I can believe the 3 trillion dollars, but how did Obama become responsible for the 16 million unemployed?
Just being president does it for you? Then Bush is responsible for 9/11.....we should hang him.He is the President and there are 16 million Americans unemployed, an increase of over 4 million from when he took office. Unemployment is up every month this year vs. last year so where are the jobs?

The economy is far more complicated than one man, even if that man is president. Corporate greed played a big part in every Wall Street debacle that has ever occurred.
Federal spending on the war effort and public works is what got us out of the Great Depression.
It's called jobs people. When people have money, they spend it and the entire economy rebounds.

By starting with “Vowing to find new ways to stimulate the sputtering economy,” I got my hopes up there for almost a second that this idiot was going to finaaly look History and realze that the whole idea of trying to Tax and spend our way out of recession has never come close to working and the opposeite is the answer.
We need tax cuts and reduced spending to increase the tax rolls I would send this Amateur In Chief a personal message to include a history lesson but I’m already on his enemies list because I’m smarter than he is, as are most of those who post he against this Socialist/Marxist wacko.

I suppose you aren't the only one who can create such BS out of nothing, could you tell us how you came up with that stupid statement? Do you really believe that the corporate world can police itself? Especially when the political world is aiding and abetting the crime? The GOP is the guiltier of the 2 parties, but neither is innocent...your solution to stop corporate greed is to feed politicians' greed and grow government?

It's time to put America back to work building America again.
“[The plan would] put construction workers, welders, electricians back to work ... folks that have been unemployed for a long time.” — Labor Secretary Hilda Solis
Oh so you too graduated Magna Cum Laude from an Ivy league school?
A good way to employ some people and repair the massive rot to our infrastructure that occurred under the Bush years.

Better to spend money on OUR infrastructure than rebuilding middle east nations that are constantly at war with themselves....

50 billion really isn't an enormous amount compared to what we have spent on other things.
:roll: Look. Firstly I dont think all the stimulus money has been spent. Possibly allocated, but not spent from what I know. Second. Most economists would tell you the stimulus was too small, so Im not opposed to this plan. Third, without a stimulus wed definitely be worse off. In my simple understanding of economic increasing govt spending during a recession maintains output, preventing a worse outcome. Seriously you ARE blaming Obama in his 2 years for not being able to completely put of a disaster from the previous administration that he's inherited.
How much did we spend to rebuild mosques in Egypt?
It's fifty billion dollars stolen from our children to pay goonionistas to vote socialist this November.
Does the nation need new roads?
No, it does not.
Does the nation need repairs o existing infrastructure?
Yes, it does.
Does the federal government already collect taxes putatively to maintain that infrastructure?
Yes, it's a part of the tax Americans and others pay at the pump.
How about if the government stop spending that money on wasteful projects and start spending it on what it was meant for, instead of pretending new uncovered spending is necessary to suddenly recover from the goverment's neglect?
Since repairs to existing roads will have completely zero effect on the commerce along those roads, the nation will gain nothing from this expenditure. Therefore, this spending should be balanced by spending cuts in other areas the government also has no business funding.

Obama didn't even make honors at Columbia meaning if he were white his chances of getting into Harvarrd law were less than 5% and he sure didn't have any other outstanding achievements when he applied. He did graduate MCL from HLS though. whether the grading was "blind" is a major question though. Then again Mitt Romney was 1st in his college class (he was top of his class at Stanford as well, but married during his mission and then transferred to BYU) and was top of his class at the Harvard B school as well as graduating from Honors from HLS.
If academic achievement was the issue in 2008, Romney had no peers.
