Well it looks like the GOP's New World Oder, what I think has been the plan of the GOP for years, and Bush's "financial" bailout to his buddies in banking and the financial institutions, is finally coming to be:
http://money.cnn.com/2010/06/01/news/economy/contract_jobs/index.htmNEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Jobs may be coming back, but they aren't the same ones workers were used to.
Many of the jobs employers are adding are temporary or contract positions, rather than traditional full-time jobs with benefits. With unemployment remaining near 10%, employers have their pick of workers willing to accept less secure positions, boosting an existing trend toward a contract workforce.
In 2005 the government estimated that 31% of U.S. workers were already so-called contingent workers. Experts say that number could increase to 40% or more in the next 10 years, due to demographic trends, changes in health insurance law and corporate cost-cutting.
James Stoeckmann, senior practice leader at WorldatWork, a professional association of human resource executives, believes that full-time employees could become the minority of the nation's workforce within 20 to 30 years, leaving employees without traditional benefits such as health coverage, paid vacations and retirement plans, that most workers take for granted today.

Yes folks, this is what the GOP has wanted since Reagan, to do away with companies having to give out benefits, to lower wages, and to make sure that we end up in a "two" class system with no such thing as a "middle class", just those with the big money, and the rest of us. Reagan's so called 'immigration" plan had no teeth in it. It allowed employers to be able to hire illegals with no enforcement of the laws against them hiring the illegals. Wages have dropped over they years, business's have outsourced jobs to third world countries and americans are unemployed. NAFTA insured a steady flow of workers who would work less money because they could not find work in their own country. Now even if we do get some real kind of immigration reform, and start making sure workers are here legally, the wages have dropped, benefits will be gone, and there will be hundreds of workers, maybe more, trying to get any job that does come open, and there will no longer be job security, benefits, or decent wages that you can save money to send your children to college. Health care will be a thing only the rich can afford, and the republicans will be happy!
If the republicans can take control of congress again, and if they can take back the WH in 2012, we will be living in the New World Order!
