I want government out of the way. How do any of these points get government out of the way? Don't they require ever MORE useless, ineffective, costly, burdensome laws and regulations, expanding government interference in the economy? It will be painful, for many, but necessary to temporarily contract the economy by refusing anymore government spending, reducing taxation. Only then can the economy expand in a real sustainable way. Expansion built on debt is not expansion that is sustainable.

I'm 100% in agreement! Debt financing is like the housing bubble and it will eventually burst.

Mr. Rangel, the Constitution has worked for over 200 years. Can you rebuke Mayor Bloomberg for wanting to "reinterpret" the Constitution to suit his agenda?

NYC Mayor Bloomberg needs to be fitted for a straight jacket and escorted to the nearest mental health facility. And Rangel should be jailed for his numerous ethics violations and tax evasion.

in a bad economy, like we have now, it is essential that the govenment create jobs. When people aren't working there is little demand for goods and services and corporations and businesses cannot afford to hire employees if there is no one buying their goods and services. Demand creates jobs. With no demand, there is no jobs. The only entitiy left to create jobs is the govenment. Government can and should create public works and infrastructure jobs now! Why are Republicans fighting economic recovery?

PART II

The federal government has placed too high regualtions on the private sector that they cannot afford to hire people. 0bamacare is PRIME EXAMPLE of that fact.

WHY are liberal democrats hell bent on destroying the private sector? WHY are they hell bent on pilfering from The Peoples wallets?

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness is not guaranteed. Your pursuit of it is your right, but looting the producers in order to achieve that goal is appalling.

The federal government is absolutely not responsible for creating jobs. The federal governments responsibility is to PROMOTE the general welfare of The People, not to PROVIDE it.

When the federal government creates jobs, they are federal jobs. Our country runs on the private sector. Our own federal government is actually hindering the private sector with regulations.

Stating that the only entity left to create jobs is the federal government is EXACTLY what they would want from citizens when THAT is the goal.

Thomas Jefferson said A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government. Do we have that today? I think not.
