I think the WH and Congress did a very poor job of explaining to the American public what is the Dream Act. Most believe it is automatic amnesty. The American people understand fairness. It is not fair for someone who arrived to the U.S. when they were 5 years old that now that they are 18 cannot go to college in the U.S. even by paying it in full. Anyone from around the world can get a student visa and go to college in the U.S., but these kids are not allowed that. Many of these kids are willing to do the ultimate sacrifice for their country (because they grew up in the U.S. and don't know another country). We are denying them of that too. So, they have no choice but to go into illegal labor or worse. So, where is the WH to explain all this to the American public?

Review & Outlook: The Obama Economy - WSJ.com#articleTabs%3Dcomments&mg=com-wsj#articleTabs%3Dcomments&mg=com-wsj
I agree that the recovery has been very slow at best, but if I understand the republican alternative would have been no stimulus and cutting taxes for the rich? It is not simple to recover from the worst recession since the Great Depression. I agree that it was not the best time from an economic stand-point to pass health care reform, but it was the only chance politically to pass. What got us in this mess to start with? The mortgage bubble was disastrous for a lot of middle class owners who have now a debt some time twice higher than the value of their homes. People have lost confidence in Wall Street banks. They have earn it back. You did not mention in your article that the Dow has grown about 50% since it is all time low. I think business are waiting for the market to stabilize before starting to hire. People will start to consume more when they feel safe about their jobs. Unfortunately, our country is losing competitiveness because of high labor costs ...
