Keep it up. "2008bill" has no answers for the valid points you make so he does what "2008bill" does, change the subject. I have asked him on several occassions to list Nobama/s Accomplishments. To date he has failed to do so. He is sim ply a troll, a parrot, he says nothing but he says nothing often.
Peace

We used to do great things in this country. Now it is all ideology and interest groups and two parties fighting each other. We built the Hoover dam, Eisenhower built the interstate, Kennedy said "we will put a man on the moon." That is what made America great.
We could put people back to work, but both parties do not commit themselves to do it. One party looks to welfare and the other party looks to the constitution and says "you can't do that." Hence, laissez-faire." Oh well.

From my comment you could deduce that I believe he wrote the books himself. But I would not be surprised if there is a good amount of fiction in these biographies, and if he had some "help" writing them.

I think welfare contributes to unemployment by making it too easy for lazy Americans to make bad personal choices without suffering the consequences.
But Republicans share the blame for our high unemployment in a couple of ways themselves.
One is the almost fanatical belief in free trade.
Too much of a good thing has sent millions of good jobs to China.
Another bad policy that Republicans and Democrats in Congress share the blame for is open borders with Mexico and the failure to enforce our immigration laws.
There are more illegal aliens living and working in America than there are American citizens looking for a job.
Deport the illegal aliens and our unemployment rate would much lower than it is now.

If you don't fix what ails the country, then you will have more welfare. As I said before, you invest in your country, in your people, and in the future. Since we have not done that, we are reduced to cash for clunkers, extension of unemployment benefits, bailouts for cities and states, and casinos for every state.

The REALLY scary thing is how he apparently passed a top-top-secret background check.

I agree that we need to fix the economic situation.
What I want to see is lower government spending combined with lower payroll and corporate taxes as the fastest and best way to stimulate the economy.
And government spending for stimulus should be for real infastructure projects like roads and bridges, harbors, and other transportation projects.
We should also be doing more reduce our dependence on foreign oil which will involve creating job in the domestic oil industry, building nuclear power plants and yes, even windmills where they are practical.
Some of those projects would involve government money but in most cases it just means letting private capital do what it does best.
We could also put millions of Americans back to work by enforcing our immigration laws and deporting everyone who is here illegally.

Here in WA state the stimulus money that went to the state did only go for roads. Nothing else here.

It appears that very little of the money went for roads and bridges.

Maybe there is a reason that the Constitution (which I spell with a capital 'C' because it deserves that respect and it is a proper name)doesn't allow the Federal Government to 'do that.' The Founding Fathers put restriction on the government so that we wouldn't have the mess we have today. Sadly, we have failed to follow the Constitution and the Supreme Court has failed to call Congress out on its folies.

My feeling is that we lost a lot of manufacturing plants. And it is no secret why. It is cheap labor and we cannot compete with 2 to 3 billion people in the world. This has been ignored for a number of years. Therefore, you invest in your country by investing in energy and putting a new air traffic control system in place and this will make airlines fly more direct routes, which means savings in fuel. It will make the airlines more profitable and they will buy aircraft, producing more jobs.
Investing in your people, you will need an educated society to compete with globalization. So that is mandatory vocational training. Republicans do not like this, but this is what has to be done.
And Investing in the future, by investing in all sciences and also federal research grants to our universities.
We have to accept the fact that widgets can be made anywhere. Therefore, you have to try and create jobs any way you can.
