...and there is no sign that Mr. Obama is any different from the past democrats that sat in the oval office. The only exception is that he has 100% compliance within his party and a majority in congress that will pass anything Mr. Obama supports.

How hypocritical is it that Mr. Obama continues to remind the general public of the deficit he inherited, but then spends so recklessly that the possibility of having a balanced budget anytime within his term is utterly impossible.

How hypocritical is it that the libs called the recent spending bill that was passed a "stimulus package". How does $20 billion dollars towards food stamps stimulate the economy? What jobs will be created by increasing food stamp allowances? This is only one example of many within that spending bill, but I'll try to avoid making this post unneccisarily long.

One of you left wingers need to help me understand what our President is attempting to do. The view from the cheap seats here in right field makes the picture look exactly like I thought it would look before the election took place; the liberal democrats want a socialist republic in place of our cherished capitalistic society. Let's continue to drain the rich to pay for the poor. Let's continue to increase taxes on large corporations that have been laying off employees at an enormous pace. Let's increase benefits to the unemployed instead of finding ways to provide jobs for them.

I'm ranting a bit, but one thing is clear. Barack Obama scares the living shit out of me. JP, UGB, anybody, please help me feel better about the job he's doing.

And someone explain to me how the fuck he has a 67% approval rating. They must have done the polling at a foreclosure seminar or a foodbank.

Shut Up Dumb Ass.

Les I haven't made a new account in two years.

Okay lets get this thread back on topic. I believe we were debating how much WW2 and the new deal programs may or may not have pulled the country out of the great depression.

You ask "How does $20 billion dollars towards food stamps stimulate the economy?". I show you a study claiming how it does and you just claim any source reported on cnn is invalid not because of the content of the study but because anything cnn reports is invalid. I just hope you don't appear on cnn as that would invalidate you?

Wow, everyone only took my first sentence and started quoting it. I exaggerated ok? It doesn't make the rest of what I said incorrect.

Storm, he never said the data was invalid. All he said was that CNN would cover it and FOX wouldn't. Fox wouldn't even mention food stamps if they use the study, they would say something like tax cuts for small business stimulates the economy by X dollars, even though something that they wouldn't report, but CNN would, was shown to be more stimulating by the study.

Storm is there a more recent study that you have? That was from January 2008, I want to see what states are in a recession now, if that's possible.

Sam isn't pissed (I don't think). As a matter of fact, I'm quite proud that he responded as comprehensively as he did.
