Many Democrats already know their elected representatives within the Democratic Party have clearly set their own agendas over the members of the Democratic Party, our Nation, and the American people. Overall, many of them no longer think of themselves as being our elected representatives, and now refer to themselves as leaders in the true form of tyrants.

Most Democrats already know their pleas to their elected representatives within the Democratic Party are only being answered by repeated insult and injury. Despite this, we as Democrats can restore control of the Democratic Party back to the party members. All we need to do is cut off donations to the local, state, and national headquarters of the Democratic Party, and to make sure the donations are made directly to worthy and honorable Democratic Party candidates.

When you let Democrats control the government they raise taxes and people and businesses leave. In this case Nevada, Arizona, and Texas have done very well with their attractive tax rates and pro-business rules.

It’s no surprise that the three states in the nation that are worst off are California, Michigan, and New York… all dominated in the legislature by Democrats.

Here in California the recession is so far from over. The top state income tax rate is 11% and they have managed to find a way to tax pretty much anything you can think of. Just paid $900 dollars to register my Subaru Outback in this money sucking state, you’d think I was driving a top of the line Mercedes for that high of a registration fee.

The fact that they have managed to drive people out of a state where most people would want to live is a true testament to the notion that government needs to back off. If what they’ve done at a state level (and the California legislators seem to have a lot of clout in Congress) happens at a national level we’re all in big trouble.

Without further government intervention the economy might turn around faster.

Gold prices have risen considerably and so have notable commodities like oil since they are all a hedge against inflation.
It’s very possible that we can get 2 quarters of economic growth (end of a recession) with little job growth.

That’s because recessions/depressions are not defined by unemployment.

It just boggles my mind for any economist to proclaim the recession is over with a real unemployment rate of 17%..It verifies to me that our leaders, business and political have lost touch with what truly drives the economy and the stability of this country…The Average American worker..
