America's economy is struggling. Despite all of the spending and promises out of Washington, a lot of average Americans, more than 15 million, are wondering where are the jobs, because they don't have one. This Democrat Congress and this White House promised a lot to these workers and to the American taxpayer if they would just give them a blank check, if they could just write money like there was no tomorrow, that they, Washington, would know best how to get this economy back on track. Unfortunately, the reality of the past 16 months since the stimulus bill passed has unfortunately been much less than what was promised. The Obama administration likes to tout right now, they call this 'the summer of recovery,' but you don't see them touting. Because what their original promises were for that $862 billion--more than a trillion dollars, when you add the interest to it, the taxpayers will actually have to pay back. The reality is that the Obama administration, the Democrats in Washington, failed on all three key promises to the American people about its economy.
