    You're right Germany's export based economy is thriving because they killed off unions, deregulated industry and cut taxes left and right.

    And the decline in American manufacturing has directly correlated with the rise in union membership in these industries over the last few decades.

    Admit it Commodore; the thing you guys are really concerned with (and scared ****less about) is giving the president a victory in an election season.

    So let's let the impoverished suffer because a few GOP/Libertarian assholes won't support creating new jobs. The first step to revitalizing our economy is lowering that unemployment rate.

    Not to mention a more educated pop. won't hurt us. And maybe, eventually, they'll stop voting for the idiot Republicans who got us into this mess.

    I admitz I ain't very good with numbers but if GDP is 15 trillion how can boosting it 1.3% with 450 billion be good?
