Currency trader, you need to look a little harder at the facts.

It was under Clintons watch that they decided all americans regardless of income should be able to buy a house. Banks were forced to make loans to those who could not  afford them. The wheels were put in motion. Now we have all these bad loans out there and the banks are being punished for doing what they were forced to do.

Corporate taxes where lowered under Bushes watch to reduce the outflow of jobs to countries with lower corporate tax rates.

Now under Obama's watch we are trying to spend our way out of debt.

And threatening to over tax corporations who will in turn move more jobs away.

Do I disagree with everything Clinton did, No.

I also don't agree with everything Bush did.

I would have a difficult time finding anything about Obama that I can agree with. Other than he seems to be determined to destroy the USA.

I am not a democrat or republican, I am a lower middle class american who understands that you can't spend your way out of dept. Nor can you tax your way to prosperity.

Get rid of the loop holes and lower the tax rates. You will create an environment where companies will hire more people who in turn will pay taxes, buy products, and build prosperity for this once great nation.

The US government  has doubled in size in less than a decade.

Most government jobs pay more than private sector jobs and the benefits are better.

Who is flipping the bill for those jobs.

Those big corporations that some are wanting to tax away.

Tax them, watch them leave, then someday we will all be remembering a time when you could get unemployment when you were laid off, and Social Security when you retired, medicare, disability or workman's comp if you were hurt, and all the other benefits many now receive. Because they will all be gone. No more corporations to tax to fund these entitlements. No more jobs for americans.

People need to wake up and face reality.

You can not continue to tax the wealthy into poverty.

Like it or not the wealthy supply most of the money that our government spends and borrows against.

We can not afford as a country to continue giving entitlements to 51%. That means just slightly under half the nation is supporting the rest of the nation. Get a clue. OK increase taxes on businesses and what will they do. 1st they will raise the price of their products to pay for the taxes. Who really ends up paying the tax. Then they will move more jobs to countries with lower tax rates. The USA has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world. If you are lucky enough to still have a job today how do you think they will be able to compete in a global market and create jobs, let alone keep you employed.

We are going to tax ourselves out of jobs because so many people think they are entitled to govenment aid that the rest of us work and pay into to provide.

Where in the Constitution does it say you have a right to live of off the government.

I am not saying there are not those who deserve government aid but there are as many who don't that get aid as those who do. I see it all the time.

People who are completely capable of working even bragging how they have beat the system. Yes they have and they are also helping to bring this once great country to it's knees.

This was supposed to be the land of opportunity. Where anyone can try to live their dreams. One could build their own company and hopefully become profitable. And others would applaude, them because they provided jobs for others. Now people and our president curse them.

Cramer was saying just a couple of weeks ago, after the first 500 point meltdown, before the 600 point downgrade meltdown, that he would be a buyer at these levels.   Now, it's not looking so good.

Nice to see that Cramer is finally coming around to a viewpoint that many of us have held for quite some time.

Whats worse than finding a worm in an apple you are eating,  finding half a worm.

Jim,  I wish you would shave so I could see what you look like,  or---, are you trying to tell us something?

Dell has not made a great product in sometime, and in hard times the buyers become more discerning.

Hmmm are we having a recession soon or not. is growth maybe plus 2% for the next few qrts or could we see a coulple of minus 1 quarters in there. Its like watching an old man on a bad bike ride up hill What happens if he hits a speed bump will that make him stop, what happens if the soft tire really goes flat........

So how do we compete in a global economy

1. Education Education Education   we still have to import folks for alot of high paying jobs since we have a shortage of scientists, engineers, doctors etc

2. build infrastructure in america not afghanistan, or anywhere else 

3. develop a national energy policy we should be selling oil not importing it

4. get our debt under control  about 4 trillion in debt reduction this decade is minimal. Remember the Obama/Boehner plan that would have about covered it

If we do these step we will have anice economy in a few years until then we are just a bunch of old men praying the leaky trie will not go flat
