Should read:

Spot-on commentary Woody…! : (

Most folks recognize this as a typo, but for me it’s almost a ‘seppuku moment’ … : ( /

They are also urging the Obama administration to advance free trade agreements with Panama, Colombia and South Korea.

They don’t mean free trade, they mean labor arbitrage. It will only accelerate the fall of the US Middle Class.

I think it’s also important to point out that in the face of the lowest taxes since World War II, the rich have pocketed and off-shored money instead of creating jobs. SURPRISE! Voodoo/trickle-down economics don’t work in the new millennium just like they didn’t work in the 80′s and 90′s.

The real problems are stagnant wages, deflating home values, and reduced purchasing power via dollar devaluation. NOT ONE POLITICIAN WILL ADDRESS THESE ISSUES OTHER THAN TO PAY THEM LIP SERVICE!
