The government tells us what kind of light bulbs to use, mandates what fuel to use, tells people they must buy health insurance, liberals want it to take fat kids away from their parents, tells Boeing it must close a plant in SC ... but our govt isn't intrusive?

>>> Nonsense. The real problem is lack of demand. As has been proven repeatedly. And there won't be any demand until people have jobs and feel secure. What causes people to have jobs and feel secure? CEOs believing there is a reason to start building inventories and buying capital goods. It is a fact we will not have that as long as we have this incompetent in the WH; however, eliminating the instability because of rising debt and deficits will have a significant impact and likely get the economy rolling again.
