You keep repeating your mantra, but the facts are that no competent economist believes the 800 Billion "saved us" from a depression. Most believe the Bush $350B TARP expenditure did it; a few believe the 2nd 350B in TARP did it. A few believe the Stimulus was too small to have helped. It was a combination of things. When the ship is sinking you grab onto anything and everything that floats... you don't pick and choose. You don't mention the 100's of thousands of jobs saved by helping the auto companies... also hugely significant in avoiding a depression.

BTW WTF is TARP 1 and TARP 2? All the money was requested and approved under Bush... the Dem congress just conservatively held up distribution of the second half to see what was happening.
