Yes. Big business profitability went through the roof with all the cheap foreign labor. The computer boom created a lot of jobs that masked our loss of manufacturing (until all the big companies got computerized) But, after they all got 'wired' things slowed down... we saw what NAFTA was really about. Corporate Greed.

About all the politicians are lawyers and self serving crooks who have sold their souls to big business for election money. Bush/Cheney are among the worst. John McCain didn't have hardly anyone in his pockets, and would have been my first choice.... He also didn't have the money to get elected like GW did.

Flipping burgers, or some other service oriented job. Most of the
good jobs are getting harder and harder to find. An economy built on a 'service' base is only so strong. We sell 'entertainment'. When the going gets tough, people quit spending their money on service and entertainment.
