This is a list of some of the most important topics in our country, right now.

Thanks Thom , once again for seeking the truth and reporting it without spin.

What the Republican party has done over the years to ordinary citizens and their ability to thrive in the economy is truly evil.

It is as self serving and hateful as man has ever seen.

This is not how we should have to live. Yet they are manipulating and trashing our free elections so deviously , its beyond frightening .

Democrats need to get out in numbers never seen before to offset this evil.

Back in 2006-9, I worked for a tier two auto manufacturer. We made parts for many major auto manufacturers. We couldn't get work at that Canadian Toyota plant with our US companies; only our Canadian Tool and Die company had the skilled workers necessary to meet Toyota's precision parts demands. Healthcare costs may have been a consideration for Toyota to stay out of the US but there was more to it. Toyota used to be very precise. The US didn't have the talent to make their parts because....US Union shop corrosion. We Union busted or built where Unions were weak, hired unskilled labor at 1/3 the Union hourly rate and 'trained' them to run sophisticated CNC and other parts manufacturing machines. The Regan Union busting destroyed a lot of our skilled labor pool.
