Considering how the Democrats systematically destroyed public schools here in California thirty years ago before taking that crusade nationwide and succeeding in too many states to count, who would you expect them to blame?
It's not Bush or Obama, it's repub trickle-down and deregulation started 30 years ago. Taxpayers are rewarding corporations for outsourcing jobs to take advantage of dollar-a-day workers, and shipping the products back to sell to American workers now unemployed. An extra nickel for shareholders. The repub "free market" is on a worldwide search for slave labor, and demanding taxpayer support for this.
Repub media lauds their "free market" philosophy while at the same time demanding taxpayer subsidies and bailouts. "Privatize the profits and socialize the losses" seems to be the right wing business model.
50,000 U.S. factories closed in the last ten years - by design, and subsidized by taxpayers to move to corners of the planet where the cheapest labor is. So we move the jobs overseas but leave the customers here. Does this make any sense - at least for manufacturing? We forgot about Henry Ford's philosophy - that his employees were to buy his product.
And the goal of "conservative" media is to get the American worker to accept his or her fate.
ahh the old tired blame the republicans for everything approach. never mind that democrats had a solid hand in the outsourcing of jobs as well through excessive regulation on business, and that the unions continually priced themselves out of the job market with their demands for more money and more benefits that they pay very little for. and never mind that the US tax policies are also anti business.
case in point, mazda has decided to move mazda 6 production from the flat rock michigan plant back to japan because building the car in japan, then paying the cost of shipping them to the US, and paying the import duties on the cars sold here is CHEAPER than building the cars here in the US.
if we were to cut back on the excessive regulations, simplify the tax code, and rein in the unions power, you can bet that investment in the US would increase and that would improve the job market in the US. we also need a better monetary policy as well, we cant keep the dollar as weak as it is for as long as it has been without consequences.

Gawd, read the freakin posts.
* "Hands-off-corporations" deregulation, not excessive regulation, allows outsourcing. Do you know the difference? Name one of these "excessive regulations".
I don't put much faith in the American people. I mean MOST American's gave us Obama and Bush twice...not the brightest bunch of folks we are talking about here.
Pretty sad and telling about Obama ... he can't lead his way out of a paper bag and all he can do is blame others for his failures ... Obama is no leader ...
America had the most severe recession, under GWB, since the great depression. It took over 10 years for America to recover from the depression. What do you expect from Obama, to undo the damage Bush did in less than two years?
Banks failed and stock markets crashed September 16, 2008 during Bush term. Obama took office Jan. 20, 2009. How can anyone in their right mind blame Obama for the financial crisis? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!!!!!
They have been skewered by propaganda such as Fox News, etc.....
After 20 months of BO people are hurting and afraid for their future. Obama's big government approach is scaring business so they are afraid to expand and hire.
I believe that BO wants the American economic system to fail so that people will have no choice but to rely on big government.
Who told you that? BTW, how many years did it take America to recover after the great depression?
