Casey has known this for four years now, yet he continues to hold Obama's water. Incidentally, his constituents also believed his pledge to uphold his father's legacy against abortion providers, yet he voted for federal funding of the same. Casey is a fool, and a dishonest one at that.
The problem -- jobs
The solution -- The debt crisis. Shrink government, lower taxes, cut regulation. Watch the economy grow and revenue increase.
How Washington sees it:
The problem -- the debt crisis
The solution -- showboat and grandstand and position yourself to be re-elected to your job. Screw the little people and their silly jobs.
Excellent description
It’s because neither Obama or any of his flunkies have EVER HELD A REAL JOB!!! That’s why they’re clueless. They have no f**king idea what a job is!
Ms. Zito, you don’t get it, do yo? Ozero’s goal is to create the largest welfare state in the history of the world; to destroy capitalism and replace it with communism; to turn America into a third-world dictatorship; to destroy personal freedom and replace it with government control. Now do you get Ms. Zito?
You are spot on...........
Still, Americans have the jitters when it comes to buying; they have no confidence in the "American Dream" right now, and no confidence means no buying.

How do those two paragraphs support each other. If orders are "expected" to grow, I guess that means next quarter we'll read about how orders "unexpectedly" dropped off.
If I may politely disagree.
I have plenty of confidence in the can-do spirit of most Americans. The upside of this dream is prosperity & peace, but it also contained a dollop of criticism for crooks, sloths, drunks, wantons, bribers and bribe-takers.
Sounds old-fashioned, but it worked, and can work again.
We've let a bunch of slick salesmen talk us out of what we know is right - salesmen who take our money, but fail to deliver the goods. Now, there are so many obstacles put in the way by leftists going back to the 1930's. They've been adding to these roadblocks over time, sandbag by sandbag.
Before we can begin rebuilding our economy, we must first work to open up the roads and let commerce flow freely, and unfetter the people from the chains of dependency, victimhood, sue-happiness, and red tape.
And what will happen when the Debt ceiling is raised?? The Democrats will head right back out to fund more “shovel ready” jobs with yet another “stimulus”. As long as they hold both the White House and the US Senate there isn’t much a Republican majority in the House can do about it.
People, we need to stay focused on the “big picture”...and that is continuing the job we all began in 2010: Recycling Congress. We need to be out supporting good, solid Conservative candidates, not just anyone who claims to be a member of some mythical “Tea Party”. We need to take a hard look at existing track records, and avoid sending people to Congress who will only be a problem down the road once their real personal behavior finally comes to light.
The US Senate is open for the taking this election cycle, with more seats open to challenge than I have seen in a long, long time. Between the already announced retirements and the number of incumbents who have a very tough battle to face because they have ridden Obammy’s coattails, there is more opportunity to turn the Senate strongly Conservative than I’ve seen in recent memory. That is where the long-term solution to all of this lies, so stay focused and get behind your local candidates.
We are living in the middle of a black comedy (no pun intended).
Most of the media, pundits, talking heads and half the population are walking around, bumping into each other while looking as if they are in deep thought. Each asking the other, "Why Obama doesn't Obama do this or do that? Why can't he see he is hurting the country, the economy, the people, businesses?"
They are still in open denial, pretending that Obama is a serious man, trying to do his best. But in their hearts they know he is either totally incompetent or a socialist tyrrant intentionally destroying the USA. Or both.
They just haven't suffered enough themselves to finally accept that they were hoodwinked by a modern day snake-oil-salesman who knows exactly what he is doing and how much damage he has caused.
They still can't openly admit what total fools they were, and are, for supporting him.
Obama is still sticking it to them and the entire country and they are still making excuses for him.
Well, the voters in Pennsylvania should just LOVE the EPA's new Cross State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR). All those local mining jobs will be lost as Eastern Power Plants look to lower-sulfur coal from Wyoming to help them meet the new requirements.
People will wake up eventually.
Washington's actions have caused this problem in the first place. High taxes, excessive regulation, and onerous legislation have slowed business to a crawl. The truth is, right now, businesses and consumers are effectively on strike. Washington needs to get out of the way. Only then will this stagnant economy start generating jobs once again. Washington is the problem, not the solution.
“When historians look back on this moment in American politics, they may wonder why the White House failed to focus on the consuming issue of the time: the economy — and, in particular, jobs.”
Listen to how Jan Schakowsky D-IL flip flops all over the place on the debt crisis then admits the Democrats not only never submitted a budget for over 800 days and ignored any attempt by Republicans to create a jobs bill. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZE3TEiIfcM
I know they don’t count food and fuel as inflation but if you take out the inflation our growth rate is probably a lot deeper into the negative.
Wee-Wee’s Big Adventure.
Wonder when he’ll stop pedalling?
Bump this to the top...and all the excellent FReeper comments.
