Why American workers & Middle Class are losing ground

Via Mike "Every voter needs to know the facts in this speech by Senator Jeff Session (R AL) and accept nothing less than government for the common good from  legislative and congressional incumbents and candidates of both  major political parties. We need to start right now before special interests stack the deck against the common good and any political recourse to defend our economic and political rights"

The indispensable man was back on the Senate floor on Thursday, defending American workers who are struggling to survive in the jobless recovery. Senator Sessions warned clearly about the danger of an immigration bill conference committee, where a tough enforcement House bill would be blended with the disastrous Senate monstrosity, and amnesty would be rammed through. Corporations are laying off thousands of Americans, yet are demanding more foreigners be made available to hire in the place of citizens.

 In another snip from the same speech, Sessions noted the Census finding that middle class incomes have declined for 18 years. That means money isn’t being saved for college and young people are postponing marriage. Four million fewer people are working today than in 2007, even though the population has grown. Of the jobs created this year, 77 percent are part-time. Workforce participation is the lowest since 1975.

 With such a severe systemic job shortage, should the government double legal immigration in the next decade and beyond? Certainly not.

 Here’s a companion press release from Thursday, that contains a lot of the important facts from Sessions’ speech about the economy:
