Unemployment Rate Headed ... UP!?!? Hmmmmm. What Do You Suppose That Implies About Dems' Belief That We Can Spend Our Way To Economic Health?

Unemployment Rate is now 9.2%. "Dismal Jobs Report" per MSNBC.

At some point, Democrats need to fess up that federal spending and printing money like crazy DOES NOT WORK. But they won't. They'll blame it on something else. It certainly cannot be due to this administration's economic policies.

We cannot try something else though can we? Like lowering taxes, especially for businesses, and eliminating regulations that impede small businesses' success. Why? Because it goes against the grain of progressives who NEED government to get bigger and more controlling which means bigger taxes, not smaller; more regulation, not less. After all, by definition, citizens and small business owners are too incompetent to take care of themselves and their own business(es) so government needs to unilaterally and heavy-handedly take it upon itself to do it for them! Nanny state is the correct state of things y'know. (Sounds like socialism to me.)

Never mind that when the biggest percentage of the Bush tax cuts kicked in on May 28, 2003 the economy IMMEDIATELY AND SHARPLY turned around and then continued getting better steadily. Remember that unemployment reached 4.4% after the Bush tax cuts? Remember that federal revenue reached a record level of $2.5 Trillion after the Bush tax cuts? Inconvenient facts for most Democrats, especially progressives.

Mr. President, we tried it your way. For 2 1/2 years!!! (Compare with one month after Bush's big tax cuts!) It's proved itself ineffective hasn't it? How about we try something that in 2003 we proved DOES WORK? Hmmmmmm?

Nope! Not gonna do THAT in spite of proving(!) it does work because that goes against liberal beliefs. Nothing should stand in the way of their agenda even if it leads to ruining our economy by sticking to those beliefs.
