"they deftly avoid is that it was 1.3T stimulus that would do the trick." And you deftly avoid the fact that Obama, with 60 or 65% popularity in the polls, asked for half of that, with at least l/3 wasted (tax cuts). It's been downhill from there.

<<<<<<Nickel and dime, like we did on the stimulus, and we go Japan's way>>>>> Nickel and dime! Now trillions is nickel and dime? You try paying back that debt and then tell me we were talking nickels and dimes! The trouble IS NOT the amount, it's that things have changed since Keyens proposed all this stuff. He would never imagined that a stimulus spending initiated by the government was doing more stimulating in China than here. Keynesian is waaaaaay overdue for an overhaul.
