“America hasn’t been stellar in producing private sector jobs this decade.”

Actually for a lot longer than that.

The lesson here is that EVERYTHING comes from just two sources of wealth creation, manufacturing or mining, BOTH of which the Democrats have spent 3 decades trying to destroy in the name of the planet.

If you want an example of how Democrat feel-good legislation can kill jobs, look no further than the American lightbulb industry, with 35,000+ mostly union jobs lost since the bill passed that bans incandescent light bulbs...

100% correct!!

I especially love the wealth creating “Cash for Clunkers” program. Creating wealth by smashing things! Hell lets just smash all cars that are over a year old and not of green nature. We’ll be rich!!

These people are truly nuts! Anyone that follows them is even more nuts.

Speaking of ‘wealth’.
Discuss....
The current situation is due to an emphasis on ‘value capture’. (Or Stealing From Each Other) Wall Street, Government, F.I.R.E. economy taking value from one but not returning value to producer. Eventually, like a ponzi scheme, you run out of other people’s money.
The real method of producing ‘wealth’ is ‘value creation’.
(or making something valuable and trading it for equal value) REAL ‘spreading the wealth’. All sides win! Labor, raw materials, capital equal productivity noone looses.
If you apply these hypothesis to economic principles, could you answer the problems in our current dilema?
Could the ‘Free Market’ function again if the directive was to ‘create value’?
