TURN THE LIGHTS OFF - "That Giant Sucking Sound" Is Becoming A Roar

Writer Tony Russell says the big winner in the global economy must be China, looking under his Christmas tree.

Take time to read Russell under OPINION AND COMMENT "Of Principalities And Powers."

Thousands of West Virginia's nuts and bolts jobs have left, and more are going. Last one out "We'll leave the light on for ye." It's true all across America - the global "free trade" market machine is rolling, rolling, rolling.

If Gov. Bob Wise is upset about imposing his 10% cutback - you ain't seen nothing yet! If you're a government employee, you might want to lose a little sleep.

While state governments are going "bankrupt" because they are not generating enough taxes to operate, jobs continue to flow abroad by the hundreds of thousands. Connection? The media spin is, well .... you don't hear much about it.

The government is now announcing things are looking up with employment, the numbers are better. It is rarely explained when an unemployed person drops off unemployment roles, they are no longer counted. So .... employment is up!

God help us. McDonald's is in trouble and telemarketing may be regulated.

But don't forget, you have been told this is good for America!
