A good question. But the answer is going to upset a lot of people.
As the United States languishes in sluggish economic "growth" of roughly a rip-roaring one percent each quarter this year, unemployment is at 9.1% and a mountain of debt that can make the United States a Weimar Germany, here is the answer.
The economy will not improve until there is a change in leadership at one 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D. C.
In other words, we will have to ride it out until the Dear Leader, President Obama, is defeated by the Republican on November 6, 2012.
While the Dear Leader, President Obama, is trying to throw a Hail Mary with the so-called "jobs speech" just concluded, The Other McCain sums it up very accurately here.
The Republican House is not going to pass this proposed legislation just because the Dear Leader, President Obama, comes to Capitol Hill and snaps his fingers and says just do it!
The reality is that the Dear Leader, President Obama, is asking for about $450,000,000,000 to continue to tinker with the economy. Somehow, we are to believe that this will be "revenue neutral" when there is nothing to suggest that somewhere, somehow, there will NOT be a tax hike of some kind. The real Dream of The Dear Leader. To tell his base 'See, I raised taxes on the eeeeevvvvviiilllll rich!'.
The fact is that the so-called economic stimulus plan passed shortly after he became president was supposed to do the trick. It was supposed to keep unemployment from surpassing eight percent.
Oops! My bad!
I guess 9.1% is the new math.
But the fact is that from day one, the Dear Leader, President Obama, has wanted to remake the United States into Leftytopia.
Socialized medicine. Increased unionization. Tax hikes. Regulation. Pushing the "green" economy. The list goes on.
But the reality is that the market, the free market, has said resoundingly no, no, no.
But that will not stop the American left.
For this is the last gasp for a while, I am afraid, for them.
The American people in the last presidential race were smitten by a dude that whispered sweet nothings. He was focused on great speechery and kept the issues down to about three.
And yet, over two and a half years later, the United States is worse off economically.
It is playing like a second fiddle to the rest of the world.
The United States should be leading but, alas, it is not doing anything that would signal confidence in leadership.
Which is the point.
Leadership needs to change.
The Republicans need to not get caught up in letting the Obamawhore media and other allies of this White House set the agenda.
The Republicans, no matter who emerges as the nominee, needs to focus on the abyss that has become the American economy. And be on offense on any issue including the so-called social issues. Which in Leftytopia are only same-sex marriage and abortion.
When will the economy improve, I ask?
When the Dear Leader, President Obama, is retired to the private sector he so loathes on November 6, 2012.
