The Bush-led TARP saved the economy from the abyss. The stimulus spent $800 billion primarily to forestall layoffs among unionized government employees, and has done little to help the private sector. Banks are not lending. Profits are up but CEOs are reluctant to ramp up hiring. Skittish investors are holding money in cash and bonds. Consumers are still unwinding debt and increasing savings. And the housing market has stalled thanks to the end of the short-sighted $8,000 tax credit. Unemployment is still hovering near 10%. The Democrats had their shot and they blew it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:326697 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
