Well-written

Obama actually has come closest out of the Democrats in figuring out some of what we might all be upset about. The economy is terrible, the deficit is way too high, and one in ten Americans wants a job but doesn’t have one. Obama has tried already to fix the economy by increasing the deficit, creating revolving door jobs in specialized fields and tax-paid government offices, and punishing businesses and banks. But for some reason it isn’t working.
The economy is just one more area where Obama has promised and tried to deliver one thing and ended up doing the opposite. Obama had taken a break from the economy, perhaps out of frustration, to work on Health Reform. He worked very hard on a bill to make healthcare costs go down, expand availability, punish evil insurance companies, and bring open and honest government back to Washington. Instead, he ended up with a bill that raises healthcare costs, forces all Americans to buy from the evil insurance companies, leaves nearly 25 million still uninsured, and has been crafted behind closed doors by lobbyists and special interest groups. The good news is that the bill was defeated. The bad news is that Obama and his party are back to trying to “fix” the economy.
Obama’s new plan to fix the economy includes tougher regulations on banks who are already freezing lending, higher taxes and mandates on businesses who are already freezing hiring, and a mix of tax breaks for childcare and college loans. Unfortunately, working parents and recent college grads don’t hire people.
