The left has been trying that bottom-up thing since at least Johnsons great society and its failed miserably. Longer than that. Try the "New Deal" programs by FDR. "Pump-priming" economics does NOT work. It didn't work in the 1930s, it won't work now. All it did then was exacerbate the Great Depression. How much worse and how much longer will this current crisis get with FDR/LBJ/BHO economics?

Bottom up? How naive. It defies logic.
The man child will do or say anything necessary to get elected. The “chosen one” and the sycophants who worship him in the press corps, threw their principles to the wind a long time ago. He speaks in the code words of socialism. Saul Alinsky would be proud.

Give it to him, bottom feeders know about the bottom.

He wants to fix the economy from the ground up...but doesn’t want to do that to the mortgage loan problems in the bailout plan.
Oh yeah Obama....you’re full of you know what.

It's a clear indication Obama has no idea how economics really works.
People invest capital in a business and hire workers and buy equipment. The capitalists work hard to sell their products or services and, if successful, employees share in that success.
You can't build a capitalist economy from the bottom up because those at the bottom have no capital to start the process unless they are given the capital of those who had it to begin with (communist redistribution of wealth).

***Theyll stimulate the economy by buying cigs, beer & crack.***
Yep, that’s what the “bottom up” will be buying. But when there’s no money in the U.S. treasury because all the “trickle-down” firms are taxed out of business, the “bottom uppers” will be living in even more abject poverty then they are presently. Hey, Obama, that’s called SOCIALISM.

Right!
Bottom up is SOCIALISM/COMMUNISM. The tall, but small, Obama has just changed the names.

Education does need to start at the bottom... from conception on but leadership does not belong to the bottom. Moreover, if one just hands out more money to a wino on the street, he will most likely still be a wino with even more wine in his gut but if one mentors,works on heart changes, retrain on how to problem solve,provide job opportunities from companies at the top etc...he may have a chance. Throwing more money at a bad situation only gives people in the bad situation more money with which to make mistakes with.

Yes, it was! Good thinking. And that’s what has put us where we are today.

Hey, as the email that is circulating throughout the US points out, we need to have wealth distribution. If the federal government has money to bail out German and Chinese banks and AIG, Fannie and Freddie et al, how about requiring them to spend the same amount, $85 billion, to bail out US families.
Each person over 18 would get about $425,000, and would pay $127,500 in tax on it, netting the Treasury a partial payback immediately. With the remaining $297,500 ($595,000 per couple), people could pay off their mortgages, student loans, car loans, medical bills and we might even have money to put in savings, providing capital for those small business owners. The lady who posted this calls it the We Deserve It Dividend. I am totally in favor of redistributing the federal government’s income which it takes from us by threat. We could do so much with our money and certainly wouldn’t have to bail out the nation’s banks if we able to manage it ourselves.

Actually, DumbObama doesn't want to "build" anything. His bottom up comment was his way of saying that he wants to GIVE our tax dollars to the "poor", to buy votes and to try and socialize the United States.
We've all heard the phrase that "socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried", and that is true. Our forefathers left Europe because of oppressive, socialistic, governments. Even today, Europe is in sad shape, thanks in no small part to socialism.
Whereas, America has - at least until the past 50 years - thrived and prospered as a free nation, based on capitalism and a free market.
Now, the Oblammo team (and libs in general) want to take us back 400 years, and enter into a state of serfdom, solely for the sake of power.
The only people who are happy in a socialist world are the "leaders"; the only people who make a profit in a socialist world, are the "leaders".
Looking around at all professed liberals, I would say the liberal party is the haven for kooks, radicals, and the self-hating people who never had a date in high school. Much of what they do - like demonstrations - is not for a cause...moreover, the "cause" is a reason to demonstrate to get attention. Seldom do they muster a good crowd to demonstrations that have no TV cameras in the vacinity.
Like their cult hero of the moment - zerObama - they are all very thin-skinned and defensive. Their "hate meter" goes from 0-100 in .02 nanoseconds at the slightest provocation.
Liberals are like the guy on the highway who is obessed with passing the line of cars, just to be number 1...and then slows down to 35 mph. Hey, it's a mini-ego trip to them, and it gives them the "power" to slow everyone else to a crawl.
These people have succeeded in using things like race and the environment to gain the "power" to control the lives and livlihood of the rest of us. It's time for the penduleum to swing the other way for a while.

Casino politics.
How many trillions of dollars have been spent on poverty, social programs, nationalization and rescue monies for overdrawn budgets?
Do we even know anymore? FDR, LBJ, BJC, and now this.
It must be in the trillions. We have spent the national wealth, relying on our people and technology to make enough to cover the bets.
The problem is that casino politics, like all betting, only favors the house. You don’t go to Vegas without enough money that you can afford to lose because ‘Vinny’ is waiting to collect.
America needs a Vinny. Oh wait. He’s at the door.
