Again. Obama won’t solve this any more than Clinton or Bush. We are still being kidded. There will no recovery without a job recovery. Jobs will not recover until the old exported jobs are returned or new non-government jobs are created and neither is happening.

The Clinton ‘the unemployed should learn computers’ has resulted in help centers throughout the world.
The Bush ‘tax cuts to create jobs’ has resulted in jobs being created in other nations..
The Obama ‘green jobs’ will likely be another job illusion.

If Americans are not working, they are not buying. If they are not buying, business is losing money. If business is losing money, they are not hiring. If business is not hiring, there is no recovery.

What we are seeing is the result of the fleece trade deals started by Clinton and magnified by Bush. We export jobs, import product and send dollars to pay for imports. Those spouting ‘we are sending only paper’ see that paper come back to buy our real estate, companies and treasuries. It is lose-lose for America.

Real trade is we buy product from you and you buy product from us. Let’s get started.

May I point out it is not the role of the Government to “protect” jobs.. Even if factories do come back chances are they would mostly automated with robots.. Protectionism is not the answer.. Don’t forget there are good paying jobs in the South....

Very true.

I try to do my part by sending my Federal Reserve Coupons to Russia. In exchange, they give me ammo. Works for me.

“Jobs will not recover until the old exported jobs are returned or new non-government jobs are created and neither is happening.”

There needs to be incentive for that to happen.

Even in good times, federal, state and local taxes, regulations, mandates, frivolous lawsuits, etc. made running a successful business difficult.

Now they’re facing the prospect of higher taxes as well as piling on Cap & Trade and whatever boondoggle health care turns out to be.

We just got our new phone book and the yellow pages are about 1/4” thinner than last year’s.... Obama’s policies are only going to further cripple those that remain.

I call BS on you!

“Again. Obama won’t solve this any more than Clinton or Bush. We are still being kidded. There will no recovery without a job recovery. Jobs will not recover until the old exported jobs are returned or new non-government jobs are created and neither is happening.”

There sure as HELL will not be a “job recovery” with the private sector competing with the government for funds, i.e. the $2 TRILLION and the $1+ TRILLION deficits are and will be running for the next few years.

There sure as HELL will not be a “job recovery” with the Cap and Trade bill up in the air.

There sure as HELL will not be a “job recovery” with the ridiculous Stimulus Bill that was passed in February 2009.

There sure as HELL will not be a “job recovery” with the second INCREASE in minimum wage that is to start this month (I believe).

There sure as HELL will not be a “job recovery” when the executive branch pokes its nose into the private sector willy-nilly firing execs.

There sure as HELL will not be a “job recover” without well placed tax decreases. Crap even Germany and Hungary are proposing tax decreases to promote economic growth. Germany! Unfreaking believable!

I can go on for quite a while, but you get my picture. I am tired of Americans like yourself giving Obama a pass on his ridiculous polices.

Obama is going to preside over the WORST ECONOMY ever because of his stupidity and his ideology. And Americans like you (i.e. editors of the Media) enable him to get away with it.
