From Denny: The Prez's popularity numbers have been rocky for some time and are on the upswing as he has tightened his message and gone on the offensive against unpatriotic Republicans. For two years now, Americans have suffered unemployment to the tune of almost 20 million now looking for jobs. Many more millions are underemployed. That explains the high home foreclosure rate across the country.
The Republicans continue to hold the middle class hostage by refusing every step of the way to solve unemployment problems, even refusing to fund unemployment benefits for four long months as people figure out how to survive in this tough economy. How do these politicians sleep at night knowing how much suffering they have inflicted upon fellow Americans?
The President is still trying to pass legislation to help send loans to small businesses to survive - yet the Republicans continue to deny small business people what they need: cash. You see the Big Banks took the federal stimulus monies and then refused to make loans as expected. Frankly, Mr. President, I would start strong-arming those Big Business fools and demand back my money. If they won't employ the money as intended then take it back and redeploy it elsewhere in the economy where it can do some good.
And while you are at it reining in Big Business amoral dealings, how about taking away ALL their tax breaks? That's right. The American middle class is fed up with Big Business practices of getting tax breaks and then sending American jobs overseas. Why should they be allowed to station their headquarters here in America if they refuse to hire to the level of 90 percent Americans? Why should they get federal monies when they turn around and scoop it for their quarterly profits and then shed thousands of jobs here? You have got to stop these unethical practices or you will surely lose in the election cycle of 2012.
