You may be right and this is the one we knew was coming. Them that claim they understand say this one is not going to go away quite as easily as the one Obama had to deal with.

Also, hopefully, the Dems will mention just who, and what party, is responsible for this one, the last one, the one before that, and the one before that (going back 200 years!) Eventually one would think that the canny American voting public will get the message and stop voting in economic ignoramuses that actually believe their economics 'work' (THEY DON'T) even though they have, consistently, failed going waaay back! Its one of the political secrets that the Dems have been careful to keep secret everytime they take over from a Republican disaster (everytime they do takeover).

As far as I can tell the reason for this recalcitrance in pointing out Republican responsibility is that they need the Republicans to screw it up so they can come to power. I am basing this on the simple fact that Dems have NEVER taken over for Republicans without an existing Republican economic disaster.

Oh, apparently the administration has also figured out yet another way to remove more thousands from the food stamp program whilst, at the same time, entertaining a true economic disaster which will add thousands, possibly millions, to the unemployed and poor (can't wait for the next employment report).
