Doing nothing does not create jobs It is not congress's job to create jobs. Doing nothing allows the economy to stabilize so that businesses can back to doing business. I understand that, as a lawyer, you are automatically programmed to think that lawmakers are the solution for everything. But it just ain't so. Businesses are supposed to create jobs Congress is supposed to make laws Congress should get back to doing their real job and quite getting in the way of the people who want to create jobs.

How many jobs would a draft create. It might give most of the OWS mob paying jobs with room and board healthcare and a good pension plan. They already like sleeping under the stars in tents.

The country needs another yacht tax. Remember how much revenue that tax raised or how many jobs that congressional tax bill created?
