There is hope for you yet, newonecoming.

You want to understand how our economy has been utterly destroyed .. and why it won't be fixed by the buffoons in government today, watch the whole interview, and realize that folks like Prof. Tyson are still providing advice on the US economy to the Savior-In-Chief.

She couldn't have been more wrong in 1994, and she shouldn't be allowed to teach economics to grade schoolers. Yet, she is a Presidential advisor?

Give me a break. The blind leading the blind, cheered on by the deaf, dumb and stupid. That's the reality.


GuyNTexas said the preceding words and I really liked the sound of them and you came back and called him a left wing socialist for saying them. Is there any way I can take that rep back? I don't think I would do that if I could but you need to read his words again or two and maybe change the words of your reply.

In this case..more regulation hurt us.
This situation happens at the state level as well. Californina has such onerous regulations for doing business in their state that few if any companies will knowingly move their operations there and many have left for better business accomodations. Texas however has very business-friendly regulations that encourage companies to move here and so they do. Having said that, look at the economic diffferences in the two states, and try to explain why a state would deliberately want to punish businesses and entrepreneurs and cost itself thousands of jobs that they desperately need.
