Absolutely correct on all counts. Slow job growth. Now massive unemployment. Yet the rich are getting richer, and corporate profits are at record highs. "Let the market fix everything" doesn't work. It has never worked.

Let the government fix everything doesn't work, and has never worked, yet the mentality has existed since the nation has been founded, so the free markets have not been allowed to. If we're shown a true free market that hasn't worked on its own merits, it's one factor, if we can cite examples where it hasn't worked because government chose to intervene in the simple Supply and Demand balance, then its another, show me an example where we've experienced free market theory in action and we'd be better set to discuss the issue. Madison, the ultimate compromiser politician in our history, has seen to it since the nation's inception. The government by nature creates a monopoly in the industry it legislates interventionism towards. No reason to assume its foreign impacts are any less significant than the domestic. I find it curious you find our foreign interventionism incomprehensible, yet have no concerns towards our domestic interventionism. If we really wish to see progress, we should choose to break this symbiotic government-corporate partnership by constraining our own government once more, if the government is unable to pass legislation to improve the wealth of individual companies, then lobbyists become irrelevant.
