>> It was stimulus to get the economy going again after you all destroyed it.

Well, that's nonsense on both counts -- "We" didn't cause the problem.

More important than finger pointing, however, is the bogus notion that economic "stimulus" actually works, when you cannot point to a single example where it can be shown that government spending actually HELPED during an economic downturn. While it may serve to temporarily ameliorate the pain, it doesn't work. Never has, never will.
