I blew my nose this morning, averting a devastating earthquake in the Philippines.

So we burned the country down to save 1.6 million union government slugs from losing their fat jobs and keeping the Democrat campaign coffers filled?

How can anybody argue with excellent results like that?

The brazenness of this Stalinist propaganda machine is truly breathtaking to behold.

Every time I think “they’ll never get away with THAT” they actually DO. And then they take it up a notch.

I think when the true numbers are finally examined, we will find out that depression was not avoided.

The economy bottomed out two months after the stimulus was passed. The stimulus money did not make its way into the economy within eight weeks. It prolonged the economic downturn with the help of obama’s other stupid job killing policies.

Do you have a source for that? I’d like to reference it elsewhere.

Yeah well putting duct tape around a burning building would avert disaster for a while, too.

“John Boehner, the top US Republican, said the stimulus turned out to be a classic case of ‘big promises and big spending with little results’”

And yet, Johnny Boy, you just helped pass the raising of the debt ceiling yet again...in a “CLEAN” bill.

You are a hypocrite and a fraud.

I think it IS a depression if we accounted for the truth rather than covering it up with money created out of thin air. One old man told me that it is NOT a depression because WE DON’T HAVE SOUP KITCHENS! I asked what he thought about all the millions living on food stamps, if they were all lined up at public kitchens for their free food I think things would definitely look a lot more depressed than they already do. Half this country is trying to live off the other half. It ain’t agonna end well.

Sure,

What’s even more interesting is that it has gotten worse considering this was the CBO’s estimate for 2013.
