Okay, Let’s agree not to continue to Blame Jr.

But let’s also recognize that Reaganites blamed Carter. While the truth is that Regan instructed P. Volker to raise interest rates that lead to a horrible recession. This was a purposeful recession. Not one by accident.

Will you recognize that there were 2 recessions under Reagan. There were 2 housing bubble bursts under Reagan.

There was the single greatest one day stock market loss under Reagan.

Let’s also agree that the Bushites blamed Clinton for the 2002 recession..

There where 2 recessions under Bush. A war declared by Pope Paul as a unjustified war. A war neglected in Afghanistan.

Will you recognize that the current year deficit is a result of the last Bush budget?

Will we agree that even republican leaders have dismal records. If that happens to be the perspective you choose.

Let’s agree that that is a defeatist perspective. Let’s agree to question. But recognize that there must be compromise.

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

Since the spring low. Over 480 of the S and P 500 have gained value. Almost 200 have doubled and about 40 have tripled. Will you recognize that?

Will you recognize that the rate of job loss has declined over the past months.

You have to like those number If you’re a wall street guy.

I personally don’t care about those numbers. I want higher CD, Treasury bill and savings account interest rates. I am not a gambler. In general what is good for wall street is bad for my savings account.

But I respect the fact that current economic conditions mean that a focus must be put on wall street. (because so many now rely on it for their retirement) And in the end improvement in Wall Street will help me and my family.

My concern is that these solutions must include stronger enforcement of current regulations and new regulations that favor home grown industry. And American companies over the multinational corporations.

Companies so poorly managed that they must use taxpayer money to survive. Should be nationalized. Reinvigorated and then sold for profit.

And we must realize poorly managed companies cause their own problems. The problems are not the fault of the taxpayer, the government.

Can we agree to recognize Government is necessary. It isn’t the bad guy. It is the taxpayer.

Government isn’t Republican. It isn’t democrat. It is the will of the people. (supposed to be anyway).

Lois’s column today points out that even in this verrrrrrrrry conservative republican area. Government officials concern themselves with the wealthy and the influential. Not the electorate.

Can we agree that if we don’t effect change in our own back yards. Change will never come to the nation.
