Instead of wasting time on inconsequential bullshit like cap and trade, you guys should worry about how damaging the FED is to our economy like Ron Paul does. They totally restructured our business cycle, and we get recessions INCREDIBLY frequently. We don't have a single decade in the US anymore without a recession. At most, it's about 7-8 years of boom and then a recession. How about reimplementing the gold standard, which was hugely successful and not very inflation-prone?

You talk of how much of a "free-market" guy Reagan was, but you forget all the massive spending he approved or the payroll tax increase he signed onto. If Reagan was really into cutting spending so much, he would've told the Democrats in Congress, "Look, either you don't pass this spending, or I'm not passing this budget." It's not that damn hard! Cold War or not, it wouldn't have taken THAT long to.

Reagan only 'slowed the growth' of regulations not actually reduce many.

How about reducing the corporate tax? We have the 2nd-highest corporate tax in the world. Getting rid of all the subsidies, tax breaks for particular companies, barriers to entry, antitrust exemptions, etc.? You know, implementing a REAL free market. Even Tim Carney (if I remembered his name right) of the CEI wrote a book about corporate welfare and corporatist politics.

Leave the jobs summits to the libertarians, like me. We know more about free market principles than you guys. You guys on the Righ tand GOP are just a bunch of corporatists. You give constant tax breaks, subsidies, etc. to businesses and give OTHER businesses plenty of barriers to entry, preventing real competition. You give antitrust exemptions to insurance companies, and few conservatives seem willing to talk of repealing McCarran-Ferguson.

Gingrich for president 2012 !!!

Bill Clinton never hired anyone, and his job market was really good.

Cutting taxes to the rich doesn't create jobs. G.W.Bush proved that.

The people that bought those houses were schemed into those predatory loans. It was unethical on the mortgage company's side.

We can't compete with foreign countries with with our current currency exchange rates.

Newt Gingrich "one of the most enlightened brains" in America?... No

If he were enlightened, he'd sponsor things like school choice on his "education reform tour" instead of wasting time hanging out with race-baiting jackass Al Sharpton and Obamacrat Arne Duncan. Sharpton wouldn't know a good education policy if hit him in the ass.

If God is the "protector" of freedom, why do so many people who believe in god wanna take away freedom? The Islamists wanna blow you up, and the Christian radicals in gov't and Christian Right wanna take away social liberties. come on. not foolin anyone.

And why are these kids the main people at the summit? Shouldn't a "jobs summit" have experts from business and gov't on how best to create jobs? Or is this merely a "training" exercise in campaigning for conservatism?

[clayguy1]

@whoo689... This is an exercise in irritating Liberal spewing idiots like yourself. God gives us the guidelines we should follow in life. There are always those who distort what God says. So what else is new?

God doesn't protect, but that man protects himself. God is inspiration. Man is man. Now I know all that is irritating for liberals to hear for liberals. It's like change magnetic poles.. you can't. Liberals are the negative charge and Conservatives are the Positive.

Ook... He starts off with a prayer. Great... Is it just me or does he look like Texas Governor Rick Perry? it's creepin me out.

And why is the state auditor holding a "jobs summit"? Wouldn't it be more prudent for a business regulator or business official in gov't like the State Sec. of Commerce (or whatever they have in MS) doing this?

[whoo689]

The state auditor is telling people about how Ben Franklin (stupidly) thought it was somehow prudent to open each session of gov't with PRAYER?? That's how he starts this? Uh, hello? Separation of church and state anyone? Seriously, I don't want some jackass gov't official PROMOTING faith like a sleazeball, esp. at a JOBS SUMMIT!!

[acbarnette]

LIke I used to tell my kids when they were young. When you criticize something you do not understand, it does not make that thing look stupid, it makes you look stupid. Millsaps College is a private, Methodist Church college, so separation of church and state (which you obviously do not understand either) does not apply, stupid.
