[berni_mccoy]

What the hell is Bush thinking?

Apparently, the many HI-TECH workers I know who have been laid off for more than a year aren't good enough for this country... Bush wants to IMPORT THEM!

Real Unemployment is more like 8-10% (see my analysis of the real unemployment figures here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=105343).

I say we fill the Potomac River with H1-B Visas!!!

1. They cut student loan funds and then bitch that we don't have

Enought skilled labor so we need to import it from overseas.

It's time to call bullshit, this is to supress wages. If we don't get control over this the middle class is going to be eliminated.

2. I've been begging for a Diebold tea party

All the voting machines in the harbor!

3. OOh yes I can just see those Diebold machines floating in the harbor

do they float?

4. Here what I just sent my rep

Citing a non-existent "shortage" of tech workers, the president just asked Congress to raise the cap on H-1B visas.

Given that almost anyone you talk to either is or knows someone out of work and companies are laying off huge numbers of workers, I certainly hope you will speak out against this obvious attempt by Bush to pander to corporations and drive down wages and benefits.
