Good point. If the Stimulus, increased gov't spending, more UE benefits and food stamps are supposed to be so good for demand, where's the fucking economic growth?
China, India, etc.
We are a consumer nation not a manufacturing based one.
We used to be and could be again. Get rid of the WTO and go back to bi lateral trade agreements that used to serve us so well. Of course we would have to reign in the multinational corporations but the US market is so large no one will turn their back on it. Not China, not Mobile Exxon.;
Cannot do it, our govt is controlled by the too big to fail multinational corpses. And no that is not a misspelling, just a forwarning.
