while "top" economists are debating whether we are in a recession or not working class folks are brutally aware that the US is in a period of Economic Decline

why has so much manufacturing been moved to other countries?

It's cheaper that way

I can’t believe your bringing facts to a “feelings and emotions” fight. You must be the hard hearted conservative I keep hearing about. I think I’m tearing up, could you lend me a kleenex?

You Socialists were talking about how we are in "decline" back in the 1970s and 1980s, to say nothing of the early 1990s recession.

There is a place for schlubs with class envy. Its called the DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Sorry, but I won't trade my prosperity for the days of smokestacks and rowhouses. But at least the "working man" was king!

I keep tripping over them as they put a soup line so close by....

how long have you been a member?

FR since 2001 (under current name). GOP since 1996.

I hear this class envy rhetoric from the Dems all the time here in NJ. I, however, identify with the winners, not the losers. Of course, I live in the Workers Paradise, so maybe I too should become a socialist. ;-)
