    • It is depressing to hear just how much Bush has ruined about our economy and the fact that the Republicans' negative momentum related to spending and taxes will continue to affect even the recovery after Obama turns the policies around.

      Republicans are truly self-centered pirates that have not only stolen from the country and its poorest people but who have done so with the notion that their constant negative stereotyping of Democrats would hide the theft for decades.

      The infrastructure of this once-great land has been neglected and allowed to decay while Republican supply side economists have siphoned billions away to wage war and bail out corporate bandits.

      May Congress pass a law that is able to raid the offshore accounts and the transferred wealth of those raiders like the late Kenny Boy Lay, Jack Abramoff, up to the latest con men involved in the Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae collapse.

    • I like that Galbraith focuses on what Obama offers in addressing US economic issues in multi-level proposals.
      Thanks.
