No - I mean deficit spending that created a national debt of over $10 TRILLION DOLLARS.
How is what Barack Obama and the left-wing doing anything different? This Congressional Recovery Action Program is full of insane projects that will do nothing to stimulate the economy. An ear-mark by any other name is still an ear-mark.
I know that it pains you to hear this - but that debt didn't accumulate in the 45 days since Obama took office.
I'll wait to hear you lay that off, as if Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II didn't really create that debt ...
No but the economy has responded poorly to Obama. If people really believed this was going to work and restore the economy, we would not see the huge plunges continuing everytime he talks about this plan he has, that wages war on investors and the wealthy.
What about the terrible economy that Reagan "inherited" from Jimmy Carter? The democrats are innocent? The Reagan tax cuts led to economic expansion for the next twenty years! Of course the Bush administration wasn't perfect, no administration is. It advanced the powers of the executive beyond what they should be, and the patriot act, while Ibelieve created in good intentions, violates the right to privacy. The Bush administration was not great, I'll give you that. But a few years tends to offer a significantly different view of presidents. Many are disliked and some hated as they leave, and years down the road things change, and they are viewed significantly better.
None of what I've said is radical -- it's the commonplace opinion of most economists and economic historians

Why then, are hundreds of economists opposing Obama's stimulus bill as "harmful to the economy in the long term" ? They've been opposing spending tactics since last year

Obama's not, in any way, responsible for the econemy being in the condition it is. Frostbyte, do you honestly not think that all the money spent on this gratuitous war hasn't caused the econemy to decline? Especially concidering that Republicans didn't tax anyone to pay for these riducolous things we were spending money on, like the war, churches, (which is the reason white Christian conservatives voted for Bush) and the drug war. You reall'y cant see that?
If you can't, I pity your biased education.
No, he did not cause it, (oh, besides oppose regulation on Fannie and Freddie) but he has done NOTHING to help it. The economy continually drops in response to Obama's plans.

Basic math, and I honestly think that you can grasp it, with some quiet study time.
You know, I really don't know if you realize this or not, but you have been nothing but insulting since you have participated in thesed debates. You refuse to engage in any kind of meaningful conversation, or anything even in the neighborhood of a respectful debate.
You have refused to acknowledge or legitametly discuss any point I have brought up, and repeat the same old tired lines upon defense. You do not take responsibility for any of the misdoings of the left or the democratic party. You have actually contributed very little intelectually. Your basic premise is "left is right right is wrong." and you repeat that tripe, as you so gracefully put it, over and over again.
I have provided facts, statistics and reasonable argument, and you have contributed insults without defending your own position.
