Sounds like PBill has been put on a short leash.

        Oh that..well I'm sure some democrats and republicans think that the campaign contributions from their largest corporate supporters where tax increases are concerned or targeted towards the higher brackets and maintaining tax cuts for the lower brackets, you know anyone would think that the only economy they give a damn about is their own.

              So who's paying for all of Romney's overseas trips?

                Isn't Romney campaigning in the wrong countries for American job growth?

                  Yes, the politics aside I thin Bill Clinton would even agree that sitting around meditating on the economy isn't going to solve the problems of the economy or anyone else's personal economic problems and that job skills in your job searches include the skill of being as un-demanding upon job entry as exiting from a job even if you've had ups and downs in this area. There is a lot of competition for employment and people have to bear in mind to remain fair about it. Meditating can help get you employment but it can only start with a job application for employment. Its far too easy to blame the economy for what you read in the news than it is to simply solve that problem yourself. And sometimes it is difficult....even for those on welfare, disability, or other aid programs. Because those people in their search for employment want to come out ahead when they no longer become inelgible for those benefits which is often a considered a limiting barrier to them seeking employment, it has to be more profitable for them than it was when they were recieving their benefits. But that's how you learn to disconnect from the welfare system. I know what's it like to be between jobs and have an even better job lined up than the one I was in.
