Reply #3: The Clinton model was working

[ToppleTheTeaParty]

Dems need to come up with a platform, and back it with figures and not just talk to:

1) Create a jobs plan & get economy rolling/ GDP Growth
2) Small biz incentive plan
3) Raise taxes on rich & large corps
4) Offshore oil platform safety
5) Increased R&D in solar, wind, water & batteries
6) A national/ business shared coast-to-coast high speed train
7) Reduce the yearly defecit (sp?) to bring it back to Clinton years ($1 over budget target)

There's no reason to try cutting the debt when we're in a deep recession. I think Reaganomics taught us that little fact. Unfortunately, once the economy recovered they (Reagan/ Bush) forgot to start paying down the debt.

Clinton/Gore were able to create more jobs as well as cut debt. Did more than Reagan/Bush when you research the economic data. I was there. Except for the Internet bubble things were going very well. Look at the Fed figures & GDP, we were ahead of China for Christ's sake. Now we're a few years from being #2 in the world.

The advisors to Obama can't hold a candle to the Clinton team. But that's where the gold lies, and perhaps they'll find Reich/Rubin & a few of the other math nerds to come up with a plan.

DUMP TIM GEITHNER. He is political poison!! Do it before the midterms. Only Wall Street likes that toad. WTH are they keeping him on for? My dog could do a better job with the economy than he does.
