You smoke crack.

The right wing and the neo/con econ got us here. The ne/con loves to destroy the American worker, look at Sipan. Thats what you want to do here in America. Screw the worker, get filthy rich, thats the right wing way. Bash Obama, he is another Bush, a copy cat of Bush. These Trade laws are the right wings trade laws--SCREW AMERICA- PUT DOWN THE PIPE

Unemployment will remain high until we know what the lefties have planned for us regarding taxes and other issues that directly affect hiring decisions.

The more unknowns (tax rates, tax-and-trade scam, gov healthcare, etc.) the less likely business are to hire people.

Stop the spending and lower taxes. Obama's radicals don't seem to get these simple concepts as they've apparently had very little private sector experience (real jobs).
