Stupid people love gross over-simplifications like this. It makes them feel as though they're really "smart", and that it's everyone else; you know, all those college educated economists that are really the stupid ones. And for some odd reason, republicans in particular like to play this 'stupid is really smart, while smart is really stupid' game.
George Bush's solution has been to throw 350 billion dollars at the very people who crashed the market in the first place, with no strings attached. The result is that 350 billion dollars is gone, and we have absolutely nothing to show for it but the perpetuation of the very people and institutions who created the problems. The problems, however, remain un-addressed.
At least Obama wants to get the country something for the money. At least we would get some updated infrastructure, and maybe some inroads into some new and healthier technologies.
