Wanting to and understanding how the real world (a place where few politicians have had success) actually works are two completely different things. So far his "answer" to creating jobs was to get approval to spend a whole bunch of money we don't have. The best part of that is they can't even get that damn money out there, so about the only jobs they've "created" are the Census jobs - which are rapidly going away.
Everything in life is a balancing act. The liberals on both sides of the aisle (spare me the rhetoric, Republican apologists. Your party is as "big government" as the Dummycrats) have been partying with O.P.P. for far too long. They've blown the balance all out of proportion and Main St. is finally being affected by it.
Will it change? Probably not for at least a generation.
Is that soon enough? Probably not. But there will be morons like Conner and Dave in Norfolk who like to pretend the idiots they follow are actually doing something.
Take a look at England, folks. That's the road we're barreling down.
