Catawba;1058558733]Are we in a depression? No, there is your proof. If you wish to prove that jobs were not created and retained, knock yourself out!
Yep, he told us that the stimulus plan had to be passed immediately to keep the unemployment rate at 8%. 800 billion later the unemployment rate has risen with oave 15 million now unemployed and millions others not counted and out of the work force. That is hope and change only a true liberal can support.
We weren't in a depression when he took office, unemployment was 7.6%. Is it higher or lower now? You buy what you are told by Obama when the facts prove that he has yet to keep a major campaign promise.
Obama will spend more money and create more debt in 2 years than Bush did in 8. You buy that it was money that needed to spend. Millions of Americans disagree and you are in a minority that believes that the stimulus worked
Along with the unions and the democrats. It means nothing.
I am against entitlements yet my son receives SSI and medicaid I guess in your eyes I am a hypocrite.
So what? There is no proof that left alone they would not have figured out a way to fix it.
Losing 4 million jobs does not show me that it helped.
It would be refreshing for our leftwing socialists to actually admit what we all know, they don't have a clue how to stimulate and grow the economy. None have held a real job and thus don't understand business. looks like we have a lot of empty suits in the WH that get their support from people like you.
Oooooo liberal bad conservative good. Way to go. You say you never listen to rush limbaugh but you use his talking points.:roll:
And his enemies are : narcissists
like yourself.

What I listen to is logic and common sense, you ought to try it sometime. You haven't a clue how free enterprise and capitalism works. Your own lack of ability, risk taking, and initiative is to blame for your poor lot in life and why you need Obama's style of help.
Rush Limbaugh doesn't have a thing to do with the way I think. I am a conservative and proud of it.
The only other means states had to "fix" budget shortfalls due to the Bush recession was to lay off workers or raise taxes, both of which would have made the recession worse for the people in that state.
Losing 8 million jobs would have been twice as bad.
I am not his enemy although his economic policies are the enemy of free enterprise and capitalism. It destroys incentive and is bankrupting this country. I would have thought someone your age would be more experienced and smarter than you appear.
Quite the contrary I live a rich and full life full of good karma. I fear no evil like you.
There you go with the age factor, young man. It shows your immaturity and how very provincial you really are.
You are right, that Bush recession with a Democratic Congress led to the most massive spending in U.S. History and more debt in 2 years than Bush created in 8. What do we have to show for it, millions and millions of Americans out of work.
Do you even understand the term personal responsibility? Most liberals don't and apparently you fit into that group. States have the responsibility for their own issues and taking money from the Govt. shirks that responsiblity.
Congratulations, I am happy for you. So since you live such a rich and full life why are so many others having a problem? Are you that much smarter than the unemployed and the millions of others suffering?

Yep, I am 4 years younger than you told me you were but ages smarter. I will survive the Obama disaster, too bad most like you won't
I've heard of personal responsibility. Newt Gingrich used to talk about it in his contract on america. Where's Newt now? The last time I saw him on tv he was saying that the shoe bomber was an american citizen.
How much of Bush's 5 trillion dollars of debt occurred under the Democratic Congress that took office in 2007? Do you even know?
The U.S. Treasury website will give you that information. See if you can do the math?
