Will Obama Deal With This?

How about this as a concept.

Just like in an airplane, they tell parents in the event of an emergency to put the oxygen mask on themselves first, then for the parent to put it on the children after they have secured their own situation.

How about America forgets the problems of the world for a decade, and fixes our own first.

The stronger we are, the more we can actually help.

If we did that, we wouldn't have so many problems. Do the Chinese find it necessary to have huge military bases all over the world? The Russians?

Are the American people actually prepared to go to war with Russia over Georgia or Ukrania? Estonia?

Looks like you're suggesting that we "tax the US consumer to prop up an unsustainable business model. Then again, a bailout will likely be of the form "tax the US consumer to prop up an unsustainable business model". I don't see where your idea is an improvement.

I think companies in countries with socialized health care are getting an unfair subsidy. I am just trying to level the playing field, which I think is preferable to a bailout or government ownership.

Anyone has a better idea, let's hear it.

Following your argument, the most direct path to a level playing field would be the socialization of our health care system. Frankly, I'm surprised that you came up with the idea.
