Jori, Your post makes it sound like Obama invented deficit spending. I wish to remind you that under Bush and 6 years of a Republican Congress, the national debt was doubled.

AGAIN, I have to ASK you, were you complaining about this stuff when Bush Jr. was in office??? Maybe you didn't notice but Bush Jr. DOUBLED the National Debt in 8 years. Obama did the stimulus but ANYBODY would have done the stimulus. They might have done it differently but give or take 30% max it would have been essentially the same. You may not have "noticed" this but tax revenues are WAY down. If we'd have followed YOUR advice and done NOTHING they'd probably be down 75% (and dropping) and our deficits would maybe be up to 3 trillion a year just to support already existing programs. Our paper would be WORTHLESS and we'd be the NEW Iceland...
