GOP'ish candidates

Republican's priority, or at least the Tea Party faction of them, is to create jobs and fix the economy. The first step in doing that is to get rid of Obama. Since Obama is fixated on spending trillions to grow the government and raise our debt to astronomical heights. Obama's policies are destructive to our economy. He is the number one impediment to job creation, and has admitted that his policies have done little to improve the situation.

GRH, what is the result of endlessly raising the debt ceiling?

I am continually amazed at how far into debt the US is going (they aren't the only country either). I am also amazed that the solution seems to be to keep printing more money. Eventually the US dollar will be worth nothing. Unfortunately the money traders of the world have yet to wake up to this fact. I keep reading in newspapers the currency fluctuations are due to money traders fleeing for the safe haven of the US dollar. Gives one food for thought.

That's why i'm holding onto my gold & silver. but the dollar won't be worth nothing, there is no other currency that can replace it. Of course that won't prevent quite the mess if we keep on down this spend into oblivion and then print money causing further dilution of our currency.

We haven't quite gotten to the level that Germany was in when you needed a wheelbarrow full of marks to buy a loaf of bread, and if you waited until the next day, you needed TWO wheelbarrows of marks!

Who is more foolish the fool or the fools that follow him?
Tax cuts will not fix the economy doing away with the dread big brother government will not fix the economy ending unions banning gay marriage hunting down every illeagal alien none of these things will fix the economy
You want to fix the economy it's very simple but neither party wants or even has any solid idea on how to do it
To fix the economy you need a strong midclass, it was a strong middleclass that made the US economy number one
Reagans moring in America declared war on the middleclass and started the policies to elimitnate the middleclass and NAFTA CAFTA and all rhese other BS trade agreements sent most of the middleclass jobs over to India and Chgina, 20 years of outsourcing and we are seeing the true cost ski high unemployment

Outsourcing is a problem, but much less than 20 years ago unemployment has hovered between 4 & 6%.

BO blames it on ATMs lol. But again, we've had ATMs for a while now.

Let's face it folks, this isn't exactly "The Greatest Generation" we live in. Look at the last 20 years. Is there anything to be proud of?

mmmm.... not really. If you put this America up against the America from the 40s-60s, we'd get our asses handed to us.
