That is hilarious!
I had to stop the video when they claimed that the stimulus spending caused unemployment to increase in California.
I mean horse pucky can be fun at times, but this isn't one of those times.
I doesn't say that the stimulus caused increased unemployment. It says that the stimulus was supposed to save jobs and help the economy and california's unemployment rate STILL went up.
SO either the stimulus was money badly spent, or California's government needs an overhaul.
Both are probably true.
Possibly, but one big reason unemployment is high is that for years the US government paid American companies to outsource American jobs overseas.
Another is the near collapse of the US economy in 2008, the umpteenth catastrophic disaster on GW Bush's watch.
What is more likely is that the stimulus failed to quickly reverse the escalating unemployment, possibly for either of the reasons you state or both, or perhaps others.
This is kind of like blaming the firefighters for causing the fire because their fire suppression measures didn't put the fire out quickly enough.
What solutions does Carly offer, and are they any different from the "solutions" we barely survived under Bush?
Oh yeah, because democrat administrations had NOTHING to do with giant real estate bubbles or looking the other way with unregulated securities.
Riiiiight.
I'm no big fan of Carly, but frankly she wasn't in office making these idiotic decisions, so that might be enough.
Our government is like dirty stinky underwear. It could use a change. Incumbents, especially ineffectual ones that don't represent you well after being ensconced in their seats forever should be voted out regardless of party.
On the contrary, I have said many times here on MV that the root cause of the banking collapse was the Bill that allowed banks to get into the financial markets, which was passed when Clinton was president. Of course this was one Clinton policy that Bush was happy to continue because it comes from a conservative philosophy of excessive deregulation. It is that conservative philosophy which is the problem, the attitude that you are so pro-business that business crashes and burns as Enron did and as part of our financial system did while no one was watching the chicken coop.
Both parties have supported this illogical policy ever since Reagan made it popular. If you say that business should do whatever it wants without oversight then you shouldn't be surprised when you get Bernie Madoff and Enron and the rest.
Boxer is not a very good representative for the people of California ... Fiona would be worse.
I'm not sure what is going on with this years election videos .. bizarre.
Meg Whitman (Repubs - Former EBAY CEO) would be also a disaster.
