John McCain doesn't have answers to the economic crisis, so instead of offering solutions he plans to focus on deceiving voters and smearing Barack's record and his character.
The American economy had its 9th straight month of job loss in 2008. Can we afford 4 more years of failed Bush economic policies?
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- A government report on January jobs showing that employers trimmed payrolls for the first time in four years set off alarm bells.Yet one more hat tip to Al B.
But the report, which was released Friday, tells only part of the story about the underlying weakness in the labor market.
The number of Americans out of work for at least six months is rising - reaching levels more typically seen deep into a recession or period of job contraction, not at the beginning.

"Our goal is clearly NOT TO FIND a qualified and interested U.S. worker."
"It's on video, believe it or not, and even presented as a selling point to peddle their services by Cohen & Grigsby Law Firm. That's right, this group of attorneys put an entire seminar on how to screw over the American worker on YouTube. Imagine that, a seminar from lawyers on how to make sure one doesn't have to hire an American worker!"
In the video attorneys explain how they assist employers in running classified ads with the goal of NOT finding any qualified applicants, and how they disqualify even the most qualified Americans in order to secure green cards for H-1b workers.'Our goal is clearly NOT to find a qualified U.S. worker ... our objective is to get this person a green card ... so certainly we are not going to try to find a place where applicants would be most numerous.' -- Lawrence M. Lebowitz, Vice President of Marketing, Cohen & GrigsbyAnd on getting rid of extremely qualified applicants:'If someone looks like they are very qualified, if necessary schedule an interview, go through the whole process to find a legal basis to disqualify them.'From Dr. Norm Matloff:The law on employer-sponsored green cards is similarly riddled with loopholes. Though that law requires that American workers must be sought before the employer hires a foreign worker for a job, it is routinely circumvented. I've mentioned the outrageous comments by a well-known immigration attorney:Here are just a few examples of fake job ads this seminar is referring to, run in the Sacramento Bee. The Bee's editor refuses to discuss the matter, and the fraudulent ads continue to run each week.'Employers who favor aliens have an arsenal of legal means to reject all U.S. workers who apply.'--Joel Stewart, Legal Rejection of U.S. Workers Immigration Daily, April 24, 2000.
This video was amplified by the Programmers Guild and the original video clips are here.
This is what Bush and Congress via the current "comprehensive" immigration reform bill really mean by a 'shortage of skilled U.S. workers.'
Microsoft, Oracle, Hewlett-Packard, and thousands of other companies are running fake ads in Sunday newspapers across the country each week.
Look at this folks, this is how bad it is. A major selling point of law firms is all about how to screw over the American worker.
UPDATE: 06.18.07 4pm EST. It appears Cohen & Grigsby Law Firm has taken down their seminar videos. What a surprise but you can see at one time the originals were there. We cannot put back up the originals for it's unclear if that would be a violation of copyright law, but let me assure you, they exist.
