postpone all austerity efforts and initiatives until the unemployment rate is below 6%.

The consequences of implementing the cuts and tax increases in the "fiscal cliff" with bring back recession. The recovery is too fragil. We need investment in infrastructure, education and people. By making these investments, the federal government will stimulate the economy now and into the future. "Dis-investing" in America will keep us on the path to mediocrity. There is much to be done and the only group that cares about our country enough to get things going are its informed citizens. Hoover didn't get us out of the Great Depression, investment in America and its citizens did. And yes, the war, but surely we all see that the mis-use of that dreadful "tool" created much of the deficit. Bankers and Wall Street created the Great Recession. Only We the People can pull us out of it.
