What really screws us is Obama's tree-hugger/leaf-licker leanings. When Cap talks about creating jobs, what I see is that we have to create US jobs by eliminating overseas jobs. We have to start doing things ourselves rather than pay others to do it. As far as I can see it, that means all the industries that the enviro-nuts hate, like timber and mining and agriculture.
Well, they are already screwing over agriculture by doing everything they can to eliminate native sod being turned into new farm land (even though food prices are way up. Screw 3rd world kids, it's the ducks we are really worried about).
If they would let the timber and mining industries fire back up, there would be all kinds of jobs created. CREATED, not shifted or traded, or anything like that. AND, since they have been run so far into the ground, they could be created without massive unions running them into the ground.
As it is, the only job creation it looks like he might be into is the peace core.
