I do not have the answer,
but it appears our elected leaders do not either.


They don't, economists don't, nobody knows. What is being done,
in the words of Andrea Mitchell, is throwing anything and
everything against the wall and see if anything sticks.

The scary part is I think the recession will get much worse
before turning around. And not one of the elected are asking
Obama and his team what is the basis for his plan.


Some of Obama's comments lately are not exactly reassuring to the
public. He's trying to put pressure on Congress to make sure they
will approve his massive stimulus spending, but he's doing it by
scaring the bejeezes out of people. He recently made a statement
to the affect that if his plan is not approved, it may be too late
to save the US. Not sure what he means by that, but they sure
aren't the words of a true Leader.

Obama is correct.

Obama is wrong. We don't need more government intervention in business.


Prove it.

The GAO. If you want spur economic growth you need to cut taxes and
encourage business to hire and spend without the threat of increased
taxes. The people need to know that they will be able to spend their
own money the way they want to spend it rather than having it
confiscated and given, "redistributed", to those who won't get off
their lazy asses and work for themselves.

Obama with his misguided idea that he is going to "save" jobs and
create jobs by government spending is comical. FDR tried it before and
it failed miserable. Private industry creates jobs and the most jobs
are created by small businesses. Reducing regulation and taxes will
ensure the greatest growth of jobs. And the repeal of that ridiculous
Sarbanes Oxley legislation is the first thing that needs to happen.

Right now everyone has their hand out waiting for big daddy government
to give them something. Doesn't anyone have any self respect and pride
anymore.


Yeah, I know the pablum. No proof? And you want more deregulation?

Today's small business has to spend too much time and money meeting
government regulations at the local, state and federal level that doen't
have time to actually run their business.
