are low wage jobs the answer?

If you don't have a job and have been out of work for a while any job is welcomed. On the other hand manufacturing an economic crisis to condition workers for lower wages sounds a little cronyism. Is that really the answer? It seems like a no brainer but that's what the GOP candidates are sparring about nowadays. Perry touts that he has created over 2 million jobs in Texas under his watch. Conversely, Ron Paul shot back at Perry during the GOP debate to say that over 700,000 of those jobs were state and local government jobs. It was super funny (ROFL) when Ron Paul stated that he didn't want to offend the Governor for fear Perry might raise his taxes - again. Moreover, on more than one occasion it has been noted that a large number of the jobs created under Perry's watch have been low wage jobs. Basically low wage service level jobs at Carl's Jr. and so on.

So is this where we're going? Use the national deficit as an excuse to push more and more Americans into poverty. This is what seems to be the case. On one end, there's the push to end unemployment insurance. On the other end, the private sector has created little to no jobs, with the exception of the great job Perry is doing in Texas stimulating job grown via Carl's Jr. Woo-hoo, let's give the Governor a big cuban cigar for that one. Go Perry Go! Are low wage jobs the answer? Looks like Perry thinks so...maybe Carl's Jr has a few more job openings. Go get yours before Perry gives that job away to a long term unemployed person begging to get back to work.
