It's Unemployment, Mr. Buffet

I rarely enjoy citing Arianna Huffington, but she nailed the economy and the dissonance between our "leaders" and the rest of us when she wrote this appeal to Warren Buffet, asking him to "put down the pom-poms" and think of real solutions to the economy.

Sure all the banks and Wall Street are doing well. But Main Street? With unemployment to probably go over 10% and the under-employed hovering around 20%?

Remember the 1992 Clinton Campaign sign in the campaign office: it's the economy, stupid? Well, Mr. Buffet, it's unemployment, living wages, and some benefits....
