You have to get the entire picture, not just what feeds your frustration. If BO didn't do what he did we could have ended up in a depression...are you ok with that? Do you really think yourself qualified to say that BO should have taken that chance? Yes. He has produced increased unemployment and job growth in the federal government only. His HC legislation and proposed cap and trade are going to lead to higher taxes for everybody during a massive recession. Clearly you dont see any of that. Had he not done anything and allowed the economy to recover without blowing $800 billion we would be further along in the recovery process... Instead we are further in debt. I am chuckling that you are quoting Kudlow though. With real unemployment in the upper teens to mid 20 percentile I think your whistling past the graveyard with BO and his big government policies.

Do you really think yourself qualified to say that BO should have taken that chance? I'd like to ask a question. What do you believe gives our government any right to mortgage the future prosperity of its children in an effort (whether or not misguided) to prevent the current generation's economic "pain"? This is absolutely at odds with what Jefferson believed. Do you believe BHO is somehow better positioned than Jefferson to make this determination? As a follow-up, do you think parents are "right" to support these actions which so heavily impact their own children's future standards of living?
