If banks loaned out their $2 trillion cash hoard, if worker training programs were stepped up and if 3 million job openings were filled, the economic recovery would be far stronger, a panel assembled by former President Bill Clinton said on Wednesday.

Clinton opened the meeting of his six-year-old Clinton Global Initiative with a discussion entitled "Jobs, Jobs, Jobs," that the organization for the first time is focused squarely on the United States.

Loan money, train people, then watch them collect unemployment again. It isn’t the loans that is stopping hiring, it is the lack of demand, coupled with no return on investment and uncertainty.

” 3 million job openings were filled, “

Ummmmmmm - I think I’m gonna want to see some documentation, including breakdowns of locations and type/pay of all of these ‘jobs’.....

(I also remember that, back in the Clinton Years, the running joke was “Bill Clinton created a million jobs, and I oughtta know - I need three of ‘em to make ends meet..”

.......and if Helen Thomas had a face lift all would be right with the world.

Banks just had to be bailed out by the goberment where’d they get the $2 Trill.

Good answer and highly probable....but there is still this nagging question, “why has Hitlery stuck around the Hill this long, riding on Slick Willys’ coat tails?” She still might go for it.

No jobs, no demand, no recovery.
No recovery, no demand, no jobs.

Expect government to end the cycle.
Expect business to end the cycle.
Expect ‘in the long run’ to end the cycle.

The long run ends on election day.

Clinton Economy Recipe
1. Put wife in charge of leftist health care plan
2. Watch helplessly as conservative tidal wave takes over Dc
3. Fire Begala/Carville and hire Dick Morris
4. Sign every piece of conservative legislation passed under the Contract with America and take credit fo it.
5. Watch with bemusement as short term memory establishment Republicans nominate Bob Dole as my opponent.
6. Take all the credit as restrained spending dictated by conservative legislators leads to government surplus
7. Find an intern to celebrate.

That is fact. The banks cannot loan the money to union types who have no pride in three words- “Made in America.”

I have a few things that still work. They do not say Made in China, Indo- or any other country except Germany and/or Swiss made. My made in USA are from the 50’s or so.

BO should do what KKKlinton did to stimulate the economy. Be President during a phony Dot.com bubble that generated hundreds of billions of dollars from capital gain taxes based on speculation and no earnings.

“why has Hitlery stuck around the Hill this long, riding on Slick Willys’ coat tails?”

There is plenty of time left for her to let little bammy continue his big adventure journey through jackass land.

She merely continues to let him drown in his idiotic Marxist agenda. Towards the end of the appropriate deadline to join the race she announces a "moderate, common sense" democrat platform.

The donks will wet themselves that she is back and they don't have to pretend to support little bammy and the tricycle brigade. Praise to Hitlery will be shouted from the rooftops. MSM will Bat-turn on little bammy.

But there is trouble in Paradise...

Blacks will not give up supporting bammy. They would be "sold-out" and the race pimps will be back in the chips for the duration of the election.

MSM will be in direct contradiction of three years lies, deceit, cover-ups, biased reporting, etc. Not that they will loose any sleep over all that but it will deliver truckloads of documented ammo not against just bammy but against the entire Liberal-MSM-Environmental complex. Delivery to a conservative candidate that has taken unending flack attacks for those very same three years.

Care to guess which conservative candidate can fire that ammo on-target?

The decade of the 90's were filled with ponzi schemes and bullsh t bubbles, most propagated by FOB(friends of Bill).

Obama and Clinton ought to have an arrogant ass duel. Both are great anal orators.

What jobs do you train people for when there is no one hiring?

We could train a thousand people to build cars, but if cars arent selling who will hire them?

Bill is having one of his pipe dreams. Smoking the dope again I suspect.
