tell me again how the stimulus 'worked'. we had four quarters of mild growth, but the money's spent, the latest jobs report sucked(as have the last few), and unemployment is projected to go right back to where it was. if not higher. now, in my mind, a stimulus working wouldn't have results we're seeing. a temporary jump in the right direction, followed by going right back to where we were, is not a fix at all. a bandaid to stop a hemorrhage perhaps. but the patient continues to bleed out anyway.

I am a broken record but every outsourced job and job filled by H1B holder is purchasing power lost which means less money pumped into our economy... This is a game of musical chairs. What is the solution ? I don't know something dramatic like a Put America back to work Tax on each and every job given to an H1B or done outside of the US applied directly to the deficit? How about an economic cap and trade where we are only allowed to purchase from Foriegn countries an amount that they purchase from us.. Protectionism??? We ****ing need it because Big Business certainly won't do what is in the best interest of the country..
