Remember when George Walker Bush, affectionately known as Dumbya and immediately preceding Obama, said he needed power to combine agencies to secure against rampant jobless immigration, keep us safe from terror, promote the international trade base for USA companies, yadda yadda yadda? Nothing went wrong when Bush had the authority from all the same multi-partisan faces running for no-trail re-election today, did it? I mean, only lazy, drug-addicted people Breaking Bad lost homes or jobs, lived on years of parasitic unemployment extensions, home care, Medicare, and the like, the majority of the USA being financially well-off folks even if say Oregon STILL has to pay for their children's health care and even if the IRS has to issue $3,000 plus per child as EIC credits on tax forms even if no taxable income is claimed.

 

Well, now, Obama has just "progressively pioneered" the concept of review-free Presidential agency consolidation, this time to do the same as under Bush but only "stimulate international trade for USA products" substituted for headline rather than "defend borders"...that is, Bushspeak only re-arranged. Thus, Obama really proposes little more than the same old same old only as if it doesn't yet exist and if first now allowed and he then given re-election to "shepherd" what is "incubating", all will be rosy tomorrow.

 

Um, I hate to be this way, because I know every person running for anything anywhere this year is the same face or someone beholden to the same face crowd (e.g., nobody likes Chicago Mayor Rich Daley, Obama/Clinton aide Rahm Emanuel replaces him, to this day all Rahm does is dedicate more and more public buildings to, as he says, 'OUR Mayor, Mayor Daley')...but Obama HAS been running all trade/economy things as unified already; for years, each of his Cabinet Secretaries has been able to issue their own PRESIDENTIAL EXECUTIVE ORDERS on order of OBAMA; not one person running for re-election anywhere has complained, and they're thus satisfied with the fact Russia/China dropped the USA dollar as world standard a year ago, satisfied with more housing and reverse mortgages as a way to go, satisfied with the economy, satisfied with public service levels, satisfied with all the universe indeed.

 

No, streamlining agencies is a sucker bet. Speaking of Congressional incumbents also looking to "help USA trade and jobs", notice ALL they come up with are things like SOPA, PROTECT, yadda yadda on guise same will protect USA jobs, industry, sales, and so on due to online piracy. If only Congress allows the now Gestapo/Savak/KGB-like DHS fortress to yank all internet on whim, proof or not, then we'll be awash in jobs...so full steam ahead building MORE housing as cash-heavy workers are on the near horizon after November elections.

 

Um, Congressional wannabes? You and your Presidential hopefuls all trash "20th Century ways of business", but most of you have been there since Dumbya a decade ago started the Office of the 21st Century Workforce within the Labor Department, and according to all of you what we have today is the GOAL of the office...to be as different from the 20th Century as you can get us.

 

Thus, rather than re-styreamlined agencies and idiotic internet laws, wouldn't it be nice to set about incentivizing towns, cities, and states to have 20th century style manufacturing, banking, shipping, etcetera, which existed even before the 20th Century and all its "warts" and "progress"? 

 

I mean, how smart need anyone be to see that without places to do/be/make anything at all, there's not much to interfere with by having it all made someplace else to begin with? After all, even those foreign powers who must be mentioned as set in stone re trade themselves actually MAKE and SHIP things, and would seem to be invasive of their jurisdictions to say "we who do nothing demand to police you abroad to ensure you're not pirating things none of our citizens make".

 

I agree trade needs help, but 2012 doesn't seem to be the year any incumbent or cash-set wannabe/celeb meaningfully broaches the fact we need things and services TO trade, invest in, and earn income by...I mean, handouts/food banks/unemployment/reverse mortgages and all are neato bazeeto ab initio, but dudes: they run out, and bills they pay are of a recurrent nature and NEVER stop; say, maybe if you made EVERYBODY a bailed out business like the happy bank, auto, Hollywood, and media "too big to fail" types who go through motions on your nickle and spoon-fed stories, it wouldn't matter if we had trade because more might think they actually have dignity in doing SOMETHING other than borrowing/begging.

 

Shucks...since 2006, not even Obama has wanted CURRENCY to be included in the reports on money supply, so yeah, it MUST be that bad and unfixable by mere photo ops and partisan ad libs.
