President Obama gave a speech on a recovery and the governments job as the driving force behind it.

…you and I knew that we must never let our economic system get completely out of joint again-that we could not afford to take the risk of another Great Depression.

We also became convinced that the only way to avoid a repetition of those dark days was to have a government with power to prevent and to cure the abuses and the inequalities which had thrown that system out of joint.
We then began a program of remedying those abuses and inequalities-to give balance and stability to our economic system, to make it bomb-proof…

Follow up:

National laws are needed to complete that program. Individual or local or state effort alone cannot protect us…

It will take time - and plenty of time - to work out our remedies administratively even after legislation is passed. To complete our program of protection in time, therefore, we cannot delay one moment in making certain that our national government has power to carry through.

Four years ago action did not come until the eleventh hour. It was almost too late. If we learned anything from the depression, we will not allow our selves to run around in new circles of futile discussion and debates, always postponing the day of decision.

The American people have learned from the depression. For in the last three national elections an overwhelming majority of them voted a mandate that the Congress and the president begin the task of providing that protection - not after long years of debate, but now.

We are at a crisis, a crisis in our ability to proceed with that protection. It is a quiet crisis. There are no lines of depositors outside closed banks. But to the farsighted it is far-reaching in its possibilities of injury to America.

I want to talk with you very simply tonight about the need for present action in this crisis - the need to meet the unanswered challenge of one-third of a nation ill-nourished, ill-clad, ill-housed.

Oh No Wait!!! That was not Obama this week, that was FDR in 1937 in his famous Supreme Court Packing speech.
The speech he gave as he was ramping up his 2nd New Deal policies to once again interfere with the economy and any recover or growth by the private sector (the real economy).

The first New Deal stopped the first recovery after the 1929 stock market crash. The policies and laws he was able to black mail the congress and supreme court to allow drove us into the 2nd great depression of 1937. That depression did not end until World War II.

So, since all of Obama's big government spend, spend, spend and screw the rich policies and programs have been tried and have met with tragic failure before; why try them again?

Who has to suffer if we do this again? No one important to Obama and the Democratic party, it would only be YOU!, the working people of the United States.
