steve...Your statements...."Well yes I say, it is different now - there is a real need to spend to stimulate the economy.

As a pragmatist I understand that we are going to spend money to stimulate the economy.
"....

If the USA is in economic crisis from overspending just how can spending vast more amounts fix the problem? The USA government is hocking the value of America and its citizens to foreign powers the plan being to repay the loan at some future date... there could be some temporary stimulus but the debt must still be repaid...near as I can see stimulating the local economies does not create trade with other countries which IMO is needed to bring about an end to this political created crisis.

So if overspending is good why is there a crisis today...why did the USA economy not grow...just don't make sense to me.

You also stated this...you may claim it is taken out of context but the meaning is very clear. IMO.

...How can any reasonable person argue that we need to spend as much as the rest of the world put together?"...
