we still have. Didn't work. The fed has interest rates at historic lows as with mortgage rates, still not working.
Massive layoffs at the beginning of both Bush terms and at the end. Sending us to 2 wars was the icing on the cake.
The common denominator is us. Not the govt, pres and it's two faced cronies. If we don't spend, there is no economy.
What is the single largest deduction from your pay check that's not tax deductible? HEALTH INSURANCE! Just imagine
the untold bets you could make with that extra $500 a month. A nicer home, a nice new car. How about a swimming pool?
The govt needs to get a handle on out of control health insurance for the good of the economy, to get us spending again.
'bamacare is a step in the right direction.
