I caught KMBZ's evening propagandist last night reading from the Conservative Papers how our woes are caused by big government and all we have to do is give the money to business, and trust them not to put it in speculation but hire people.
Never a mention how this economy wont be back for a generation for the REAL reason... that unregulated govt allowed, even encouraged US business to ship jobs overseas. Luckily our own brands are coming back cheaper--if no longer made here-- because US workers left don't get paid as much. So they couldn't afford US made goods anyway.
US Corporations forget US workers are also their customers. And unemployed US citizens aren't. And for every dollar spent for bloated health care is a dollar not spent on a car or a better house. Can we all work in health care?

Foreign workers don't have our tax burden, true dat. But they also live six in a tenement, ride bikes and trains to work so don't need highways and traffic lights, don't have TV's in every room because their government won't let them watch much anyway. And they work 12 hrs a day starting at age 11.
They work way cheaper than our folks, even if our people didn't have the tax burden for funding wars and roads. They are bleeding us so badly, they are building THEIR country with our money while we stagnate.
The Clinton times wont be back, all right because the bloodletting had already started. But not because of dems. Dems are just trying to keep the pumps running so the whole damned ship doesn't flood and sink. Fixing health care's a start, but I'm afraid we're going to have to quit waging wars and start doing some ECONOMIC protectionism against China, wage the drug war with drone bombers and defoliants overseas and legalization here. That too will increase jobs because drug money wont go overseas, it'll stay here to buy cars and clothes, not make drug lords rich enough to finance private armies in their countries.
Our Congress could do lots of t hings if they weren't being bribed by US business interests buying their protection. Big business is spending OUR money to bribe OUR government to move the country's riches up from the middle class to the wealth class. Unlike what the republicans claim, the wealthy class doesn't spend...they horde their assets in the bloated stock markets.
