The D Word

Unemployment is at a 25-year high, and that's the official 8.1% which doesn't include those who have given up on looking or are in part-time jobs when they'd prefer full-time, i.e. getting their old job back, which is estimated (the "U-6"number) at 14.8%.

Yep, Bush, Cheney, Phil Gramm and their fellow geniuses have bankrupted America, just like many on the left had been predicting all along. And now they try to pin it on Obama.

What's really happening is a complete remaking of the workforce, Industrial Revolution-style. This is where the rape of the Earth and our greed for luxury is meeting the road. Slews of the jobs going away are not coming back, some will take years to return, but essentially America has to reorganize huge sectors of its economy around new forms of businesses and work. It's why the stimulus is so crucial and why the safer landing would have included universal health insurance already in place.

Instead, those who got us here in the first place, think that decent health care is only a right for those rich enough for it.

Don't let them tag Obama. Make they pay so they can't do this again for a long, long time.
