Iraq is sucking just about all the oxygen
By VictorM: I often surf news sites and blogs looking for topics to address on this page. While the issues are out there, Iraq is sucking just about all the oxygen from all the events dominating the news. Washington is virtually quiet on education, economy, health care, environment, energy, crime, minimum wage, social security, prescription drugs, and many other issues that we need addressing. We’re at a stand still on those issues while the wage gap increases, the trade deficit widens, the middle-class gets squeezed, and our children's well-being lingers in the low-end of all the nations in the industrialized world. So tell me, between the people who want to leave Iraq and those who want to stay, which ones have the best interest of the country at heart? Let’s get the hell out of that place!
Labels: children, Iraq war, middle-class squeeze, minimum wage, trade deficit, wage gap

Well, you're right about getting out if Iraq.
But just so you know, "wage gaps" are the market's way of moving people from on occupation to another. Rather than using the socialism method of saying "change jobs, or we'll kill you", market economies get people to change professions, or to difficult and dangerous things, by paying them well. Normally, this results in more people choosing to do those things, at which point the prices drop as supplies rise. This goes on constantly, and is the reason that people generally find out what members of a profession are making before they go into that profession.
