   It’s not that way at all. Obama is the smartest person in the world and just because all those other countries failed they didn’t have the hope and change that Obama has. He will succeed in everything he tries. Bad republicans, bad.

   Because taking money out of the economy to put a percentage back doesn’t take money out of the economy, it puts money into the economy as long as you keep two sets of books and don’t mind the skim. Sort of like making a pig from sausages, it is.

   You don’t need to walk a fine line. Tax the rich, cut military bloat, and use the proceeds to help those in need.

   Well, Reagan and the Bushes certainly thought so.

   Obama is right and we need a stimulus badly.

   The best one would be the overdue correction of the minimum wage. It was set at $7.50 years ago, and inflation has made it too los to keep a small family out of serious debt. Push it up to $10 per hour: consumer demand, Federal and state tax income, and employment will rise fast. Of course, the people who plot to make Obama and the country fail will scream bloody murder—just like they have at every single mimum wage increase in history—but history confirms their dire predictions never come true.

    Carter had pretty much the same Congress that Reagan did, yet the latter ran up much higher deficits. Clinton started with a Congress similar to that under GHW Bush, and ended up with one similar to the one during Dubya’s first six years, yet the deficit ballooned under the Bushes and shrank under Clinton.

    Americans are being tricked into taking out unpayable loans by predatory lenders. Our fearless leader has nothing nice to say about such nefarious and unethical persons. Cryptic writings on the wall.

    Why not make it $100.00 and we’d all be rich. NOT!

    that’s true and quite insightful. and after WWII there was the GI bill, the building of the interstate highway system and other government spending programs.
    unfortunately the other way to stimulate the economy is with endless wars. which i think is immoral.

    And now Obama is promising to economically stimulate the growth of the Middle Class and an infusion of cash to rebuild America’s infrastructure.

    
    What a TERRIBLE waste of money. Like, what’s the POINT?

    Sarcasm noted, but one question. Isn’t that what was done the first time?

    840 billion dollars (762 billion spent). So, where are the jobs? Where is the infrastructure repair ? Why do we need to do it again?
