I keep saying that the only real way to heal the economy is to bring jobs back from over seas. If people have jobs then that means they have money to spend. When they spend their money the businesses profit. Businesses profit which in turn raises stock values.
Its a full circle, take one part of that circle out and were in trouble.
Personally, health care reform would be nice but the problem still remains. The people that really make a difference in this economy (the average blue collar joe and jane) are the ones that can make a difference but, they can only make the changes if they have the jobs needed to fill their bank accounts so they can buy the products and things that will put that money full circle.
Just a thought, if the rich get richer and dont let the money flow go full circle then they economy will never fully heal.
