Last night I was in class, I am taking college classes two nights a week working on my second degree. I got there early and struck up a conversation with three people in class. All three had been touch by lay offs this month, a spouse laid off, watch coworkers laid off Monday, or their company had anounceed lay offs to occure Oct. 15th. The powers that be need to start paying attention to this. The election is coming up.

My husband was downsized out of his job and we had no income for 14 months. I'm not about to blame Bush at the ballot as Willie Green would like us to. Bush inherited this problem.

I took a Microsoft SQL Server course from UC Irvine Extension earlier in the year. The instructor was an H1-B from Sarawak. There were two Russian H1-Bs, an Indian L1 and three Chinese programmers who could barely speak English. All were being financed by U.S. government grants.

The powers that be are paying attention to this. They just don't care about it.
