As part of their campaign to soothe an anxious middle class, congressional Democrats are preparing legislation that would significantly expand federal aid to the most obvious victims of the global economy: workers whose jobs move offshore or are lost to foreign imports.
Under a Senate bill to be introduced today, computer programmers, call-center staffers and other service-sector workers who make up the vast majority of the nation's workforce would for the first time be eligible for a generous package of income, health and retraining benefits currently reserved for manufacturing workers who lose their jobs to international trade.-Washington Post
It seems the Democrats are offering an oxygen mask to the middle class workers who get kicked in the ass and to the side by globalization. That is until the air tank runs out. Then what? These workers will still have school taxes to pay. While the Democrats can pat themselves on the back for this limited form of life support. Meanwhile they continue to harm the middle class taxpayers by siding with George Bush and allowing rampant illegal immigration to continue in middle class communities. By not protecting our borders and enforcing current immigration laws the costs of illegal immigration will continue to be subsidized by these same middle class taxpayers that the Democrats are pretending to help. There is a train wreck coming and it looks like well intentioned though misguided Democrats are at the controls.
