did anyone watch the yank elections?

He already had 4 years to sort out jobs and it got worse, not better. Also has little to no bearing on SS. Unemployment payments, yes - which are also taken by force, only paid out of approved, and only worth 35% of what the worker was forced to put in over a 5 year period, not cumulative for the entire time they were in the workforce. How fair is it to have the gov't forcibly take a persons wages (for SS, for income taxes, for medicare, for unemployment 'insurance') and then do as much as possible not to pay it back to that person?
He could have introduced a real works project to spend the stimulus on (like the interstate highway system did in 1956 and might have had some real job creation success.

now it's moving from obamacare to who should be in power. the argument then goes to who fault the problem was and who could sort it out better than the democrats, which is an argument no one can win depending on ones politics.

while i agree with todd, what is suggested is impractical if the usa as a country wants to survive in the economic market place.

and emptying prisons of non-violent criminals

this means burglars, all kinds of thieves, fraudsters, car thieves, and pyramid schemers to name but a few tens of million. you think you have economic problems now, don't put these people in prison and within five years you have anarchy and a bankrupt country on your hands.

weed has been made legal in some states, as has same sex marriage. if more states make weed legal less people will be in prison. in todds world no home would be safe, no article, unless protected at the cost of another's life. most everything else i too agree with. healthcare for all being of paramount importance.
