Obama needs to quit faking it with the public...
And just admit that Republicans and Wall Street have totally looted the US economy...and there is nothing that can be done...
Instead of trying to cut entitlements to seniors and the new poor...
Washington should be setting up the MASSIVE WELFARE SYSTEM that will be needed to keep the unemployed off the streets...
Obama had an impossible job...and anyone with any economics background could see from the start he was just faking it... At best wishful thinking...in the midst of a massive banking and financial collapse...
Of course the Republicans and Wall Street were the main looters...that is ending now...but only because post-collapse there is nothing left to loot...
The question in 2012 should be WHO CAN PROVIDE FOR THE VAST AMERICAN POOR AND UNEMPLOYED...?
Somehow I don't see the Fox Republicans filling that role in the next election...
American Stupidity caused this problem...perhaps the American Stupids can solve it in 2012 with a Republican government in Washington...
As a Progressive I'd have no problem with that...because there is no known way out of the current collapse.
Postscript:
Perhaps I should define what I mean by "American Stupids"... An American Stupid is a working poor or unemployed person who still votes Republican. And then wonders why things are only getting worse for them...fly-over-country is FULL OF THEM...
