America is back!

What we need is some middle ground where badly run businesses die but people who can't help themselves are helped. Far too many handouts for under serving people and corporations currently.

" Economics 101."
let me guess, got your degree from Univ. of Chicago, School of Econ., Milton Friedman, et al ? and whatever trickles down Reagans leg is good?
if any of that crap really worked or people really believed it, than the banks and corps would have been left to fail, chips fall where they may, blood in the streets (actually a market traders dream). same old disaster capitalism that's made this country what it is today.

John F. Kennedy believed in that trickle down crap, Marc. But that was before the democrat party was taken over by liberal progressive socialists. If you're old enough to recall we had a booming economy under Kennedy and Reagan. "A rising tide floats all boats." "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." (JFK)

... or people really believed it...

Exactly!

I really detest the phrase "jobs Americans won't do"

For those so inclined, please feel free to explore the social conditions of Rome before its fall. The "barbarians" were just folks from across the Alps... which were basically the proto-Germanic peoples. The Romans had been exploiting them as "slaves" (different than American slavery of the 1700's and 1800's). The Romans had been trading with those folks too. And... the Romans lost their will to stand up for what they had created. The fall of Rome was almost bloodless really. Amazingly so.

Yep, the fall from within. I can see us headed that way if things don't change. Want to glimpse the future? Look at France.

Crony capitalism isn't real capitalism - and it owns the democrats just like it does the republicans. Obama/Pelosi/Dodd/Reid have given the Wall Street crooks more hundreds of billions than George Bush back to Reagan ever thought of.

I think many of the WS bankers should've been stood against that wall and shot. Instead they are wallowing in their money bins just like Uncle Scooge did in the comic books. Guess who has been in charge of that massive enabling for the past near 7 years? BHO owns it.

1.9% is a stagnant economy. Even with the baby boomers leaving the work force in droves we aren't creating enough jobs for the young people coming into the work force. We still have 92,898,000 Americans unemployed. That's one in ten Americans unemployed. That's what you get when you have a community organizer with no leadership skills running the country.

Not meaning to be picky, but almost 93 million isn't 1 in 10 Americans.

Okay - help me here, this is a Kahr site, right? We talk about quality construction of the best single stacked weapon manufactured in the world? A weapon people the world over would love to own? A tribute to American engineering, ingenuity, and an ability for an entrepreneur to start a company and create what we enjoy? I must be wrong reading these debates on the GDP. As my economics professor once said, "Want to know how the economy is doing? Go to your local grocery store and see how many people but steam. When it's one in four, were good. When it's one in ten, not so good. Really, it's that easy." I'm heading to the grocery store.
