The raise in joblessness was caused by the Democrat majority in both houses when they insisted on increasing the minimum wage. They need a lesson in economics...when you increase the minimum wage for entry level positions, all of the positions with wages above that level systematically increase proportionately. Many businesses couldn't afford the increase and were forced to lay employees off. So what then follows is fewer dollars being spent by consumers. This mess was created by sensless politicians who acted before they thought. NOW they are correcting it with a stimulus package. What a bunch of goobers!! We need to be sure our elected officials are educated in economics before voting them into office. I'm sorry, but having a law degree can't make up for the learning curve.

At one point McCain looked up, noticing the cameras documenting his every move. He threw his hands in the air and jokingly gave look of mock fear. Asked if he thought the debate might get nasty tonight, he refused to say. "I will predict, I think we might set a record on how many times we mention Ronald Reagan tonight," he joked. "I know I will be trying for it."
