Obama's America
 
So, when are we going to start calling this Depression 2?

More Americans are starting to "get it" that all of the money we spent to create jobs went down a rat hole:

I think it is fair to call it that already (Depression II) but let's be very very clear, Ray-gun started this and Bush is the most singularly responsible.
In fact it is the miserable greed filled gOP that has kept Obie from pulling us out of it.

Tax breaks for those working, people need to rise up.

It's Reagans fault :rolleyes:

Didn't watch that 'The Warning' I take it? Hint: Clinton, with Bush not fixing it.

And the GOP didn't let the Dem controlled government fix it? Iirc Obama signed 'Bushes' tax cuts for the rich and the porkulus was supposed to be a save-all.

So how exactly do you two financial experts plan to create jobs. Since private industry has no plans to create jobs the only alternative is for the government to hire the unemployed. Then again we could always re-institute the draft.:rolleyes:

Just have the govt coop business, hire all the unemployed - wa'la! Full employment.

See, I'm an economic genious lol.
