Maytag is closing it's plant in the US where the workers are paid some $15 an hour, and opening in Mexico where they pay less than $1 an hour.
Every night I watch just to see which companies are heading overseas. The list is Very Long !! They have lost over 3 million jobs over the last 3 years.

Next, are you ready for this, it will be in tomorrow's news. Bushy-Bush has decided to allow all 10 to 12 Million illegal aliens that are currently working or whatever in the US something like an amnesty.
He doesn't call it that, he calls it more like job matching (what kind of language is this ?) so that the employers can hire the workers at low wages, and eventually they will become US citizens. Of course, this will drive down the average wage in the country. Does Bush seem to care ? Nope.
If he sent them all home, then maybe they would have jobs for the Real Americans. What lopsided logic !
So much for border security. Fingerprints at the Canadian border, and a free pass if they can run fast enough at the Mexican border. Even the border guards are confused. Really ?? Why is that ??
The Mexicans that came to the US legally are pissed. Bush has a lot of his own people against this whole idea, but let's just see how that shakes out. He's only doing this to gain more Hispanic votes.
My point is that it seems the US is deliberately trying to wipe out the middle class, and what will be left ? Poverty and wealth. Who's going to pay the taxes ?
What the hell are they thinking (or smoking) down there ? Even Stiglitz, a Nobel Laureate in Economics says NAFTA isn't working properly.
Hello !! This guy is in favour of Free Trade, but it has to be Fair trade as well. At least that makes sense. He also thinks it is unfair to Mexico. That comment threw Lou right off the rails !!
I think the US is going to be in trouble in the next few years,and they just may take us with them, their policies are soooo out to lunch.
And I thought things were bad in Canada.
I can hardly wait to see them implode, as long as we keep our heads down.

If there was ever a time for Canadians to become pushy - now is the time - for time is running out on this nation called Canada.
This is also another move by Bush to increase his chances of being re-elected, as I think he got something like 35% of the Hispanic vote last time.
I don\'t look at it as a positive in any way.

Perhaps you can come up with a better way to put it.

We are in the same boat, but they are hurting Big Time, and it\'s only going to get worse.
