she's even worse than me

My friend Michelle Chen reports on the state of labor under the Bush Administration. Choicest snippet:
One area where the president can brag about boosting employment is in another hemisphere, in developing nations like China, where millions work for virtually nothing, and companies are free of all those pesky labor regulations inflating the cost of labor in the US. It’s easy to see why 2.9 million US jobs have disappeared since Bush took office. As if corporations needed more incentive to outsource jobs, Bush’s proposed 2005 budget dishes out added tax bonuses for multinationals that move jobs overseas. In Bushland, this is known as "taking the side of working families."
