It had NO effect on a negative economy. The nationalization of the auto industry, the still being attempted takeover of 1/6th of the economy through socialized medicine, and the still languishing and unresolved real estate market due to Dodd, Frank, Fannie and Freddie have blighted the economy. Banks don't have to loan money to make money with Fed rates at zero.
There is always a sight upturn in spending per 3 quarter due to college spending. The national debt is staggering, social security is collapsing, fraud and waste are everywhere in the government, small businesses will NOT hire because there is an insane man in the White House and no one can predict what new taxes and regressive policies will be foisted upon small business. There are two active wars, we are bailing out Haiti and every 3rd world dictator in sight.
China owns so much of our debt we will probably both collapse simultaneously. The goal of OZero is to create the largest welfare society in the history of the world, to punish the successful people in our society, and to redistribute wealth from the producers to lazy welfare scum who produce nothing! We spend a fortune every minute on foreign energy when we could be drilling and producing our own energy. Cap and Trade (Tax!) will ruin this country!
And you sit there like a toadstool relishing our INCREDIBLE economy that actually shrank 2% in 2009! You sir, are a MORON!
A most excellent rant my FRiend! Well said!
The comparison is equivalent to the same thing the MSM and Zer0's boys have been pumping on job losses....."we lost less jobs than last month - by a whopping (insert number here)....all the while the total number of out of workers increases steadily. Meanwhile the Treasury is printing twenties so damn fast they can't even get the print evenly aligned on the paper (take a look at some...)......
