Wow, so cutting government spending and eliminating government jobs doesn't help put people back to

So the republican way doesn't work. Of course I knew that and now the market is reacting to that, just like when boner said he got 98 percent of what he wanted on the debt deal. The market hates the republicans and their ideas.

We need to give Obama more democratic voices in the house and senate to get shit done.

1. Wow, who'da thunk, huh?

2. Who'da guessed, huh? Another Republican economic theory shot to Hell.

We'll probably only keep depending on that theory for
another few decades...

3. States laying off workers and cutting spending seems to wipe out

any gains.

We have extremely high unemployment so let us tighten
our belts. Herbert Hoover followied his Republican
Orthodoxy and we had the crash of 1929.

Conservative Governors following their Party's orthodoxy
cut cut cut ignoring the financial status of the coutry.

The Tea Party and the Republicans have a decision to reach.
Do they want to further damage the economy ore put the
country above party and work with the President.

This economy needs much more than a continous attack by
Defict Hawks. Congress look at what is happening in the
states to those on the CUT CUT Cut Trip.

4. I agree ... lower the unemployment rate,

the higher spendable income is used in repairing the nations economy .... the sooner the recession starts the road of recovery. Eliminating jobs has a adverse effect which we are witnessing now. Employees salaries is just a small percentage of companies profit margin. Open job market! Problem works its self out.

5. We should start identifying potential challengers to Republicans.

We need a challenger for every single teabagger.

And if the national Democratic Party does not want to apply the Howard Dean philosophy about running candidates in "solid Republican" districts, we should encourage people to do it on their own.

We at least should provide the public with an alternative.

Mods: let's start a special group for "Take Back the Congress" where we discuss ideas about how to get more Democrats into Congress and name potential candidates we can support.

I am in a solid Democratic district, but I would like to hear about challengers in Republican districts.

6. They lie. They don't want to create jobs, just more wealth for the wealthy. Period.
