You do need to look backwards to see what got us into this mess to understand how to get out. This isn't a problem with the current administration .. lord knows you can see what a royal FU the last bunch did as far as jobs are concerned. Let me be clear here, neither party seems to give a crap and are providing/have provided nothing but lip service to the problem. Its damned time we hold them accountable.

What's that quote?
Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
The problem I see is that politicians view the past as the past and are too concerned with getting enough votes in the next election to worry about really doing anything to fix the problems that they themselves have created. And that is the biggest problem this country faces. We have all voted for people who's sole interest is staying in power by making promises they either can't or shouldn't keep. We only have ourselves to blame.
