Real Wages Still DECLINING - Page 2

Weren't those "standards and protocols" altered, modified or new ones introduced - whatever - to promote better paying jobs? I vaguely remember some buzz about all this about 3 -5 years ago. I could be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time.

Or create a lot of well paying jobs in the government.... and by extension it's suppliers like the defense industry.... to compete with private industry for labor.

They will often claim that moving the standards and protocols will change things, but the markets are much more powerful than government.

Realistically, the billions of dollars being pumped into the war every month, has to have an effect on the economy. Most of that money is staying in the country going to suppliers and contractors.
I agree that it's not nearly as powerful as the markets that see $35 billion spent on pets alone, or $55 billion on booze.

Of course the war tab might have a much different effect when the bill comes due, but that's for you youngsters to worry about. :p

huh uh. i'm gonna make my bucks here in the good ol' US of A and when i'm through i'll pack up and move down to a nice beach town in mexico. i figure by then there will only be 10-20 mexicans that still live in mexico and we can just have a wild ass party til the tequila runs out.

Sure, the Mexicans have moved out, but they were replaced by Central and South Americans.
