>> The stimulus should have been larger three years ago.

I once had a client who owned a piece of real estate he had leased to his son-in-law. The son-in-law needs a half million dollars, so he convinces a bank to lend him the money against the real estate he doesn't even own. He went to prison for that.

How is that scenario different from what you and other liberals want to do, i.e., borrowing money against our children's futures without their permission?

Really, ted, I don't know how you sleep at night.

>> Now we simplyt need to keep stimulating.

Like Japan... stimulating decade after decade.

>> The stimulus should have been larger three years ago

The stimulus has been in excess of 1 trillion dollars annually. How much larger should it have been? I guessing 4 times as large.

Something like 4 trillion dollars annual stimulus should do it right? Perhaps even more?

I'm all for cutbacks in the military...

Who transformed the Afgan mission from "Whack a Mole" with 30000 troops to a full scale occupation with over 100,000 troops?

Why won't Obama withdraw from Afganistan and let the great massacre begin? Bin Laden has been dead for over a year.
