More Bush lies
This is the type of lie that only Bush and his ilk could be proud of. I personally know many very good software developers who are unemployed or severely underemployed. One of them is me.

After 7 months of unemployment, my $140,000 a year job as a software architect (20 years experience, many commercial products) became a $48,000 "Programmer I" job working for the Department of Treasury.

Meanwhile, everyone squawks about Math & Science! I was on my college Math Team. I have a degree in Computer Science. My father taught Science.

We were told to get out of manufacturing, get an education, and move into the information age -- and now there is no work.

Because of my vast experience, education, skill set, and track record I can get a beginning programmer job, but I truly feel sorry for those who sacrificed to get into this field in the last few years. Bush & Co. stole your money. They stole your tuition, and they stole your job and gave it to an foreigner. All for a few extra dollars in their bulging pockets.

I you vote for Bush, or you don't vote at all, you only have yourself to blame in the future.
