin' jobs . . . " Funny, you never heard that during Clinton's time in office, though very few new manufacturing jobs had been created.

05/08/2006 | Not sure how to rate these two completely different issues. Outsourcing is hardly a corrupt practice, and what could the President possibly have to do with a company's decision to outsource?
As far as corporate corruption, the Sarbanes Oxley act has swung the pendulum the other way - placing a big cost burden on all public companies because of a few law breakers.
Again, Bush has nothing to do with either of these items, right?

05/08/2006 | Actually, it's the blame of the free trade agreements signed by Clinton. Of course, Bush is looking to expand them.

05/08/2006 | Between encouraging Corporations to Outsource jobs and allowing illegal immigrants to occupy millions of other jobs,the Bush Administration has dealt another fatal blow to our economy.Of course,it's GREAT for their Corporate puppeteers! It saves them Billions of Dollars while CITIZENS continue to suffer from unemployment and inflation.

05/07/2006 | Clearly the most significant problem of Bush's corporate ideals...and lack of morals...the sure way to one-handedly destroy US's world leader status...it's already happening...

05/05/2006 | I hate it when U.S. companies outsource jobs to foreign countries. It is positively un-American!
