Obama’s administration has already done some terrifically big spending. Not too much debate when seeking approval for it either. In case no one noticed, the economy depends on the prosperity of everyone,, not just bankers.

Here’s another thought,, A democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner. Unless it’s an American democracy. Then it’s two wolves and a sheep with money and the decision shifts to how do you carve up a wolf skin for a hat?

We follow fourteen of the top world economist, not one can calculate how the dollar will can recover, do to inflationary figures from our over spending. Right now each tax payer is over one hundred thousand dollars in debt to Federal Reserve.
We are looking at an infinite reprise over our “Bail Out Program.”
Maybe our President and his advisers forgot to buy the “all solutions calculator” from Wal-Mart.

It is clear that Obama is only working for the banks. Just watch the free video called obamadeception that clearly outlines his real agenda.The US is being systematically looted. These people know exactly what they are doing. The economy will not recover and the dollar will continue to sink. The dollar is controlled by the privately owned federalreservebank which has complete autonomy over economic policy and is owned by international bankers.

Second guessing is less than ethical profession. If the President succeeds, the Country benifits, If the President does not succeed, we will get a new President. That is as simple as it gets, and nothing he has proposed so far is even near what President Carter did, and that hurt the citizens of this country for every year since the interest rates went up during his Presidency 21% Prime rate, and Credit cards were allowed to go to 19%, That has persisted until the last few years.

Why does this fellow point out in his reuters bio that he is a Jeopardy! champion? Trivia doesn’t seem relevant to economic policy.

It won’t work.

get out of the way.

Wow, Reuters is getting more right wing by the minute. Talk about a half-baked, and purposely skewed article. I think we should call this Fox light.

It seems we have failed to acknowledge that there have been huge financial crises with in every ten years since more than a century.

That constitutes that we have been stimulating a wrong economical system for many years (economy on the same pile of SAND). Thus, arguing about THE SAME values based up on the same methodology of a failed system (worker productivity, equity, housing market, etc too many based on foreign investments and guaranties) proves to be irrelevant.

Therefore what we need is an entirely new financial and economical constitution and mechanism rather than prolonging the same problems – [build our house upon a ROCK].

To have a Foundation you truly need solid ground to build on. The ground is not only constantly moving but of poor quality to start with. Our Congress has become a major impediment to get any progress in the right direction. When you have somebody like Christopher Dodd who everybody knows is a crook running key committees you have a major issue. But we the American people keep on accepting this as the norm. You want true healthcare reform then our congressman should live with the same healthcare as the rest of us and they’d fix it quickly. You want our congressman to vote with their hearts and minds get the money out of the process (campaign finance reform). You want a true marketplace then stop subsidies to products that are only there for votes from congressman’s constituents (tobacco subsidies-a product we’re trying legislate out but subsidizing at the same time. $200M a year to subsidize wool producers because we can never live without cheap wool!). Section 42 housing is a great one. We subsidize rent to a certain demographic to live in an area in need of urban renewal. The majority of the time it’s artists and it’s so loosely defined that if you print a poem and try sell it to a friend you qualify for 15-40% off your rent.
These are just a few of the many things that we as taxpayers should be saying enough! enough! These are not Republican or Democrat owned problems. They’re ours.
I ask myself quite often what can I do to seize control of what I know is the real problem. I honestly don’t know the answer other than writing to my congressman and demanding better. But there has to be more than that. Some other type of mechanism to demand common sense and get the money influence out.
