“Romer said, calling the 8.9% unemployment rate “an absolute crisis.””

I wonder what she calls the real unemployment rate?

How about hands off my economy? How about end the welfare state?

So blaming Bush is no longer an effective excuse?

“And while some of the “action” Romer proposes -more spending and $ printing- is surely not the answer”

This woman is a tool. Typical Obama appointee. The criticism from these losers is never that he is too liberal but that he needs to do more harm.

Small independent businesses are shuttering their windows all over the place by me. Gift shops, beauty shops, privately owned restaurants in particular.....going, going, gone. Only the bigger-business chains and fast food joints (and the Dollar stores) are packin' em in. Other little-guy entrepeneurs are just hanging in there, offering big discounts in desperate attempts just to get folks into the door and to stay alive.

Folks, patronize your local business people. Lots of bigger places like department stores are corporations owned by foreign interests. Don't buy anything with "China" marked on the bottom. Eat at your local family restaurant. You get my drift.

We're all in this together.
