Solving the economic problem is not going to be a shorterm thing. we are in for 3-5 years if not more of "The Great Recession".

Again if you read the figures in the "made in america thread" outsourced jobs account for LITTLE TO NONE of the "jobs lossed in america" so that is NOT the problem. Those are Govt statistics so there is no bias.

Putting "americans back to work" is necessary, but there has to be companies offering those jobs to begin with. If the economy keeps tanking we cannot expect the govt to shoulder the entire burden and start paying out even trillions more to put people back to work. That would only make things worse IMO as our dollar will continue to devaluate. What good is working for a dollar that is worth nothing
The answer is to let things fail IMO, and to let things restructure.

We got ourselves into this mess by over consuming and living outside ohur means, its time to be brought back to reality.
Are you kidding me!!! i really hope you are not that stupid! go to detroit or any other industial are area and say the same thing in front of a group of layed of workers and if you have the balls to say ill bet you get your head cracked! just let things fail? bust the unions man the repudlicans are trying hard for that one lets restructure so we can pay the workers a lot less huh. i know obama already has a similar plan but i hope he does not try and start two small!
