And here is another thing that happens in these discussions: Workers are treated is hostages. Years of downsizing and shifting jobs off American shores is seen as just ducky. To make up for the loss of manufacturing jobs, there is talk of reclassifying the making of burgers at McDonalds as manufacturing. But then, the moment jobs are seen as a political issue, workers are treated as hostages. The cry is, "Gimmie my money, or the workers take a hit! You don't want these poor workers to lose their jobs, do you? If you don't give me my tax breaks, or leave my taxes where they are, these jobs go to China! You don't want that, do you?" Well, they get the tax breaks, and the jobs STILL go to China. And the basis of bailing out banks, loans to GM and so on were ALL based up talk of "You don't want MORE job losses, do you?"
