Much of the current unemployment is caused by the elimination of jobs due to
outsourcing overseas. Jobs "added" so far this year don't even keep up with
the numbers of new people just entering the job market, let alone decent
jobs for those who have been laid off, a fact that the liberal press likes
to overlook.

A serious program to save existing jobs and promote the creation of new jobs
is needed to get out of this economic slump. Time for the POTUS and
congress to face facts and stop throwing money at the problem as a temporary
fix. Get tough with trade agreements and create incentives to manufacture in
the USA . Most people want to work.


traditioal economic solutions in the US have focused on incentivizing
the rich to invest in capacity...supply side economics.

this doesnt work. it'a myth that the american right has drummed into
the cultural life of america's politics so that most people believe
it.

we have a collapse of demand in this country since the middle class is
tapped out. and the right simply can not believe the mddle class
hasnt lived up to its obligations to support the rich.
