It surprises me that people actually think that providing minimum wage jobs to those who previously made good money is a wonderful thing. No one, aside from a single teenager living at home or someone living in a country where the cost of living is low (say Mexico where a lot of our dollars and jobs are ending up), can make ends meet on minimum wage no matter how much you try to stretch your dollars. I don't hold a lot of stock in polls or employment figures either. Those don't take into account people who cannot collect unemployment and those who have expired their benefits. There are thousands! I was surprised to learn that some companies are exempt from paying into the unemployment fund. Non-profits being one of them. The others are small companies with few full-time employees.
But, unless people become more concerned about the issues here at home and less enthralled by Iraq and terrorism, Bush may end up keeping his job. It's a sad and frightening reality. bin Laden would love for that to happen. It would give him all the more reason to attack us. A lot of people seem to have lost their concern about the poor, our school systems, our states drowning in debt and other issues affecting the "human factor" and have instead replaced those concerns with concern over terrorism. The terrorists have achieved their objective - to create an America that is no longer as free as it once was and one that has its people living in fear. It's too bad that we've let it come to that. We definitely aren't the same people who fought so hard for our freedom during the Revolutionary War and then wrote the Constitution to protect those freedoms. Compassion has been replaced with hatred. Never is that a good thing. I hate the terrorists, too, but I have more compassion for my fellow man than I have hate for the terrorists. It is so much easier for most people to hate those who hate us than it is to have compassion for the suffering here at home.

We have done this to ourselves and it started long before this President came into office...

You would take what actions to solve this problem?

The first step will be at the polls this Fall.
The next step is to return to International Trade instead of Globalism which was started by the first stupid Bush president.

And you think voted a different man in office is going to bring back big paying factory jobs......you better wake up and see what time it is. No man in the oval office is going to paint the picture your wanting to see.

The economy is good. And the economy is bad. It's uncertain how it's going to be and the public is split depending on what kind of job situation they are presently in.
There is an article at USA Today that discusses how it may affect the election and there is a link "A tale of two economies" that explains the good and bad about the economy.

I have a solution, get the hell out of oil depency as much as possible and start concentrating on alternitive energy products.
Have North America and not just USA but all of North America get into making everything dealing with the alternative energy market..
europe and Japan have already started, let us over here be the makers of every possible widget that deals with alternative energy, from batteries, to wind mills, to solar to natural fuels, whatever it takes just to get away from being dependant on oil, and it can be done, if we put our taxes to this...it can be done...
Imagine the manufacturing jobs in this field, and make a market place first here and sell it abroad later, it can be done....
also i would say look at hemp products....another product that will put people to work....
the problem today is corporate world wants control on everything and kills any chance for positive growth....because of greed

Skylight... the only problem with your idea is that while developemment, sales and marketing would be done here, the only way these products will be affordable and therefore successful is if... you guessed it.... they are manuafactered outside our borders. Solar is already a viable attainable alternative however it so cost prohibitive that the number of home owners actually utilizing it is miniscule.

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

MAH645 & tex1, One thing for sure we don't stick with the same old Bush. The Bush family has been so entrenched with mid eastern oil for generations that voting for Bush is like voting for a Saudi Prince. Yes we need ALL NEW PEOPLE at the White House. "you better wake up and see what time it is." before it all goes down the drain.
THE REPUBLICANS ARE SHAKING IN THEIR COWBOY BOOTS.
