You're switching to something else yet again.

But, only a government like China can control their economy. No US president has that control. If you believe residents do, you're part of the problem.

I'm not switching to anything at all. My point has been the same the entire time. Obama's economy is lipstick on a pig. His economic record is a disaster.

The middle class in this country is being robbed by WA and Wall Street. The Big Banks are making out like bandits under Obama. For every job created in Obama's Economy 2 people get on food stamps. That's a disaster.

And while all this is going on, Obama's foreign policy creates havoc on the ME, raising the price of oil. Obama's regulations kill cheap energy resource production. He's bankrupting the coal industry and making our dependence on foreign oil even more precarious. His radical extremist cronies continue to block domestic oil production and fracking, making prices rise for the MC and poor. His monetary policy is a joke/scheme that is robbing from savings. This country is HURTING economically. What is Obama doing? Campaigning. Stirring up racial tensions with Trayvon Martin to distract. Now he wants to pivot back to the economy. What's he going to do? Create another jobs council he'll never meet with? Propose another 1T Stimulus Plan that will fail? Listen to his speech.#smh

Which is all meaningless. He can't control the economy. He and others just need you believing he can so he can take credit when it eventually improves. Politicians use this to lead sheep.

And frankly, if he was a republican, you'd be swallowing it whole.

You are funny. But you may want to read this page from your link closer.

Wageindicator.org - Global Salary Info: Minimum Wages, Salary Survey, Gender Pay, Salary Check FAQs on Minimum Wages in China

What part of the article don't you understand? There are minimum wages in China just like there are minimum wages here. They aren't the same just like they aren't the same in this country. Again you show your bias and lack of comprehension of even what is written. I stand by my statement, China has minimum wage just like we have in this country so I am nothing like China

Have you told "your" President yet that he doesn't control the economy because he sure acts like it. Obamacare, demonizing wealth creation, regulations preventing Keystone Pipeline, regulations that are destroying the people of W. Va. Not sure what world you live in but the Federal Govt. under Obama is trying to control the economy and in doing so are creating the disastrous results we have right now.

Read the column that says reality. They don't have them in the same sense we do. The rules are set by those who employ. The stakeholders, those employed, have no say. So, you are again showing you don't understand.

He knows. He just needs stupid people to think he does.

And frankly, his comments, often taken completely out of context by your side, are nothing like the demonization of workers, teachers, and others that your side does (and in accurate context).

Oh BS, it's HIS policies, namely his signature law Obama-care, that's causing this perpetual disaster. Almost 5 years into his Presidency and his apologist are STILL making excuses for his failure.

It does take many years of school, as does other things that are less profitable. No one has a "right" to make any money, let alone a lot of money. But that misses the point, no one is asking that doctors go into the poor house. But reform, that lowers cost, is likely to have SOME effect. So, that in and of itself isn't anything to lose our minds over. Using you're numbers, which or not really anymore sound than mine, shouldn't scare doctors. They will still be making an excellent reward on their investment.

Now, as for the doctor shortage, of course it isn't instant, which is why other health personal (a cheaper and sometimes even a more efficient option) will also play a role. Few things in life are instant, but you still have to take a step before you can get anywhere. We've spent a lot of years doing nothing. I'm willing to live through messy if it moves forward.

Such as what? What other professions require 12-16 (or more) years of secondary education as well as the absolute level of technical knowledge that it requires to be a doctor?

Doctors make up less then 10% of total healthcare costs. Noncompliance on behalf of the patient costs this country as much in medical bills as doctors do.

Calculating the percentage using the most recent statistics on the number of practicing physicians in the U.S. from the American Medical Association and salary figures from MGMA, annual aggregate physician salaries total $216 billion, or 8.6% of total U.S. healthcare costs. The MGMA statistics were obtained from a 2010 report using 2009 data. Physician Pay Makes Up About 8% of Total Healthcare Costs

Seems we should be focusing a little more on the other 91.4%.

Yes, thanks to the Collapse of the Democrat mandated Sub-Prime Bubble, but prior to Obama's " stimulus " jobs had already bottomed out and were slowly coming back. 5 years into Obama's failure, poverty among adults is UP to 1 in 6, among American Children 1 in 5. Tens of millions have been added to the food stamp roles, disability has doubled and most "new" jobs are part time.

Who would have thought, Obama's signature legislation killed the 40 hour work week. I've been trying to tell you folks that there is a huge price to pay for appealing to the lowest common denominator.

Now besides your desperate and laughable attempt at mitigating Obama's failure by 5 years in blaming the bad economy he inherited, the truth is we're almost 7 TRILLION dollars more in debt than we were in 2008, and the only thing holding up Obama's disastrous economy is BERNAKE'S printing.

Two weeks ago Bernake said the economy would COLLAPSE if he stopped Printing TRILLIONS......PATHETIC. That's what your President has offered up for a economic plan, and the best you have is blame...

Hell I wish Obama would have told us what his economic initiative was. To have the Central bank monetize 70% of our short term debt, to load up our Central banks books with hundreds of billions in toxic mortgage backed securities and to pay banks interest on the money they are by law supposed to keep on hand.

As is usual, you simply cannot admit you are wrong on any subject

As different parts of China have very different standard of living, China has not, in the past, set one minimum wage for the entire nation. Instead, the task of setting minimum wages is delegated to the local governments. Each province, municipality, or region sets its own minimum wage in accordance with its own local conditions. However, a law approved February 2013 will mandate a nationwide minimum wage at 40% average urban salaries to be phased in fully by 2015.[1]

And yes, I agree doctors make up a small part. But I wasn't the one complaining about them. But that is also not all reform tackes.

Minimal effect. I've already shown you both historically and through studies that they have minimal effect. Remember, that's when you ran away last time, going off on leadership and liberals.

You mean like state government setting a minimum wage? You obviously refuse to read the last sentence in that quote I gave you regarding the new law passed in February this year. What is it about liberalism that creates people who aren't mature enough to admit they are wrong?

Amazing, man, because the trust fund has a surplus ignores the reality that that surplus has targeted obligations and is owed to someone, probably including you. It really is sad that you and others continue to lack understanding of the purpose of SS, the funding for SS, and how that contribution has been stolen by politicians

All the more reason throw the cap away.:2wave:

Under Bushonomics it doesn't because everything is rosy then!

Despite the negative 9% in GDP and an assest loss of 14 trillion and a trillion dollar deficit. Oh and a financial sector teetering on insolvency. Yeah those were the good days.
