Apparently the State of the Union is that the union is not big enough. That is, every solution proposed in SOTU was a government solution.
More investment. Read sending tax money to connected cronies.
Higher minimum wage, because the answer to unemployment is making it more expensive to employ low skilled workers.
More regulation to save us from the horrors of global warming when temperatures have been stable for more than a decade.
Even when the President credited private sector successes like the oil sector, he neglected to mention them as private sector successes and instead implied they were the end product of government policy.
Instead of focusing on new ways to regulate our economy and the individual citizens, we should be freeing the creative forces that make this country great. Instead of praising a lowered unemployment rate - ignoring the fact that it comes from people leaving the job market and not more people finding jobs - while attacking the successful, we should help the successful create more jobs.
The state of our union is bruised and battered. But we are not out of fight.
