Frankly, I would not mind seeing the entire GOP implode, but I don't want to see a network such as FOX or any other determine who will be a part of the implosion.

Solve that, and you solve the current downturn in the economy. Certainly the increase in minimum wage is a factor, but that could easily be absorbed by our economy, if we didn't have an energy trade deficit. The ONLY stimulus package the Dem Congress needs to work on is the portion of the ENERGY bill Congress didn't pass last year - domestic energy production using domestic sources of energy, renewable or not. California, as it completes its new solar, geo-thermal, wind, hydro and hybrid energy plants, should be closing down any / all plants that use foreign sources of energy.
