Crude tumbles on doubts about economic rebound

Now in 2009, guess who woke up, after some 30 years in Office?. Vice President Joe Biden said the Obama administration misread how bad the economy was but stands by its stimulus package and believes the plan will create more jobs as the pace of its spending picks up?. We misread how bad the economy was, but we are now only about 120 days into the recovery package, Biden added. More jobs will be created in coming months, he said. He stands by stimulus package, says jobs will be created in months ahead?. Try paying the Bills without a job right now. The Democrat's stalled as well, and we lost everything. To boot, they refuse to raise up The Federal Poverty Wage Guideline for a Married Couple, without dependents because they grew up, up to at least $68k, are retired and disabled, living on a fixed social security income only, lost everything, and can't get no help from anyone. OH I AM SURE The lazy US Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs is aware of this since Bill Clinton vetoed it in his second term in Office to and still is doing NOTHING.

I am sure Utah will love to hear this. We all know, President Bush and the Republican Congress did little to aggressively deal with a host of domestic challenges, essentially letting things slide until they were forced out of power, leaving the Democrats an economic mess. While we lost in 2008, everything we tried to save, also in investments to, in a blink of a eye, after more then 40 years doing it, even throughout the Bush Administration, and can never get it back, gone for good, nothing to show for it, they act upon this now?. They are the biggest of the big the Citigroups, the Goldman Sachses, the AIGs and other financial behemoths. The Obama administration doesn't want so many around anymore. Financial regulations proposed by the president would result in leaner and simpler institutions that don't carry the weight of the system on their marble columns. Around Washington and Wall Street they have come to be known as TBTF too big to fail.

PC-foolishness and eco-nonsense permeate, unfathomable spending and debt enslave us.

All branches of government have become corrupt.

Pride precedes the fall. Truth and honor are the first casualties.

Every american knows and has known the real truth about our economy yet government keeps trying to manipulate a dead horse to get up and run again.

Nothing is or ever will be the same in America's economy. Our leaders in Washington need to accept that fact and do things to move on instead of trying to patch a failed system. Wall Street, banks, and business are not our economy and are finding that out as they continue to decline trying to control it.

To create jobs in america we need to create manufacturing and self sufficiency and deter and tax all imports to give our economy a chance to recover. Only then will the Phoenix rise out of the ashes of our economy. The old 'business as usual' will die off and a new america can arise.

As for oil, why not put in on a national rationing system and limit what consumers and business can use. Then to strengthen us do not allow any imported oil or the exporting of oil from america. Rationing and fixing prices on oil or gas would accomplish a lot by putting more efforts into alternative energy use and development.
