>> ..the momentum of their reckless policies during the bush years Which policies are those (and please, not Medicare Part D again -- since I have shown here that the program was more responsible under Bush than it is under Obama). What else you got? What about the "reckless policies" of Bill Clinton and worse, Barack Obama? Those don't bother you, do they?

Yeah, I think Obama came to power just as globalization began to really bite. The jobs aren't coming back in my lifetime, and when they do, our wages will be on par with the Chinese and Indians. A lot of us know this, when are the pols going to realize it and get REAL. We need a new WPA to carry us during the interim.

We’re approaching an economic consensus among those who know what they’re talking about. If President Obama pushes an ambitious jobs agenda, he’ll be siding with economists, the financial industry, business leaders, and even the Fed, not just those rascally “liberals.” Republicans won’t like it, and apparently the establishment media won’t either, but that’s the reality of the situation. He is in a very tough spot...either way he goes he'll have plenty of critics...the republicans have managed to leave him with an incredibly difficult problem...the momentum of their reckless policies during the bush years means spiraling debt and economic contraction all in one neatly packaged deep economic contraction...add to that the awakening of asian super cheap labor pool and the irresistible attraction that presents to american businesses and you have a nearly unmanageable situation...i don't care who's in office. That's where Americans have to get smart and know whom the enemy is in this country. The ones who are wrapped in the flag and preach the bible. The untrue Americans; the true terrorists among us. Americans have to set right what they did wrong back in 2000. We all have lessons to learn in this life......even countries.
