The bolded was my point. We are better than we were at that point in time. I agree the money was spent poorly and that it could have had a greater positive effect. It should have been primarily used to build out infrastructure projects. Instead we wasted it on short term preservation of public sector jobs which provided no long term benefit for the country.
Gee, it's too bad that EVERY president doesn't get a trillion dollar slush fund to boost the economy in their first year! It's too bad that EVERY president isn't able to ram through plans to spend money we'll never have with his majority in congress! But mostly, it's too bad that such a fairy tale can't be sustained, and will eventually crash and burn.
In 18 months, this goofball and his goofball minions in Congress, have increased the national debt more than it was increased in the first 190 years of our history! At the time Reagan was elected, the national debt was just at $1 trillion... THIS president, all by himself, has already increased it by nearly $2 trillion! 190 years to get to $1 tril... 18 months we doubled that!
We agree on this section.
We agree on a lot of stuff, that's why I can't figure out why you're such a fucking pinhead sometimes! It's like you suffer from John McCainitis or something! You want to flirt with agreement or support for liberal idiocy, because you think it somehow makes you appear 'reasonable and rational' to them.... but what it makes you appear, is an idiot who entertains their insanity!
I don't see too many people touting this economy as any sort of success. There are a few, like Jarod, who have no clue when it comes to economics. I would agree that if the Dems try to tout the economy, they will get crushed.
Well they are going to put a nice rosy colored paint on everything, that is to be expected. But this is going to get politically ugly... they are already attempting to paint the Tea Party as a "racist radical" hate group, a bunch of white supremacists and racists... The idea is to shame people from association, in hopes it will squelch the political message. But people are individuals, and we believe what we believe, they can't take that away from us. We are not beholden to a political party, but an idea, a concept of what America should be, and how we should be doing things... it has nothing to do with race, it has nothing to do with the illusion the left will try to paint.
You are going to see incumbents sent home packing... both Republican and Democrat... people are FED UP with this shit, and things are about to CHANGE.... it just wasn't the CHANGE Mr. Obama was hoping for!
