The Economists are Spreading

a bunch of horseshit about a "recovery," but it simply isn't true for people out in the real world.

Something needs to be done--NOW--to help the millions of people who are suffering:

The president and Congress lately have been consumed by the much-needed legislation to overhaul the nation’s health care system, and although that legislation is important, more attention must be devoted to repairing the economy.

Because of the severity of the economic downturn, Congress should consider a broad view of options. Robert Reich, the labor secretary under President Bill Clinton, told The New York Times’ Bob Herbert he would consider tax incentives for small businesses that create new jobs. He was careful to add that the incentives should not reward companies for employing people they would have hired anyway.

Other experts are proposing greater federal aid to states to help them pump money into highway construction and other infrastructure projects.

Those ideas are just two examples of what needs to be on the table. No matter what it does, Washington needs to move speedily to find ways to stimulate the economy and create more jobs.

And California meanwhile continues to bleed jobs.
