Address in a few weeks.

The US Treasury has bailed out the financial institutions twice now, under both Bushes.

The 2009 Stimulus was not enough. We need our second bailout only; big enough this time.

The true test is coming: Austerity or an appropriate stimulus. Which one will the President project. The GOP projects austerity even though they know it will bring the working 90%, further down.

Printing money: American cannot get the hoarders out of the Cayman Islands. That money is not coming back.

Is America in a decline? I will be watching the voting record of Democratic lawmakers. And listening to the speech of the President very carefully.
