The Economy

Lately, President Obama walked away from a White House job forum stating he now had many "exciting ideas and proposals" for rectifying the large unemployment rate, now over 10%. The GOP is running its own alternative job forum, accusing Democrats of pursuing "Job Killing" legislation in health care and climate control that counteracts the economic issue.

I for one cannot see how such a viewpoint stands. Yes, sometimes a step foward in direction means a step backwards in another, but the way I see it, issues like health care and climate control cannot just be ignored. The state of so many things is like your teeth: You have to brush them every day or you'll get cavities, and in the long run devoting a little bit of time for preventative measures will be more effective than a root canal later in life, which costs a lot of money to get fixed and hurts very much.
