   Since the Bush administration's legacy left the country suffering the worst   
   economic crisis since the Great Depression, the number of unemployed has   
   increased by 7.6 million to 15.1, and the official unemployment rate is just   
   under 10%, For so many, just having a job - any crappy, horrible, badly-paid   
   job - is better than no job at all. So few people are paying much attention   
   to what is happening, and has been happening for quite some time, to those   
   who are employed in what should be 'good' jobs; the increasing pressure on   
   workers to work longer and harder, for less and less. Or else.

   OSHA? Seems like I recall a current Supreme Court Justice headed it a long   
   time ago... and helped wreck it. I had a friend who worked there in the   
   80's; she finally quit because it was so awful.  Reagan//Bush hated the   
   American Dream.
