Roosevelt seemed to ascribe to it and intellectuals are still arguing whether or not he was successful. I think what you mean is that the folks who have some inkling of economics that you ascribe to don't think you can spend out of a recession. @tiki god: Have you noticed that he proposed (and got through congress) several proposals for addressing the economic crises, and investors have become confident that we had a four day rally this past week?

Clinton made on of the strongest America's in history. It was a task, but Bush erased EVERYTHING Clinton built. They both had 8 years, yet we give Obama 2 months before we start saying "where are the results" Too bad I never made a whitty visual asking Bush when the fuck he was gonna find bin laden. Fucker had ONE task that he couldnt accomplish, but in his wake, Obama has about a million. Love idiots. Clinton made on of the strongest America’s in history.

Obama has already spent, in less than 100 days, a rather large sum of money. He could have done something with the latest spending bill but then claimed that it was from the last group...so you decide not to fix something because it is tainted...not very patriotic, I would say. He could have veto'd the bill, sent it back and had the congress pass an emergency spending bill to keep the .gov running. instead he lets all the earmarks go through. hmm...lets see how the rest of the years in the white house goes... of course, almost everyone in DC on both sides of the fence tend to know about as much about economics as they do about oscillation overthrusters. To Bush's credit, he did keep the focus of terrorism off our shores. that is my opinion so take it as you want. I served in the military and was always taught that you keep attacking the enemy to keep him off balance and don't let him settle in to get a hit back on you. Some folks around here don't seem to mind the idea that we get attacked again. For those who think that way, please contact the taliban and volunteer as potential targets so that my area doesn't get hit, please? TL;DR wall of text everyone has opinions more than one path to the same goal money don't grow on trees dammit. well, to the original post and neat pic…most folks who have some inkling of economics do know that you can’t really spend your way ouf of a recession. you don’t really want the hole to get deeper…you want to fill it in.
