A few problems...

This is actually a decent list... but unfortunately neither party will deliver anything on it.

There are a few problems, for one example, what do you mean by "We will create jobs that stay in America"?? It's not the governments purpose to create jobs! It should instead focus create the conditions necessary for us to create our own jobs. Great government leaders can also inspire us to do better and not just do the same job every day.

And what jobs do we want to stay in America? All of them?? No, instead we should focus on creating new and better jobs, while happily letting the old ones gradually move to other countries. How about really embracing *change*?? Let's focus on education and new skills, rather than desperately clinging to the same jobs forever.

Words to live by

...We've gone from first to twelfth in world wages. We've had four years where we have produced no private sector jobs. Most people are working harder for less money than they were making ten years ago.

It is because we are in the grip of a failed economic theory. And this decision you are about to make better be about what kind of economic theory you want, not just people saying I'm going to go fix it but what are we going to do? I think what we have to do is invest in American jobs, American education, control American health care costs, and bring the American people together again.


— Democratic Candidate (later President) Bill Clinton
