Sick man walking

The hollowing of America's manufacturing capacity and other super horribleness

Is America the sick man of the globe?

a trillion here, a trillion there...

and pretty soon you're talking serious money.

Senate passes Obama's $858 billion tax-cut plan

oy. this does not bode well.

if you peel the Band-Aid too slowly...

it only hurts MORE.

DC follies

When Main Street needed stimulus, they gave the money to Wall Street.

When we needed financial reform (smackdown punishment), they (sloowwwwwwly) brought us Health Care "reform".

We need a Jobs Bill / SBA loan guarantees, but they give us Finance Industry "reform".

Soooooo... when something to stimulate business and jobs finally rolls around, how deep into the new Great Depression quagmire will we be?

Hope, Change = Bad timing, Making it worse.

no statistics, no measurable plan...

...just the present phase of the same permanent war

"There are no quick fixes to achieve U.S. national security interests in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The danger of failure is real and the implications are grave."
