Republican mantra: "Take those jobs and shove 'em"

Thank God. In contrast to Germany, we listened to the libertarians and didn’t go all liberal with subsidies for the solar industry. Who needs 40,000 new jobs, or industry leadership in one that was once dominated by the U.S.? Really, good riddance to all those dirty-fingernail manufacturing jobs, where – gasp – unions might organize the workers. (By way of Dean Baker, TAP)
