<<<it was the stimulus plan that failed>>>

The only reason it fails in your eyes is that it was proposed by Obama. What has failed? The plunging loss of jobs under Bush has been stopped and we are on the uptick. We are no longer in a recession and the stock market has been doing great. Not only has that been accomplished but it has been accomplished withOUT some drastic secondary results - like exploding inflation or rapidly rising interest rates.

The debt has exploded, but unless one votes for Ron Paul - it will continue to explode. The tiny tinkering by the other candidates is like using a squirt gun against a raging forest fire. ........If Obama had done nothing, every single republican (and the public) would have attacked him for doing nothing and you know that! You might not be honest enough to admit it, but is the truth. Obama could have gone much bigger, afterall Krugman said he was crazy and should have spent three times as much on the stimulus bill.

So - given politics - what would you have done to turn the economy around that was consumed by fear at the end of the Bush reign.
