Has any nation, especially one already drowning in debt, ever succeeded in taxing, borrowing and spending its way into prosperity?

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
Franklin D Roosevelt
1933 Inaugural Address

Compare that with Obama in 2009. The only thing we have is fear.

This is retarded. If government spending/expanding government improved the economy than the Soviet Union would still be around and Cuba would be an economic powerhouse.

But none of the genius GOP consultants are smart enough to come up with anything any idiot could figure out. You know who really annoys me is Romney's former aide Kevin Madden. That guy is utterly useless.

Possibly the worst spokesman for the GOP since Scott McClellan.

You know, if Obama isn't able to turn this nation to Socialism, to him, it could be considered a 'catastrophe'.

This is Rahm Emanuel’s “never let a good crisis go to waste” strategy.

Use the fear caused by a crisis to push through your agenda without any questions..

These bastards know an opportunity when they see one.

He really seems to be stuck at about age eight emotionally. Seeing his little rant, I expected to see him threaten to hold his breath until he turns blue if Congress doesn’t give him his way.

What if stimulus IS catastrophe? The real choice is between deep recession or depression. Obama is choosing to create a depression, to accelerate an economic collapse. It may be his plan.

My late Father taught me thirty some odd years ago to not listen the screaming, fatalist rants of a used-car-salesman......

That’s because the Big Zer0 is not a statesman.
He is an inexperienced politician running scared.

For a guy who is not an economist, has never held an executive position and who is only 47 years old and has lived here less than half of his life, How, pray tell, does Obama know that our current situation will devolve into a “National Catastrophe?” His presidency is and will continue to be a catastrophe, but the WHOLE country? I seriously doubt it? Americans (unlike Kenyans) are tough and we can pull ourselves out of this big bank created mess without the dumbbutt government getting involved.

If we spent 1 million a day from the time Christ was born until today, we would not be able to spend this much money

Of course it is his plan. Read Bill Ayer's book. Read Das Kapital. They need to weaken the UNITED STATES through entitlement plans and a trumped up economic disaster so the USA will not be a superpower. Then, other nations can emerge to lead the world into the 21st century. Obama has been working for our enemies for decades. The Left has been embedded in this country since the 1930s and they have been using the blacks as stooges since the 1950s. Its all about making the USA weak and allowing other nations to achieve

I keep thinking how fortunate we are to have the example of the Japanese recession and their many efforts to manipulate their economy. They have failed miserably and their recession/stagnation is approaching 20 years, so surely our government wouldn’t make the same mistakes.

But then I remember that the party in power isn’t interested in a healthy economy so much as in creating more power for themselves and assuring a large constituency that is beholden to them.

Shine the light on those SOB’s and make them squirm.
