Instead of bashing what s the solution? Why d folks in this forum assign blame to a recession? Factors are more complicated that who is in office.

I think they (the past administration and the current) vastly underestimated the depth of the recession. It is a global recession.
We didn't spend enough or was appropriated without stipulations. For example Perry and the Texas legislature used the funds that he didn't want to pay off the state debt. Wasn't he the one hemming and hawing about not taking the money, then changed his mind?

Business needs to invest in America. Middle class spending is the catalyst to growth. Growth is limited when folks live from paycheck to paycheck. If your children have a job ask them when they last had a raise. Wages are stagnant. Some things need to be done on a federal level like building dams, repairing infrastructure, national security, etc..

I prefer this quote :My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." Great movie, especially the music.
