The fact is, the United States economy has been stuck in a rut for a year and a half. Yet a destructive passivity has overtaken our discourse. Turn on your TV and you’ll see some self-satisfied pundit declaring that nothing much can be done about the economy’s short-run problems (reminder: this “short run” is now in its fourth year), that we should focus on the long run instead. This gets things exactly wrong. The truth is that creating jobs in a depressed economy is something government could and should be doing. Yes, there are huge political obstacles to action — notably, the fact that the House is controlled by a party that benefits from the economy’s weakness. But political gridlock should not be conflated with economic reality. Our failure to create jobs is a choice, not a necessity — a choice rationalized by an ever-shifting set of excuses. No, We Can’t?

Unemployment soared during the financial crisis and its aftermath. So it seems bizarre to argue that the real problem lies with the workers — that the millions of Americans who were working four years ago but aren’t working now somehow lack the skills the economy needs. Yet that’s what you hear from many pundits these days: high unemployment is “structural,” they say, and requires long-term solutions (which means, in practice, doing nothing). "It’s the workers’ fault." is class warfare propaganda. Von Mises associates any Government involvement in markets as "Socialism" , to mislead people into thinking Government is the enemy , when infact empire is the enemy and empire is Privatized. lucysmom  posted on  2011-07-11   11:40:18 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #2.

We have never had businesses as de-regulated and under taxed as we do now - not in any of our life times and the economy hit a great depression/recession. And you kooks are still advocating for the proven failed ideology from the Reagan years of trickle down? It never worked you filthy morons.

Europe is not communist and the way you use the term I don't think you know what communism is. And you can refute the obvious fact this ideology that blames the lack of "deregulated" business environment as the reason for America's failed system is proven false since they are as deregulated and de-taxed as they have ever been in our life times or parent's lifetimes or grandparent's life times.
