In January 2004 there were 2,428 mass layoffs by employers. The number of workers was 239,454. President Bush tells us that he's creating 2.3 million new high paying jobs. Now if he would only put out a posting on where these jobs are, the exodus could begin. I know they're not in New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, or anywhere in the South. Is he speaking of us all relocating to India-Guam-Taiwan-China-or Russia? Where are they?

It can't be farming. The green pastures and idyllic barnyard scenes of years past, have been replaced by windowless metal sheds, wire cages, gestation crates, and other confinement systems--known as factory farming. Animals are now fed drugs to fatten them faster and are genetically altered to grow faster or to produce more milk or eggs than they would naturally. These farms produce billions of pounds of manure a day, which ends up in lakes, rivers and drinking water. Little wonder that we are warned to not eat the fish, and that people have built up an immunity to antibiotics in their bodies; seeing that they get their fill in the foods they eat and drink.

"If there was a law, they was workin' with maybe we could take it, but it ain't the law. They're workin' away our spirits, tryin' to make us cringe and crawl, takin' away our decency." Tom Joad-Grapes of Wrath.

No, these millions of new jobs ain't gonna be in the mines, mills, foundries, fishing ports, auto plants, computers, nor back on the farm. Millions lost their farms in the 80s after the government urged them to load up on debt in the 70s and then cut off their markets while the bankers cut off the credit. When the tractors rolled in Washington, people in the cities couldn't care less because they didn't see how the turnover of family farms into corporate agriculture affected them. They do now. Too late.

2. What would you do if a burglar came into your home?

Bush and his corporate friends are doing this. America is our home and they are burglarizing it.
