The Current Situation

"President Obama inherited a terrible mess: a $1.3 trillion deficit, two wars, rising unemployment and unprecedented crises in our banking system. The Obama Administration has worked tirelessly to address our immediate problems of rising unemployment, falling home prices and limping credit markets, while taking a longer view in laying a strong foundation for future economic growth that benefits all Americans. We are fighting for economic recovery on all fronts.

The SolutionGet the economy back on track:

President Obama signed legislation to jumpstart our economy, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, less than a month after his inauguration. The plan will save or create 3.5 million new jobs, make critical investments in our infrastructure and give 95 percent of working Americans a tax cut.

Fight the housing and financial crises:

A new housing program has stabilized the market, preventing more foreclosures and helping millions more re-finance at historically low mortgage rates. The Administration is also moving forward with its plans to get credit flowing again to businesses and families, and to reform our regulatory system so we have a set of 21st century rules to match 21st century financial markets.

Rebuild our economy on a new, sustainable foundation:

By making bold and wise investments in healthcare, energy and education, and restoring fiscal accountability to government spending, we will cut costs for American families and businesses, create good jobs that can’t be shipped overseas, give our children the education they need to be competitive in the global marketplace and leave our grandchildren a legacy they can be proud to inherit."

So what's your plan? No plan? Really? So what are you complaining about? Really?

The accuracy and objectivity of this post are truly remarkable!!!

Sounds like the old story of the dark skinned person attempting to stop the white guy from steeling a car, just when the cops arrived on scene.

Guess which of the white or dark skinned guy was taken straight to the pen???

LOOK!...not a plan in any reply...why no plan? I'll give you one, the GOP's HC plan...cost more, insures less, and gives the HC industry free reign....it's no wonder no one posted that plan.

But wait...it's gone and I know it was there 2 months ago....but it was replaced with this:

"Start Over on Health Care Reform

Preamble

President Obama's initial attempt to seize control of one-sixth of the U.S. economy by nationalizing the American health care system has failed.

But serious issues continue to plague our health insurance system, and they must be addressed.

Now is the time to start over on health insurance reform and do it right."

Now, why start over when THEY (GOP) could have been working on a plan they didn;t have to scrap instead of sitting rotating on their thumbs screaming "NO"!

Why do Republicans hate humans?

Why do statements like the above continue to be flung through the posts? I am a Republican, never hated anyone, not even the person who killed my son.............

And, obviously you do not keep apprised of the facts.......IF you would have watched the 'dog and pony show' "Summit", you would have been astonished to find out the we Republicans DO have a PLAN, and obama knew and acknowledged that he knew of the Republicans' plan.......he and the democrats just never wanted to listen to anything the Republicans had to offer.......i.e. TORT reform (obama is a little queezy on this as his 'buddies' are all trial lawyers), being able to buy insurance across state lines, end pre-existing health conditions ban, (oh, my, I bet you never heard about that, am I right?), just a few.........of course if you would have viewed the Summit you would know this.

Obama's a good guy and a great public speaker, but he does not seem to have the political power to get things moving in the right direction.
The Republican conservatives are just playing political games while the country goes into the toilet. The conservatives need to get their collective heads out of their butts before there is rioting in the streets.

If Republicans had a plan why don't they state what it is and bring it to the table. I watch CSPAN and i've yet to see anything brought up other than that Obama's a socialist and his healthcare plan won't work.

If people would have viewed the Summit, they would have heard some of the Republicans' Plan..............NOT our fault the damocrats hid behind locked doors...........funny, obama read the Republicans' plan, he admitted so, again, if the Summit were viewed by individuals asking where the Republican Plan is, they would have known about the Republican Plan, just like obama knew about it and knew what the Republicans have to offer......

Hmmmmmmmmm I wonder why so many people did not watch the 'dog and pony' show......what
