		<description>Bringing manufacturing back home to the USA is going to end up being not only a key to restoring our economy, but to maintaining our security as well.
 
We need to keep our national defense strong. Our national defense must still be our 1st priority. Efficient, non-corrupt defense spending is critical.
 
While our politicians have been bickering for years like idiotic babies, China has been crushing the USA in a war that we don&#039;t even know we&#039;re in without even firing a shot.
 
And just check out the Chinese extreme pollution issues - We all live in the same world, but not every country plays by the same rules.</description>

		<description>The ONLY REAL FIX is to Raise Revenue, by Bringing Back Jobs to US Citizens who Pay Income Tax.
 
Massive cutting just puts more people on unemployment, which just depresses the economy even further.
 
Returning private sector jobs to American Citizens will provide income tax revenue to OUR Government versus our government having to pay unemployment benefits to those who would be jobless instead. We need our elected officials to Start Protecting American Jobs and do whatever it takes to bring back the jobs they let go. We need leaders who will actually stand up for the American people.
 
The bottom line is that “Our Government” has to protect domestic industry and the jobs that those industries provide. If they do that, the rest will take care of itself.
 
We may have to pay a bit more for products made here in the USA by US citizens, but at least we&#039;ll still have jobs and a future for our children.</description>

		<description>Wouldn&#039;t it be More Productive if Our Elected Leaders Started Working Together as AMERICANS for AMERICANS and AMERICA, instead of just bickering, stalling and posturing for the next election as democrats and republicans! The American People have had it with this unproductive BS! The way that both parties having been operating for years just stinks! Neither party has really been looking out for the best interests of the US Citizens who elect them and who they&#039;re supposed to represent.
 
Both parties have sold out the bulk of the American citizens, who they&#039;re supposed to represent, by allowing the &quot;out-sourcing&quot; floodgates to open wider and wider without taking any sensible measures to stem the tide.
 
It shouldn&#039;t be all about Democrats or Republicans! It should be about Americans, especially our elected officials, doing the right thing for our country and its citizens. All the single-minded, left versus right, ideological one dimensional bull has got to go!
 
Both parties need to start working together and actually start doing something to fix the real problems in our country like &quot;out-sourcing&quot;, illegal immigration, the out of control costs of health care insurance and our reliance on foreign fuel. If they don&#039;t start working together and actually start making progress by the next election, then American citizens should run a nation-wide campaign to vote out all incumbents regardless of party to send the message.</description>

		<description>Seniors: I think you will remember those dastardly rich people took a tax increase. And some taxes &quot;expired.&quot; Interesting. I am now paying 2% more in taxes but I am going to be happy because it is not really a tax increase but  an expired tax. It died but was resurrected. I got it now. The Prez had an early choice...taxes or close the loopholes. You probably remember he did not want to go the loopholes route...he wanted the cash. Now he wants the loopholes. Sorry, you only get so many choices. Have to make the right ones. Anyway, how much does this Prez need? Seen any figures yet? Did not think so.</description>

		<description>He got his taxes earlier
-------------------------
No, some of the Bush tax cuts simply expired.
Let&#039;s close those tax loopholes before we consider making cuts to Medicare and Social Security.</description>

		<description>BENEN: So, how much does this Monocrat need? Have you ever seen a dollar amount as to what he wants? Have not seen a budget from him lately and certainly have not seen one from Ol Prince Harry. What&#039;s the game plan? Just keep giving until I tell you I don&#039;t want anymore? He got his taxes earlier and was not satisfied. Another miscalculation? Anyway, maybe you can help us out with what the Dems want...seems a little ambiguous at this point.</description>

		<description>This Monocrat Prez is the one who was silly enough to get himself in this mess. Now, Armageddon over a few measly dollars. What a leader. Inflict as much pain as possible just to prove a point rather than using flexibility in making cuts that would not matter in the least. No folks, here&#039;s the real message from the Prez....mentioned it today. He is searching for another scapegoat to cover for this sorry economy.  Yep, these measly $85 bil (not really that much) will be the cause for a faltering economy. I know. I know. It&#039;s coming. You can count on it. In the meantime, Bob Woodward, since you have ticked off the WH for reporting the truth, you deserve our congratulations. Keep up the good investigative reporting. Not going to get it elsewhere.</description>
