Ronald Reagan would be so proud.  Today’s Democrats are doing such a wonderful job of implementing his policies.  Never thought I’d live to see the day when a Democrat job-plan consisted almost entirely of giving tax breaks to big business.

More people should have been listening when back during the primaries Obama said his favorite President was Ronald Reagan.  He wasn’t kidding.

War has become a dangerously large portion of our economy, working as a job-producing machine which provides “work” to tens of thousands of men and women, killing other people when they might otherwise be unemployed. This is the horrible truth about our present economic predicament.

To change it will require Republican cooperation in order to permit establishment of “peacetime” jobs in the form of infrastructure reconstruction, home building, energy conservation, wind and solar deveopment etc. etc. There are plenty of possibilities, but without Republican cooperation the Dems can’t do it alone.  Short of tremendous public pressure, that is. 

If Republicans refuse cooperation simply because they wish to “defeat Obama” they should be called out and massively shamed.  Yet the “mass” of “massive” is asleep at nearly all the political switches.  It is as though we were all watching a tragedy on stage, waiting for Act V while chewing on an orange, as in the old days of “merrie England.”  Yet our situation is much more open to popular influence than theirs!
