Funny thing... You can create all the jobs you want, if these jobs aren't producing capital (products that can be used) than you aren't helping. They SHOULD be concentrating on getting factories and businesses back here so people can start banking capital. Instead of throwing money at the problem you think they would have thought things through wouldn't you? you're right, the only way we could come out of this is if our gdp could expand beyond our debts. the only way for that to happen is to create manufacturing jobs so we can export to other countries. Funny thing!!!!! This problem is even bigger gobally. Just who the hell are you going to sell your exports to? Who is going to buy your product??????

I always enjoying your thoughts but must ask the same question. Who is going to buy your exports???

We need to create jobs producing a "QUALITY" product that is sold right here. Bring back "Quality control" and pride in "American Made"..My dad always taught me that you get what you pay for and be willing to pay more for the best. We need to QUIT importing everything and start producing quality products "WE" all will buy.

Bottom line is that unemployment is continuing to increase because of failures in our financial system. Obama's tangents on health care and energy shouldn't even be a priority at this point. New directions in those areas that he has announced has not been received well on Wall Street. You may hate banks and Wall Street but that's what keeps Americans working. Investors are running from health care and energy sectors and without capital job loss soon follows. Unemployment will not stabilize until the finacial system stabilizes. Obama's Treasury Department is clueless and in shambles. http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20090306/pl_politico/19723 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/05/AR2009030501358_pf.html

He not from Hawaii, he's from some African country. Everyone of at least some significance soundly disagrees with your uninformed and obviously biased opinion.

Energy will also help everyone in the future too.

Its our fault and I continue to try and get everyone to see. We continue to vote for the same people until they die. Quit reelecting incumbents. The career politicians are too comfortable.

Energy will also help everyone in the future too. I don't know about energy, but health care (aside from nurses who are understaffed) is getting supersaturated by people leaving other industries that no longer offer jobs. There simply aren't enough jobs for everyone and when you have the local retraining institutions suddenly pushing everybody into health care.... well go figure.

No argument there. Personally, I'm for completely doing away with the current corrupt two party system we have in place and bringing in fresh blood. Can't do any worse than what we've already had..
