Used to, 50 miles away.
Bethlehem Steel in Bethlehem and Harrisburg. Gone.
We did have Alcoa but they sold out to some Swedish overseas company. No jobs there, either. All taken.
Hey! We have KFC, Burger King, McD's, Wendy's, Arby's, Cracker Barrel. Even they aren't hiring. Last time I looked, there were 5 jobs in the paper for OTR drivers.
He's from about 35 miles from here; been listening to him on radio for years.

Addendum to above
What I failed to mention and is an important part of the whole scenario is that in Holland, it is a personal choice. Doctors can euthanize newborns without even asking the parents. Caretakers of elderly or disabled can have a physician euthanize if they all feel that person is suffering or does not have a good quality of life. They have made it a personal decision and asked that the government stay out of it. They have already fallen off that slippery slope. I do not want to see my country fall down the same moral abyss.
Addendum
Obama visited troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. The visit to the military hospital in Germany was cancelled after the Pentagon raised concerns over political activity on that base. He also has visited troops many times at Walter Reed when stateside. McCain did not hesitate to use the soldiers for political gain, which is exactly what Obama was trying to avoid.
Ultimately, it seems removing the troops from Iraq ASAP shows much more concern for them and their families than sending them there in the first place, especially considering Bush’s lies and the hidden agendas. Some documented body count figures might help show just how concerned Bush has been over these past 5 years. Since these are only the documented cases, the actual numbers are much higher.
US 4134 killed 30,324 wounded
US coalition allies 314 NA
Iraqi military 8514 NA
Iraqi civilian count 86,457 to 94,330, depending on who you ask.
A whopping total of between 99,419 to 107,292 fatalities. Bush and Cheney and only Bush and Cheney bear this responsibility. Hard to say whether those tears Bush shed were for the families or the cameras.
Clinton went into Somalia and Kosovo as part of a UN coalition for peacekeeping purposes in countries where genocide was well documented. No lies here either. No need to conjure up a war. In this case, Clinton was a joiner, not an instigator. Demonization has nothing to do with party affiliation. It has to do with the individual’s character, or lack thereof.

addendum to just a thought
when I posted 'i don't trust him', he is scary, etc - I was responding to what I have been reading here and elsewhere when people talk about Obama and the underying insinuations speak volumes IMO.
Addendum for sake of clarity.
For the sake of clarity, the hearings on the The Imperial Presidency of GW Bush and Possible Legal Response are being conducted in the House Judiciary Committee, not the House of Representatives since, like the energy bill, Pelosi's position is one of "impeachment is off the table." Just how long she can keep it off the table is anybody's guess. John Conyers is skeptical by nature and, in the past, has been lukewarm and uncommitted one way or the other on impeachment. Evidently he has changed his mind when confronted with evidence he could no longer ignore. This was discussed by him during his interview on Democracy Now! in one of those programs back in June. Though he was not willing to comment on "an ongoing investigation," he did make it quite clear that he will exhaust all avenues in "getting to the bottom" of the issues that are being raised in this HDC process and take appropriate action.

In the comedy arena, they should have let McC carry his own distinction which we witnessed at the charity roast. Red camp overplays their hand once again. Big surprise.
Addendum: Forgot the part about working 2 jobs
