What is the best way to improve the economy? The Obama method of government spending to create jobs that go away when the money runs out or the free market system of creating wealth that creates sustainable jobs?

Short of shooting the statists who run this country, getting the hell out of the way and letting the market fix itself is the best way. Cut the frigging taxes.

Ditto Edward. Send them home along with their anchor babies. That will give us jobs, fix our education system, put americans to work who PAY TAXES, get rid of 90 percent of welfare and food stamps, empty our prisons, stop most of our crime, heal our hospitals and reduce the carbon footprint that America now has because of the added millions and millions of other nations. Cut them off and cut off the baby makers who have them for more welfare and foodstamps. ADIOS AMIGO!!!!!!!!

Send illegal immigrants home. Lower restrictions on industry. Get the corruption out of our government. Get rid of useless and expensive government agencies. Repeal stupid laws that help monopolies and hurt startup and small businesses. Change the taxes to a consumption tax. Leave the citizens alone to do their thing.

Cut taxes. Give incentives to small business. Cut government regulations and cut the size of the federal bureaucracy by 50%.

That's a good start. The ultimate target would be cutting it by about 90%, but we have to learn to crawl before we walk.

The Reagan way was worked after the terrible J Carter recession and those policies could work again. The only person that outlines this plan is Sarah Palin in her speeches and book.
While we continue the Obama Depression with high unemployment for the next three years, Palin will be talking about regaining prosperity and jobs. With this to look forward to for the next three years, who do you think will be our President in 2012?

This is a no brainer. Anyone who cannot understand this most basic principle of free market economics has no business running the country.

Job losses did not start Jan. 20, 2009
The U.S. economy lost 524,000 jobs in December, closing out the worst year for job losses since World War II, the Labor Department said Friday.

Nearly 2.6 million jobs were lost in 2008, with 1.9 million destroyed in just the past four months, according to a survey of work places. It's the biggest job loss in any calendar year since 1945, when 2.75 million jobs were lost as the wartime economy was demobilized.

recessions happen. Natural cycle. Government spending crowds out private investment, thus prolonging the natural cycle of a recession. Doing nothing works. Tax cuts spurs investment that works even faster. Government spending is a problem.

Where does this blind faith that the government can improve the economy come from? Point to an example in history where what Obama is currently doing has ever worked? I can show you where it has sustained an 8 year Great Depression, a decade long "lost decade" in 1990's Japan, or Stagflation of Jimmy Carter's term, but no examples of success in Keynesian economics.
