Good. Maybe these people will go out and provide a product or service of their own instead of feeding off other people's business ventures.

You remember how many jobs were lost with the tech bubble bust of Clinton.....I do....I was in them. The only thing that stopped them was the Bush tax cuts.... That's to complicated for liberals though. W. is much easier for the children.

I think this news is directly related to the overwhelming and increasing preference of companies in this country to use H-1B visa workers to displace qualified American labor. This is absolutely pathetic and needs to be severely curtailed.

I'm for getting 90% of the H-1B visa workers OUT of the US and in the future using usch a program in a much more limited basis. Send them back to their countries. Plenty of qualified workers here can fill these slots and it would certainly help the job numbers.

Over the final 36 months of the Clinton administration, there was one month in which job declines occurred. Over the first 36 months of the Bush administration, there were 26 months in which job declines occurred. We are currently looking at ten consecutive months in which job declines have occurred. In the average month this year, 118,000 jobs have disappeared.
