Protectionism invokes retaliatory responses from trading partners who then all engage in one-upmanship. That stifles trade. Exports suffer. Protectionism also makes the "protected" domestic industries less competitive on the world stage, not unlike rewarding bad behavior. See how that works?
What I heard was ....
Bank bailouts....emphasis on "more prop money" needed
Auto bailouts....emphasis on domestic manufacturing
Wall Street ....increased regulation
House Mortgage bailouts
Energy....Making alts competitive with carbon taxes
Education....performance rewards....general improvements
Medicine ....electronic records
Tax Increases on Small Business Owners
Social security cognizance....
More tax money is going to be needed
......................................................................
Thus the esssence of the speech was bigger government and a relatively smaller private business segment....
.....................................................................
Banks....Why not reward those have done well by serving them with the best parts of the failed ?
Autos....Foreign companies have won on US soil....hiring US workers....Their model succeeded and should be rewarded....
Wall Street....deserves more "smart" not vigilant regulation....
House bailouts to the most deserving....If an individual is not bright enough to understand the most significant purchase in one's lifetime....what does this suggest ?
Energy....The only way for alts to win via price is to make sure that oil based energy stays just as expensive via rules....
Education....performance based....very intriquing....but costs need to be dramatically reduced....the only method for this is via the internet....
Medicine....any significant addition to efficiency that will lower costs is good....
Tax increases....just the opposite should be happening....a 10% consumption tax ....is the only way to go....
Social security....where is the money for this ?
................................................................
I like Obama because he is self made....and I really believe he can be one of the US's best Presidents....In that a President serves as a "talking catalyst"....At talking....He is THE BEST....
IF HE WOULD DELIVER THE 10% CONSUMPTION ONLY TAX....
Obama needs to make some changes in the "tax structure"....
And needs to dramatically reduce the size of government....not increase it....

I tend to agree. It was the Bush performance that handed the Dems the Presidency on a platter. Not necessarily Obama, but it would be one of the Dems.
Jindal was weak in his presentation and rebuttal. The GOP is digging itself a deeper hole and after Bush, it's already deep enough. If they don't get their act together it's going to be Dem Dynasty - unless an independent party can challenge effectively.
Sorry you don't feel a part of this.
Are you thinking of a different country to move to?

Really? I bet a 2000 do over looks good right about now.
The guy looked like a freaking Cartoon character!
He looked like one of those actors on Saturday Night Live doing some kind of skit.
Let's face it, the Republican Party is in shambles. They have absolutely NO leadership . . . And a lot of the things that Jindal highlighted ( in a most convoluted way ) made him look like a hypocrite.
