Have found themselves a worthwhile niche in brokering products made in China, for companies here. Et cetera.

But if Obama had not allowed for all of Main Street's money to be handed over to the upper one percent of the banksters, who are not passing any of it around, then middle class America would have had a chance.

For instance, right now the money given to the banksters via outright gifts, loans and the guarantees total over 11 trillion bucks. Eleven trillion!

How much did Obama throw at the green job field of "bullet trains"? A total of nine billion bucks. That would get you MAYBE one train line from Sacramento to San Francisco.

Imagine if he had the imagination to say - no more guarantees for banks unless they put together a huge bullet train network and fund it, minimum project 200 Billion bucks.

Imagine how much work that would have provided. And it could have been divied up so that EVERY STATE in the Union saw multiple benefits, not only the Wall St area.
