I'm still a deficit hawk.

Don't be ridiculous.

You voted for the biggest spender in history for president. In the course of a month he has managed to get through the biggest wasteful spending bill ever signed into law. And there could have been no misunderstanding about it; we all KNEW that's precisely what he would do if elected.

but I'm pretty sure of the consequences if we didn't.

The issue is whether this trillion will change, in any way, the mess we're in. I was opposed to TARP, but it is starting to look as though the first $350 Billion literally saved our asses -- if so, Bush must be lauded for his actions. And I hope this trillion in wasteful spending helps, at least some. There is just nothing in there that provides any reason for encouragement.

And they are dire... without all this action including the stimulus, TARP and the behind the scenes stuff, I think the economy would have come to almost a complete halt by now, with zero credit available anywhere.

Oh, I get it. The stimulus, which was passed last week and literally not one nickel of which has been distributed, has saved the economy. I think I see where you're headed with this.

You're a partisan hack. Bad as tejek.
