Let's try you on math.

Is it better to have hundreds of thousands more people sitting at home drawing unemployment or a welfare check paying no taxes and buying almost nothing (some sealing & robbing to survive)...

OR

Is it better to have those same people working on real & terribly needed improvements to our nations infrastructure paying something back into the system in taxes and buying as anyone with a decent job does?

I'm sure we all wish nothing was necessary and the economy was as great as it was when President Clinton left office. But it's not. George Bush & the Republicans dug the biggest hole for us that they possibly could.

We've done the doing nothing "Republican" thing for 7 of the last 8 years. And we can imagine that FDR did nothing but hurt America and it was just a coincidence things got better under his watch.

But I'm fine with trying... remember I'm a YES WE CAN GUY... not a Republicant.
