But, unlike Smirk, Obama has shown signs of backing down and finding other solutions if the criticism gets too tough. This budget has already been covered, plus a little. They decided to print the money to cover it. Next year is an option, we still might be in a deflationary regime. Beyond that, well, that depends. I understand that those with a limited knowledge of economics don't understand, but...
