Фишка Тут Не Задерживается

Обама продолжает отгружать нам мысли.

Сначала, на вопрос корреспондента, - не чувствует ли он, что Нетаниягу давит на него, чтобы он изменил свою внешнюю политику, он сообщил, что его беспопкоит безопасность Америки, а шум он блокирует

> займет почетное место рядом с "you didn't build that".

Великая фраза !
Прочитав пост http://karial.livejournal.com/286838.html , и вспомнив недавние дискуссии в ЖЖ , подумал, что Обама, scholar_vit и yucca сказали бы об этой гимнастке-инвалиде:
"она не сама этого добилась, she didn't build that ! Она добилась лишь благодаря Правительству и Дем.Партии и построенной ими инфраструктуре, и еще помощи такого-то и сякого-то которой у других не было !"

Любопытый разбор программ Обамы и Ромни:

something important being debated in this election: What hope is there for the average American worker?
. . .
We live in a world of global competition now, where even white-collar jobs can be outsourced to India. If the jobs can't be exported, then the workers are imported, via legal or illegal immigration.

What -- if anything -- should be done? Barack Obama and Mitt Romney each have answers, although you have to listen carefully to reconstruct them.

Here (as I read it) is President Obama's answer. (These are my words, except for the speech quote.)

Purely free markets won't be generating wage increases any time soon. There's just too much low-wage competition out there. But we can do two things. As I outlined in my November 2011 speech in Osawatomie, Kansas, we can put more people to work in jobs funded by government contracts, where government can ensure high wages and benefits.

Yes, business, and not government, will always be the primary generator of good jobs with incomes that lift people into the middle class and keep them there. But as a nation, we've always come together, through our government, to help create the conditions where both workers and businesses can succeed."

Government contractors can't employ everybody, however. So we'll plump up the low wages of those in the purely private economy with a growing array of wage supplements. . . .

Mitt Romney has called the president's vision a "government-centric" one - and that seems exactly right.
Here's the Romney alternative (again these are my words, not his):

I probably can't deliver rising wages for the typical worker any better than the president can. That's why I hardly talk about wages at all . . .

Instead of greater subsidies for those content to stay where they are, I offer lower taxes to those who want to better their condition. Their hard work and innovation will yield benefits for everyone.

OK, maybe money wages haven't risen much since 1973 for the typical worker. But today that worker has a safer car, a bigger house, and smarter appliances. He or she enjoys products and services unimagined in 1973: personal computers, cellphones, video on demand. Food, furniture, and vacations are all cheaper and better. You can choose Coke with zero calories, and you don't have to line up at the DMV to renew your license plates. All these improvements were brought to you by people who got rich along the way -- and so will the next wave of improvements after that. The president's call for higher taxes on the rich will only stifle and slow consumer progress
