Krugman: America's Weak Job Growth Is A 'Choice, Not A Necessity'

We do not have leadership in Washington that is required for government management. Our two party system democrats and republicans are not working together nor want to work together. The GOP party are basically protecting themselves and their wealthy buddies, it's call conflict of interest. The money they are making off their buddies are hurting America. They don't care about this country and it seems to be me that it's getting worse by the minute. When are we the American people stand up and face it, it is not going to get better.

Too bad we can't have them recalled and hire professional people to straighten this mess. Pay them a hourly salary without benefits and get this country back on its feet.

If we really want to fix the economy all we need to do is increase taxes on companies that sent jobs overseas and give tax breaks to companies to keep or send jobs bac here. Common sense and I'm no economist (slept through my 8am economics class).

That's one of Krugman's best op-ed pieces ever.....
