The WSJ has two great articles about the jobs situation. Take the time to read them. We cannot continue the way we are going. The past 4 years have shown the Democratic view is simply incorrect. Those numbers about SS disability and food stamps are unbelivable.

There is no reason to continue this administration. I have a daughter graduating with an engineering degree in 4 years. I'd rather have a growing, expanding economy and nation to greet her as opposed to what will be left after 4 more years of this nonsense.

How anyone can support the status quo is beyond me.

 What part of this nation being a hair width from all out depression don't they understand? Then they call up welfare and foodstamp rolls? Sure they will increase, its common sense, in 08-09 jobs were drying up at a rate of 700-900K a month! How are people going to eat?

 Its like two kids playing with legos, one kid tears down a huge building, and hides some of the pieces, then stands back and crys "He is not building it back fast enough"! ....

 Gains are gains, the last thing to return in any economy are jobs, we are not going to stimulate growth by giving tax breaks to the rich again, tax rates for the rich are at the lowest point in forty years, WHERE are the jobs? Our economy depends on consumers, the majority of consumers are common folk who have had their wages cut, their Unions destroyed, their jobs sent overseas, and savings decimated.. This was all done by people such as Romney, nothing personal, its about profit..

  I would much rather see steady growth, than boom and bust.. The next bust will make 08-09 look like a walk in the park folks.. Romneys plans sound too much like Bush's plans, no thank you...

Webster, please explain to us exactly what Rmoney's plan is to instantly create hundreds of thousands of jobs as soon as he is elected...and while you're at it, please tell us how he intends to cut the deficit by cutting taxes and starting another war, this time with Iran.

Inquiring minds want to know.

Theres no measurable difference in the result of either of them having been the pres.. we are headed for the dust bin, neither one is gonna turn us away from the cliff.

Not taxing the rich and cutting the old peoples SS benefits is gonna make everything all better.

Midnight: no one is talking about not taxing the rich.

If you checking account runs out of money, cutting benefits is a foregone conclusion, don’t you think?

SS will ‘end as we know it’ on it’s own; would you rather we try to do something or should we just stay with your idea which is as long as Midnight gets his, to hell with everyone else?...

The short version is to give the people back their own money and let the invisible hand take its course. How did we recover from Carter’s disaster? By a million little individual decisions made in the marketplace.  It is a phenomenon that cannot be micro managed.

How did the US grow to the superpower economically it is (or was)?  We had little micromanagement during our ascent yet we somehow managed to do what hadn’t been done before to such a large degree which was to give everyone an opportunity to raise their standard of living. That was unheard of on a large scale before the US came along.

What is known is that trying to micro manage such a complex organism as the economy of the US usually does not produce the intended result simply because there are too many ‘moving parts’.

Generally speaking, cutting taxes increases overall revenue; raising taxes decreases overall revenue. See California.  This is a lesson the left refuses to learn a.  

I'm not sure about a war in Iran. I think if Israel had confirmation they had or were within a hair of developing a nuke, israel would destroy the complex. If the other countries knew the US and Britain were on board; I don't think anyone else would join in on an attack against Israel. Iran would be no match against Israel in a convention war so the situation would reset itself. Pakistan is a bit of a wild card however which is another reason why no other country should be allowed to develop nukes.  

"Midnight: no one is talking about not taxing the rich."  Exxon Mobil has made more money than any corp. in the history of the world! Do they pay any taxes?

"If you checking account runs out of money, cutting benefits is a foregone conclusion, don’t you think?"  Yes. If it were my checking account I would cut foreign aid and military spending first. Thats the biggest piece of the pie, would affect my lifestyle the least. Only an idiot would spend more on his neighbors house then he does his own!
