Democrats Can't Get Firm Grip on Jobs Issue

By Jonathan Weisman

Democratic presidential candidates have made the loss of U.S. jobs to international competition the centerpiece of their campaigns, but even some of the candidates' economic advisers acknowledge that remedies offered -- such as closing tax loopholes on overseas income and offering tax breaks for domestic hiring -- would probably do little to stop the bleeding.

The issue of job losses in old-line manufacturing and moving service jobs overseas catapulted to the political forefront last week, after the Democratic presidential campaigns traversed hard-hit industrial states such as Wisconsin, Michigan and Missouri. The rhetoric was further amplified when President Bush's top economist, N. Gregory Mankiw, said last week that outsourcing was "probably a plus for the economy in the long run."

Yesterday, President Bush appeared to back off projections in his own Economic Report of the President, which predicted that 2.6 million jobs would be created this year.

This is Black History Month, so let me get a little ethnic.

The Republican Party, because it is directed by extremists, is currently categorized by me as an Enemy of Black People in the United States of America. On the other hand, the Democratic Party is currently categorized by me as Not A Friend At All of Black People in the United States of America.

Do not let the fact that the Republican platform sucks so mightily cause you to forget that the Democratic Party has taken us for granted for so long. Someone will be upset at me, but I'm going to resurrect my "all carrot and no stick" concept later today.

I would advise white folks the same way, but I already know y'all will remember. Y'all some politically unforgiving mofos.
