Well, so do you. After your side has been screaming that there's "too much government" you knock Obama for " Democratic leadership that hasn't a clue about how to create public sector jobs" The private sector HAS been creating jobs, at least it was doing so steadily until the Teabaggers in Congress made it clear that they're willing to crash the economy to win elections: <http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/09/30/1021613/-Nobody-couldve-predicted-that-slashing-budgets-crashes-economies> Unemployment in the private sector is blamed (by conservatives) on 'taxes', although taxes are at their lowest point in decades, 'fear of regulations' although the only regulations passed recently, the Dodd-Frank bill have been largely stymied by Republican obstructionism), "Health Care Costs" (which will actually go up less under the ACA than any Republican proposal...well, any Republican proposal other than "Let Them Die!"), and the ACA is, nearly word-for-word the REPUBLICAN'S health plan as proposed by the Republican in Congress in 1994 and IMPLEMENTED by a Republican Governor in Massachusetts where it has demonstrably lowered health care costs Under Obama the federal employee rolls have steadily dropped, and in the states stae employee rolls are plummeting. You're getting EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT, Francis, and it's just as bad as the dirty fucking hippies have been saying all along. Corporations are making profits at the same rate they were before the recession: <http://1.bp.blogspot.com/---Y_mOI0trg/TmZwM8y1tII/AAAAAAAAAjo/yhPZxdskG6U/s1600/US+corporate+profits+2000-2011.PNG> They're making capital investments: <http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/10/business/10capital.html> They're just not hiring people. You ask actual small businesses about their problems they'll ALL say "Lack of demand." Your side has clowns like Herman Cain with his ridiculous 999 plan, which would dramatically INCREASE taxes on the lower 95% and dramatically DECREASE taxes on the top 5%. (a flat tax system is regressive...it affect those at the lower end of the income scale the most, because the cost of living does NOT scale with income, in fact,it's often worse...thanks to things like 'food deserts' a pound of beans will often cost a millionaire LESS than it does someone at the poverty line. You conservatives dream of the great laissez-faire 19th century, when men were men and women were chattel and a rich man could steal with impunity: <http://www.historyisaweapon.com/defcon1/zinnbaron11.html> -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "StrataList-OT" group.
