[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 481224, member: 8657"] I see a lot of quick fixes, like little bandaids on a huge, gaping wound. Unemployment benefits and welfare, putting the homeless up for a little while longer, building a few more public housing units (which are no more than rat holes) will employ a few people at best for a short time. Constructing a school or a road or a bridge will offer someone a job for a few months. I don't see anywhere in this "Wish List" a steady job that will last 25 years. That's what folks are looking for. What makes sense is that the government does not and cannot create jobs. Only the market can create jobs. We need to become more self sufficient, or wait for Chinese and Indian companies to outsource their jobs back to us. We wear clothes and shoes every day. So invest in textiles. We drive cars and watch TV every day. Those products should be made here. We need to make and sell items that will be purchased by the rest of the globe. (But it's probably too late for that ...):dissapointed:. Are we number one in medical research? If not, why not? Never hear beans about that... Do we have enough natural resources to sell for a profit? (If we can ever get past the drilling B.S.) Bloating our national debt is an answer for today to a problem that will last for decades. Wall street should learn that failure should not be rewarded. The government needs money. Cut taxes for businesses and the working people and both will have more money to spend. That sure as hell makes more sense than government spending. [/QUOTE]
