Obama might be the dumbest president we have ever had.

I think it's bad when an emissary is sent to France, Germany, and Sweden with the idea of convincing their governments to spend their way out of this "crisis" and they all politely say "you're fucking crazy, yankee".

While I appreciate some of the things Obama has done socially (shutting down Gitmo, working to remove "don't ask, don't tell"), his economic policies have been a disaster thus far IMO.

 

from what i understand of economics, you have to spend money to get out of this crisis, doing nothing would be a disaster (massive unemployment, complete collapse of banking system and massive public service cuts, to name a few)

 

In less than two months, he's run the deficit up more than all the presidents before him COMBINED. There is spending money, and then there is what we are doing. It's crazy.

 

 

Also, rather than arguing with you, I advise you look up the great depression and what it was that brought the world out of it. That way you can see for yourself.
