I disagree on that Chris. There are many things the President and Congress could do to help the job situation: * extend unemployment benefits - and increase them * target help to the hardest hit areas * provide tax credits to business for hiring displaced American workers. * additional help with training, and relocation costs * in some cases, funding for new business that would hire displaced workers Many things could be done. We are not going to be able to wall ourselves off from the global economy, but the government i.e. US - can help. How much could have been done along these lines for the $ 150 billion or so being spent in Iraq in 2003-2005? >> And there's not a thing the president or congress can do about it.
