"We are nearly at the end of our coping mechanisms..Globalization and automation undermined mindless work..We deregulated and privatized according to the myth of tricikle down.. TARP was another example of trickle down that didn't.. Consumers don't have money.. Demand problems cannot be solved with supply policy..The top 2% don't need a continuance of the Bush tax cuts.. Wall Street should help distressed homeowners and small business.. From 1947-73, the economy was working for everyone.."
