Reply #24: Hmm well, you might be missing the fact that policy matters more than popularity [View All]

be that popularity in the positives or in the negatives.

Or you could be missing the fact that unemployment is at 13% in my state.

Or the fact that we need to be measuring unemployment using U6 numbers, not U3 numbers.

A few things you could be missing.

But hey I supported ARR (aka stimulus bill) as a perfect example of something that was insufficient and had some crappy policy sections, but had enough good in it and benefits for working families to make supporting it the better options.

My biggest disappointment with the handing of the economic crisis, part of the mass give-away buffet to wall street and the trickle-down economic approach of this Democratic administration pulled straight out of Reagan's playbook...

....my biggest disappointment is the lack of political courage to address the structural injustices in our economic system itself - in our core way of doing business in this country - and instead sought to return everything to the status quo. The status quo is why we keep having these burst bubbles, and its progressively leading to greater income inequality, debt, declining wages and all around economic unsustainability.

Rather than doing something serious about it, this administration continued on with wall street business as usual. :(
