I've been wondering that how can America get out of this rough economy that it's in, and I've also been wondering how did this country get into this situation in the first place.

As for on how to try to get out of the recession, bringing back jobs to America and ending or reducting outsourcing is what I think will pull us out of the recession.

It's possible yes, just like a normal budget anyone has, there needs to be controlled spending and income generated to pay the bills. What got us into this mess was Bush and the republicans giving massive handouts and tax breaks to the rich, while spending like lunatics on pork like the bloated defense led us into financial disaster. What needs to be done is what was wildly successful in the Clinton administration, fair tax rates, controlled spending, and slash the pork. The democrats, libertarians, independents and liberals all want to do this, but the right and tea party absolutely refuse.

Didn't Republicans control Congress for most of Clinton's years as president?

Default change community organizer for economic improvement

How?

Take that promise of change and get rid of the current administration who got the car out of the ditch and drove it off the cliff.

It is useless to talk of solutions as the dogmatic ideologists currently in power have set their course for destruction which they view as the rebirth of a nation.

Whys Obama, the media proclaimed great orator, is a failure at communication.

Every crisis that occurs is apparently expected but the electorate is never told it is part of the plan. Obama then stands up and says, 'let me be clear' this crisis was to be expected.... well if he has that much foresight and information why wait until the bad news arrives to address it?

Today he sounded lost, weak and feeble telling his 'wrangler' story. Couldn't see that one coming.
