Paul Krugman: Economy Was Never 'On The Road To Recovery'

The PRESIDENT needs to introduce a plan, a massive stimulus bill that includes jobs' programs that would affect every sector of our economy EXCEPT war.  Then he can go on a bus tour of the nation selling it. 

Democrats need to go to out of work red states and expose what conservati­ve policies have done to the nation and the people.  

That's how you coordinate getting your plan through Congress.

There's nothing that Republican­s are doing that Democrats haven't signed on to, in spite of what they say.

Politico and the LA Times both reported that Joe Biden told the Democratic Caucus that Obama was prepared to invoke the 14th amendment should there be no deal.  The Democratic leadership drove this bad deal -- John Boehner did not have the votes for it and it was Pelosi who saved his butt, as was reported yesterday in an interview with her in Mother Jones. Meaning, we could have had the debt ceiling raised without these massive cuts (now) and more massive cuts coming up when the new (double secret) 'Super Congress' winds up gutting Social Security and Medicare.
