It would be scary to be this clueless as an ordinary citizen, but it isn’t just anyone offering up collectivist nonsense as a cure to America’s looming economic Armageddon:

as we wind down the war in Iraq, we must tackle those challenges at home with as much energy, and grit, and sense of common purpose as our men and women in uniform who have served abroad. They have met every test that they faced. Now, it is our turn. Now, it is our responsibility to honor them by coming together, all of us, and working to secure the dream that so many generations have fought for –- the dream that a better life awaits anyone who is willing to work for it and reach for it.

Our most urgent task is to restore our economy, and put the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs back to work. To strengthen our middle class, we must give all our children the education they deserve, and all our workers the skills that they need to compete in a global economy. We must jumpstart industries that create jobs, and end our dependence on foreign oil. We must unleash the innovation that allows new products to roll off our assembly lines, and nurture the ideas that spring from our entrepreneurs. This will be difficult. But in the days to come, it must be our central mission as a people, and my central responsibility as President.

It isn’t rocket science to fix the economy — heck, we could do it ourselves if given the opportunity. But this crew hasn’t operated a lemonade stand amongst the lot of them. Help!!!!!!!!! (HT: Ace)
