19. Rozlee, the dramatic increase in wealth for those with 401K's is but one

of many positive turn-a-rounds that have occurred sine January 21st, 2009. (see posts above).

The administration is targetting fraud in Medicare under the little known or hearlded HEAT program and cleaning up the off-shore tax havens debacle, (off shore tax havensalone cost the US treasury over $100 billion a year, which is over 1/7th of our yearly deficits and nearly all that ill gotten gain goes to the greedy bastards at the very top of America's economic dogpile).

All this.-without support of Republicans in Congress,- the same crowd whose economic therory has given us 9 of the last 10 recessions, or all 4 of the last 4 recessions to be more current, and 2 of the top 3 economic collapses in our history in the short time between 1982 and 2008. And Republicans are dragging their feet with regards to the newly formed Consumer Protection Agency and trying to kill Dodd/Frank reforms.

For some, I believe if President Obama cured cancer, he would be blamed for putting oncologists out of work.
