kind of speaks for itself. The majority of jobs lost will be in the midwest. I'm just about to go call voters in Ohio. Will they see what is happening?

Who knows. The reason jobs are going to China [and thats where most of them are going] is because China is emerging as the next best economy. There are wage differences and thats part of it, but the bottom line is this:

The USA's dominate economic position, which allows us the dominate military position is now beginning to shift towards China. Think how many times the word "China" was used in the "foreign policy" debates?

Did Dick Cheney or Bush mention it ONCE?

Kerry said we at the very least have to STOP REWARDING companies who shift capital and jobs to china. This is incredible. Its like giving a tax break to the guy who comes to break your windows. Kerry has the right ideas to stop this. Bush wants it to continue.

And this is the most long term problem of Bush as president. The longer W is in office, the more certain China will be the next #1 world power.

But we can stop it. We gotta move fast. Vote Kerry.
