There is so much going on that I am at a loss as to how to start. Big three bailout, Massive infrastructure package, reported higher job losses, now the Tribune company is filing for chapter 11. Then I read how the Democrat left wing is up in arm over being left out of the Cabinet picks so far. It seems to me that everyone is missing several points here.
  1. Raising taxes: As discussed, do we want to create temporary work with the infrastructure works bill, or figure out a way to create new jobs. Democrats seem to have this fear of business, yet new jobs are created by those who have enough money to invest. I don't have any problem with the rich. I, along with everyone else, would like to be rich myself
  2. Massive Big Three bailout: I am beginning to believe that solution is to let GM and Chrysler declare Chapter 11 and give them the time to rebuild the companies, even if they are smaller. And allow them to build the pickup's and SUV's
So what is the right answer. I don't know but I think the Democrats don't know either.
