Washington -- U.S. Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle stood alone among the 29-member New York congressional delegation last week when she voted against extending a program that retrains workers who lose their jobs because of international competition.
The House passed the Trade Adjustment Assistance Extension Act with bipartisan support, 307-122.
She's all "jobs, jobs, jobs" except when she's all "no, no, no jobs."
Blueskygirl can remember no time when Ms. Buerkle has waded into an unemployment line, social services waiting room, church pantry or Head Start program to talk with real people about how her Republican created, controlled and (so far) successfully stalled "economic recovery" plan is working out for the other 99%.
Buerkle is, of course, in the 1% and feeling no pain.
Blueskygirl looks forward to the time when Ms. Buerkle is, herself, unemployed. We need the rest.
