Both parties have become so focused on centralized planning and government spending they are no longer capable of any form of successful governing. Without significant changes in their modern ideologies their failure will continue. This is the classic liberals time. We must move away from relegating ourselves to critics and start taking action to build a powerful coalition over the next 10 years. What many see as the end of the American way of life is also a unique opportunity to capitalize on government failure and restore classic liberalism in America. Without a wealthy American free market the social democracys of Europe will show their true weakness. No longer will the be able to piggy back off the American market machine in order to pay for the top heavy centralized governments.

Of course it’s all for their Leftist government elitist agenda and power, which they are unfortunately accomplishing here through such means as those cited above, and others, all to permanently establish and entrench control by and dependence upon Leftist government elitists, with their attitudes and actions based upon and derived from such as "The Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto" (1848, by Karl Marx), no matter in what way, when, and how much longer they may choose to proclaim or deny their Marxist basis and associations as it suits their political expedience. You who doubt this can dare to actually think and get the facts for yourself instead of uncritically swallowing whatever the Leftist government elitists and their willing accomplices in academia and the media say, at which point you will most probably find it's all true...which is exactly what the Leftist government elitists and their willing accomplices are afraid of.

How about doing it this way; Take five hundred billion and give ten million recently laid off unemployed workers $50,000 each, and tell them it is a one time offer. Take this money and start a business, (Banks should be happy to invest a match amount at least) or stay on unemployment benefits till they run out! If ten million people start a business and half fail, but the other half succeed and average two employees each, there's twenty million people employed, not even counting the businesses that supply their companies, stay in business and don't have to lay off anyone!

I am a nurse, & I work with nurses who have relocated from Canada because they were unable to secure permanent employment with benefits there. Canada's crushing tax burden probably had nothing to do with it . . . After becoming U.S. citizens & gaining the right to vote in this country, these same nurses voted for the current president, who promises "free" healthcare! Since this recession began, & our employer lost $40 million in the stock market, the number of nursing jobs listed by our almost 600-bed employer has shrunk from dozens to, well, maybe a dozen! Sure, people are hanging on to their jobs, but the nurse managers at our facility are cutting out overtime, & decreasing some full-time positions to part-time per the instructions of hospital administrators. So, where are we all going to work when "free health care is available, & the only jobs available for nurses are those that let us fill in for a few hours as needed & offer no benefits? How many hospitals will close when they can't stay afloat financially because care is rationed & payments are cut? Letting me keep more of my paycheck would be an incentive for me to work more hours & spend money the way I used to! But, why work extra hours when most of the extra money I make goes to the government? I'm cutting back to a bare minimum -- on phone service, cable TV, electricity, water, food, & clothing. Our vehicles aren't gas guzzlers (we get 35 - 40 miles per gallon), & we own them free & clear. So, we'll drive them until the die! Then, we'll buy used cars. The democrats' economic stimulus is designed to buy the votes of foolish people by giving them a little taste of money today, then stealing a lot of money away tomorrow (1/1/2010, when the Bush tax cuts have expired). And, a lot of people think raising taxes will really stick it to those "rich people" who have an unfair advantage in life! I guess people who hate "rich people" work for simple folks who have no assets (or the federal gov't)! The way Wall Street is rallying for the last week gives me H - U - G - E confidence! Yep, back-breaking taxation is the best way to improve our economy! :( I am terrified of what this Congress & President are doing, but I am even more afraid of the people I see everyday who are fawning over a man who wants to spread the wealth!
