And that is the point...
We can do what The One wants - trillions of dollars in "public works projects" and bailout money - and we will still have a recession. Or we can just cut taxes across the board, swallow $700 billion in revenue shortfall, but then be out of this recession far quicker - with the power of the free markets and without our system not even further into the socialist sewer.
But which do you think The One prefers...
Its about "fairness".
