We had an industrialized economy in the United States until private enterprise outsourced our major manufacturing with the US Chamber of Commerce and Republican Party's blessings.

The 3 Stooges who broke our economy are proof the Republicans should get out of government and politics.

The Republicans didn’t see a problem with the Gramm Leach Bliley law when it was written. Most Democrats didn’t either. Now Republicans aren’t doing anything to repair the damage and prevent recurrences. Democrats aren’t doing enough.

Republicans and Democrats are bought and payed for by the financial elite. To a large extent it's big business that run America, not politicians.

Remember Rumsfeld reported that the Pentagon lost track of $2.3 trillion in 1 year during peace time. I'm sure government contractors are involved.

How much corporate welfare is paid by the government? Can the government manage without big business?

This is why there needs to be more jobs created in the public sector to keep the economy growing by performing work that big business isn't doing. Or competing with big business to control costs and stay within the budget.

The focus could be more on people instead of profits.

NYC is a scandal-ridden cash cow for corrupt consultants and contractors. The CityTime debacle, which is over $600 million over budget and10 years late, is dwarfed by the 911 emergency phone upgrade disaster, which is going to be $1 billion over budget and 7 years late.

The City mindset is delusional. The City has had a hiring freeze since 2008 to save money, while paying out approximately $2 billion in budget overruns to consultants and contractors for nothing. Scandalous. Where does the money keep coming from?

How does anyone hide $2.3 trillion? Bank bail-out, unregulated derivative markets, two foreign wars, oversea investments, and $15 trillion national debt.

Tony Robbins Explains the National Debt 15 trillion dollars http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jboTeS9Okak [right click]

It’s past time to start screaming, yelling, impeaching the President and shutting the US Government down. This should have started 9/12/2001. Since Romney isn’t talking about this, he isn’t even thinking about solving it. The Republicans allowed this to happen by doing nothing about Pentagon accounting problems found in 2001. Tony Robbins makes $2.3 trillion sound like loose change when compared to the Federal budgets today.

Compounded interest should be eliminated retroactively, if possible. Void and rewrite the contracts. How much of the national debt is represented by compounded interest? Compounding interest creates wealth without doing any real work. There's nothing to show for it except a mathematically inflated bank account without an exchange of tangible goods or services. Eliminating compounded interest might stimulate the economy because capital would have to be used to pay for goods and services to workers instead of sitting in a bank vault gaining interest.

If compounded interest cannot eliminated then it should be implemented to create more wealth for all of us.

If the rich and investors had lost $2.3 trillion in 1 year there would be screaming and threats to close down Washington DC. Senators were screaming and yelling, but on the day after Rumsfeld’s announcement 9/11/2001 Terrorist attacked. There was no yelling and screaming or threats by the rich and investors to shut the US Government down when Rumsfeld announced the Pentagon had lost that much money. Instead Bush went to war against two enemies half-a-world away, who had not attacked us, and gave the Pentagon even more money, while giving the rich a tax cut with the blessings of the Republican-controlled US Congress.

Obama is the choosen one of the financial elite.

No one has gone to jail.

He convinced the public to give them a trillion dollars.

Nothing has been reinstated to prevent the same shit.

The bombs keep dropping, and the Bush cuts remain.

Throw in three new free trade deals, and is a corporation's dream.
