As soon as the powers that be start talking about "saving jobs" above anything else they've lost me, regardless of the party flag they fly or where on the political map they stake their claim.
They are supposed to serve the people. Jobs are not people. Jobs are but a means for people to earn income. "Putting people to work" ultimately benefits the employer, not the people. Somehow this false Job==Person equivalency came to infest politics and we are seeing the result now.
