So this makes me wonder if I'm missing something in the popular, mediated rhetoric and hurrah about creating jobs, and restoring Murkin manufacturing, and international competitiveness, an' all shit like that.
Here's the elephant turd in the soup tureen:
Where is the money gonna come from to RESTORE the infrasructure that O'Bama relies upon to boost employment at home, but which the CorpoRats have spent the past 30 years up-rooting, off-shoring, destroying, dismantling, and selling off?
What makes anyone think the CorpoRats are gonna spend money to undo what they already MADE money destroying? They've sold off all the parts they could, long since. The bloody CorpoRats aren't gonna pony up. The USofA is a declining empire. It's expansive days are over. This market is topped out. The people are less important as consumers than hitherto.

In fact, the CorpoRats have EVERY incentive to undermine, rebuke, and/or ignore it.
No CorpoRat encourages democracy. Democracy, especially in the work-place, is almost literally anathema to the CorpoRat mind, which is autocratic and authoritarian. They exhibit these proclivities every and in every way that they work to diminish or prevent the unions from exercising their power as the democratic representatives of the workers. CorpoRations are FEUDAL freeholds, and the Owners wish ONLY to preserve their OWN power over their vassals. Unions in the work-place, and democracy in the civic culture, are active opponents of those Medieval pretensions, and as such are subject to attack, destruction if possible.
The minions and lackeys of the CorpoRat State are even now busily engaged, where they have "won" the power to do so, in reversing 150 years of workers' gains. Some are resisting. I wish them success. But I don't trust USer cops NOT to shoot demonstrators, and I was witness to and involved in an incident at which the National Guard advanced on a student demonstrators with bared, fixed bayonets (UNM, May, 1970), so I think skepticism is well-founded.
So then ask yourself, and your friends, but demand an answer from your "Leaders": When you've sold out your citizenship for the convenience of being a consumer, and they close the fucking stores, what have you got left? We, Americans, apparently are about to find out.

They only like democracy when it's abroad.
And provides a fake reason to go to war.

I don't know why this is going to Tar Sands Group right now but I guess I'll just leave it.
