Employers Cut Payrolls in August

WASHINGTON -

Employers sliced payrolls by 4,000 jobs in August, the first such decline in four years and a stark sign that a painful credit crunch that has unnerved Wall Street is putting a strain on the national economy.

The latest snapshot of the employment climate, released by the Labor Department on Friday, also showed that the unemployment rate held steady at 4.6 percent, mainly because hundreds of thousands of people left the work force for any number of reasons.

I think joblessness is a result of NAFTA and 9-11. NAFTA results didn't show up over night. It took years to trickle down to affect us. But, as a result of NAFTA, and now CAFTA, there is almost no manufacturing left in America, which was the backbone of America. CAFTA also ties in with the North American Treaty and NWO ideals.

You can't find much of anything made in the USA any longer. People have to take poor paying service jobs or be the owner of a business that uses foreign labor to live here anymore.

Statement of USTR Rob Portman on Signing of U.S.-Central American-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement
08/02/2005

"This is an historic day for the United States and our six partners in CAFTA-DR. This free trade agreement makes stronger the bond between us and our neighbors.
"CAFTA-DR creates an alliance for fair trade and will promote security and stability in our region. This is a win-win agreement that benefits American workers with greater access to important markets, and our trading partners with new economic opportunities.
"I commend President Bush for his bold vision and for his commitment to ensuring passage of this agreement.
"America's support for CAFTA-DR sends a strong signal to the world that the United States is committed to market liberalization. We look forward to continuing to work with Congress and our trading partners around the world to provide global opportunities for free and fair trade through the Doha Development Agenda."

Interesting tidbit. Rome didnt produce goods, its only export was its government. Some scholars believe that its lack of a productive economy, and reliance on imports contributed to its downfall.

That is interesting. I didn't know that about Rome. And, civilizations don't usually last longer than 200 years before they fall. We are about 25 years past that so I guess we can expect to see similarities between us and the old Roman Empire.

200 years? How do you figure that?

Does this not sound like the cycle of the US?

Cycle of Democracy

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury.

"From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising them the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence:

"From bondage to spiritual faith;
from spiritual faith to great courage;
from courage to liberty;
from liberty to abundance;
from abundance to selfishness;
from selfishness to apathy;
from apathy to dependence;
from dependency back again into bondage."

Dr. Alexander Tytler, a Scot professor, wrote a scholarly tome, from which this concept comes, called "The Athenian Republic" which was published shortly before the thirteen American colonies gained independence from Britain. "Google" him to learn more.

In publishing a handout on the "Cycle" in 1994 I noted that the national debt had reached a staggering $4.5 trillion dollars. Today (Oct. 26, '05) it exceeds $8 trillion! Our forebears thought of debt as slavery. They would be shocked at what their descendants have done. - - John Wrisley.
