article. Robert Reich - As technology and globalization take over the economy, the U.S. has no national strategy for creating more good jobs in America.

Robert Reich

The most important website this weekend and in weeks to come -- on which the hopes and fears of countless Americans are focused (and the President's poll-ratings depend) -- isn't HealthCare.gov. It's Amazon.com. Even if HealthCare.gov works perfectly, only 5 percent of Americans are in the private health-insurance market to begin with. But almost half of the 140 million Americans now shopping for holiday deals are doing so online, up 20 percent from last year.

The irony is most of what's being sold this holiday season is coming from Asia, which leaves retail jobs as the largest and fastest-growing segment of the U.S. workforce. Yet as online shopping takes over, where will Americans find jobs in the future? The biggest reason holiday deal-shopping is especially frenzied is so many Americans are already stretched to the breaking point (65 percent are now living paycheck-to-paycheck, up from 61 percent last year) that they're more desperate than ever for bargains. And the main reason the President's poll-ratings are falling isn't because of HealthCare.gov. It's because the economy remains lousy for most people. It will likely remain that way: As technology and globalization take over the economy, the U.S. has no national strategy for creating more good jobs in America.

"Students from the UBC Social Justice Centre are calling on EVERYONE to stand in solidarity with the land defenders in Elsipogtog. An injunction has been issued by the New Brunswick provincial court which effectively denies Elsipogtog and their supporters their right as Canadian citizens to protest. The RCMP are being used to protect private interests, using force to silence peaceful protests".

Reaganomics doesn't help anyone except the rich. Reagan was one of the worst presidents in our history.

Thnks to Meme GOP for this.

Econ 101 - Part II of III Reagan lowered the top tax rate from 70% to 28% A full 70% of the tax cuts went towards making the rich richer... much richer and tripled the debt. The problem with Reagan's tax cuts is he didn't pull out soon enough, but that wasn't his plan, increasing the debt was. ‪#‎memegop‬

What other explanation is there?

Obama was sworn in. It's truly reproachable. Image by Occupy Democrats.
