Why would anyone trust Democrats in the next mid terms and never mind Ms. Clinton to be President???:th ink:
LOL,
By your logic, i could live in a house for 8 years and burn it down on the day i move out and be a great home owner compared to the guy who decides to rebuild it brick by brick.

The crash of 2008 was largely the product of the housing bubble--we all know that. The Bush Admin, especially John Snow, had tried to take steps to reform Fannie Mae, but was rebuffed by House Democrats, who thought Fannie Mae was fine as it was:
You mean the House that Republicans controlled for the first 6 Years of President Bush's administration ?
every Democrat in Congress could have voted against president Bush's wishes and he would have still been able to win a House vote on his own parties strength.
You mean the Pelosi & Reid Depression. Congress writes the legislation to correct the wrongs.
Taking leadership of both houses of Congress, in 2007 we quickly went into a downfall. Unlike Obama, President Bush just signed, or vetoed legislation coming from congress, he didn't create legislation, in the oval office as a dictator does.
Bush warned congress for years before Pelosi and Reid got the keys to the candy store.
Did you totally forget how Government works.
This is why GWB was responsible for the great recession:
1. Deregulated Wall Street
2. Cut Taxes For The Wealthy
3. Ran Up A Tab On Two Wars
4. Left Homeowners In A Lurch
5. Weakened Workers
Well since the Dems are taking responsibility for the recovery why didn't they aim for higher paying jobs ?
Why create all these low paying service jobs ?
Why are the Dems setting the bar so low ? Is that really "the best" the Dems can do ?
I agree with you that we need to increase minimum wage.
I am thinking it should be about 15$/hr. What are you thinking?
You do realize that the worst 20 unemployment states include NY, IL, NJ, CA, and OR. If you go by population those 5 states dwarf the other 15. It's easy to play the blame game, but the right to work states have the lowest unemployment.
...and the lowest top 20 are mostly red states, if we use your example.
If participation rates are to climb, the government has to reconfigure welfare to be a hand up and not a hand out. We are breeding a "what can you do for me" nation of takers, rather than a "what can I do for myself" pool of doers.
...and this ^^^^^^^^^^^
Participation rates are really low in the southern right to work states.
