Why they think a tax credit is worth anything to a business that just wants customers is beyond me.

1.4 million jobs were added in the nine months after August 2003 (the 2003 tax cuts were signed into law in late May 2003).

excuse me! please provide details Mr. President! Certainly you would not engage in fabrications - again?? better known as lies??

Because Lord God v2.0 simply said so. You are too puny to deserve details. For speaking up, no more gruel for you. Here, have some nice tasty dirt instead. Full of vitamins and grown with Clean Energy!!

Funny, coming from the guy who loaded up a .44 Magnum with six shots, spun the wheel, held it to the head of the American economy and pulled the trigger.

The rest of us are not looking for a “magic bullet,” just want to heal ourselves from that shot Obammie the Commie hit us with. Of course, let’s not forget that W. bought the gun and box of ammo and left it on the desk at the Oval Office.

We simply want free markets, which is the only fix to this mess.

Those that over-leveraged will have to go bankrupt and start again.

The rest of us will have to deal with declining asset values and very slow employment.

President Barack Obama said on Sunday the U.S. economy was expanding but not at a robust enough pace and there was no "magic bullet" that will fix its problems.

Obama said this, this way, on purpose..... so that people would say things *just* stupid enough for a Secret Service visit.

VERRRRY clever, Mr. Obama. Verrrrry clever.

In normal recessions — the argument goes — an increase in discretionary government spending is unnecessary and even counterproductive. But in the event that a recession becomes a depression, a Keynesian stimulus package might work.

^
The Democrat Economist have know this about Keynesian economic theory, therefore, like the JournaList, let me introduce to you;

the Econolist

Transcript of Pelosi, House Democratic Leaders, and Economists’ Press Conference Following Economic Forum
http://www.speaker.gov/newsroom/pressreleases?id=1414

Speaker Pelosi.
“I am pleased that we had the benefit of the thinking of Dr. Mark Zandi, Dr. Alan Blinder, Bob Kuttner, Heather Boushey, Bill Hambrecht, and Allen Sinai.”

add Christina Romer and Paul Krugman. Did I miss any other Democrat economist?

WH Advisor Jared Bernstein, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, National Economics Council chief Larry Summers and the rest of his economics team

The EconoList, similar to the JournaList...

Just words - more promises he cannot keep. Why do 40+ % still say they approve of his performance????

From Tuesday, June 03, 2008 -
"....generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth

He sold himself as the won (to fix all the GWB messes).

Every time I think of Obama golfing, I think of the old James Bond movie "Goldfinger".

"You must excuse 'No-Jobs', Mister Bond..."
