The reason our economy is in the tank is because of debt spending. We put a two-front land war in Asia on a credit card. The only part of the plan that didn't work for BushCo was that the chickens came home to roost BEFORE the GOP stuffed what they cash could into some suitcases and fly home to their mansions. I think that was their plan. Empty the treasury directing all the dough into their own private companies, fly the coop, then blame the whole disaster on the next guy in office....which the GOP is STILL attempting to do.

Our economy will never fully recover until we end outsourcing & offshoring and shut down companies that hire illegals and stop war profiteers from dictating our entire foreign policy.

The deregulation the banks gained under Gingrich's Contract With America and the hemorrhage of domestic living wage jobs (union) caused by the GOP's Free Trade Agreements, later combined with BushCo's massive debt spending was far more than ANY economy could ever handle.

Unions are not our enemy. Unless you are a billionaire industrialist.
And no one on this board is. As long as working stiffs keep swallowing the line of Ayn Rand horseschit, they'll continue to allow the wealthy elite to turn our republic into an oligarchy that makes tsarist Russia look like a fair deal.
