Could someone please tell me what are Republicans plans to fix the economy and reform Health Care? Seems to me they offer no new ideas. Only the same failed ideas that got us into this mess in the first place.

I think their plan is pretty simple: Do not throw water on a raging grease fire.
Pelosi and gang appear to have the firetrucks lined up for miles. Get ready because its about to get warmer.
Did everything honestly think 40 years of offshoring so we could have cheaper imports wasn't going to come back and bite us ?
Did you not see the writing on the wall ? Well I guess if you were not in an industry that got offshored you thought it was a good thing because the cost got lowered.
I've been fighting offshoring since the 90's. I'm a software programmer and when the brain drain started with offshoring engineering jobs I got involved. But bigger powers just said that the US was lacking in science and math as the reason for offshoring. We didn't have enough skilled engineers is what they said. And everyone bought it, hook, line and sinker. I can only speak for engineering as that is my field which is quickly shrinking in the US.
I can just imagine Obama and the {D}s in 2012 of what their campaign rhetoric will be,Obama will claim that when he took office 700,000 people were losing their jobs.But after 3 stimulas plans costing 2 trillion their is only 30,000 people losing their jobs a month.Which proves that my economic policy that a {D}congress passed is working and our economy is booming.
You have to be a total imbecile to believe that unemployment numbers are growing every month but the economy is turning around.
That 85,000 number, in context, is actually really good. It's far, far lower than anything we've seen in a year.
Another sign the economy's on the road to recovery and even the lagging indicator of employment is starting to budge!
Except that the Christmas shopping season usually opens up a large number of jobs and so in spite of the malls and Walmarts being packed full of shoppers, the economy didn't improve.
I think it's more depressing there was no real job growth from 2000-2009.
Yet, the population of this country is growing at a very high rate. It's jumped from 300 million to 308 million in just a couple of years.
I think there actually are jobs being created or we wouldn't have so many illegals pouring over the border, they all aren't getting right onto welfare handouts so many of them are working and they obviously can afford large families unlike Americans.
It seems to me that jobs are actually being created but most are black market jobs where people work for untaxed cash. 8 million new people in just a couple of years is nothing to sneeze at.

All indicators show that the economy is turning around. Your example doesn't really explain anything because all the companies are still in recovery. We're not there yet, but getting there.
