People might catch on after the 3rd stimulus bill I hope, biden already opened the possibility of a second one (no thank you)

He only has a certain amount of time in which he can still blame bush until it is without a shadow of a doubt the public realizes his fault.

I heartily disagree what sean hannity and rush are saying regardless. I really don't think obama is trying to ruin the country on purpose, or that he is trying a power grab or whatever. I think he is trying to fix things, but he is doing it the wrong way, and the talk show pundits just sound crazy paranoid with all these accusations.

1. 50 states, over 300 million people. Trillions of dollars circulated around. There's still plenty to run. You think this country will decline into "not much" into 4-8 years? Stop being so dramatic.

2. They are only small pieces in a national fuck-up that has been going on for decades.

3. I felt like not even responding to this, since your 4th line kind of just reaffirms my point. But seriously, you think that somehow the Democrat-controlled congress is responsible for the multitude of problems we face? And saying "liberal controlled congress" just shows how much bias you speak out of. Am I controlling congress right now? I'm a liberal, but nobody asked me about anything.

4. Yeah, pretty much.

5. Changes in our infrastructure and employment and a bajillion other things can't be made in half a year, no matter how much money is involved. For all we know, the stimulus packages could have been the best idea ever, and this country will enter an era of good times we have never known. I think we'll just resort back to the normal with a lot more debt, but ehh, whatever.

6. One U.S. dollar, just one, is equal to 37.5 million Zimbabwe dollars. I couldn't make this shit up if I tried. I know you're just trying to exaggerate and complain, but you're so far off.

7. There are some big changes that need to be made for this country to turn around, and as crazy as it sounds, bad presidents aren't our biggest problem. We've had shitty presidents and had the economy run fantastically. We've had presidents who everyone praises, that end up running this country into the ground (Reagan comes to mind).

8. Speak for yourself.

Sorry, I just thought this line was funny.

Trying to fix the economy by the government throwing money at it has been going on a lot longer then half a year. Bush started it long before Obama even thought he had a chance to be President.

Funny how quickly people forget.

1. NO FUCKING SHIT.

2. As bad as the clinton administration was, at least the budget was balanced for a while. Now that isn't even a possible dream.

3. well, they did vote on them. And by liberal, I meant democratic, but saying democratically controlled congress would be a giant FUCKING lie. I mean we have dead people on ballots. But if you only read too far into what I said, I apologize.

4. classy.

5. either way the jobless rate can rise over 5% of what obama promised.

6. NO FUCKING SHIT.

7. You can't be serious. I'll just respond in kind to how you did to me:

- Speak for yourself

- stop being so dramatic!

- you don't know what you're talkin' bout boi!

8. The first step to being objective is to admit that even your favorite political group can be flawed

9. I hate these stupid 1 - 10 pointer things when I was giving my damn opinion.

Yes, I am laughing so hard that I even managed a smirk. What can I say, I'm a funny guy.

Bush did throw money around like an idiot, but it wasn't on the scale that Obama is doing. Seriously, I sometimes wonder where Obama is even getting all this money. I know the answer is obvious, but it depresses me.

Strategyking: If you can't handle your opinion being criticized, there are two things you can do:

1. Don't have opinions.

And if you're not a fan of that option, here's another:

2. Don't give your opinion.

And if you really, really need a third option:

3. Don't post in political threads.

I mean, damn. Just because I criticized your points doesn't mean you have to start throwing a hissy fit and swearing up the place.

@monti

It's not that I was criticized, it's that you decided to be condescending and act like I needed a lecture on how poor Zimbabwe is.

Being a jackass does not yield a good conversation. Disrespect and you get disrespect.

Right now, he is getting it from two places. China, and spending promised money to banks that they have yet to lend.

When they give banks hundreds of billions of dollars, and banks don't lend it (because at the moment, it's hard to know who to lend to), so the banks just turn around and give it back to the Fed.

Here is my biggest fear in all this. One day, the economy will recover, and banks will then start lending. But when that times comes, the Fed will not have any money to give the banks, so we start printing.

When we start printing, we are fucked. The reason being, is the only way we get to live above out means at the moment, is China is willing to lend us money. Once we start printing, buying our debt will no longer be a good investment. When that well dries up, what we have seen these last few years will look like child's play.

I am dreading the next 5 years.

If you're going to make stupid and inaccurate claims, don't get incredibly offended when people correct them. It's one thing to say "America is doomed," it's another to say that our currency will be worth less than that of Zimbabwe. And calling me a jackass isn't helping you, it's just going to get you warned or banned.

 It's one thing to say I make factually inaccurate statements, but just don't be dickish in your responses when you know I am damn well dramatizing. I mean who the hell is stupid enough to think our currency could be equal to that of zimbabwe's is?

You know what:

Guy 1: This house is like a homeless guy's shack... disgusting..

GUY 2: (says in loud voice) Now it's not, it's perfectly liveable.

Guy 1: I know... I was just.. Was that necessary? I mean obviously it isn't..

GUY 2: Well if you wouldn't have to be so damned stupid I wouldn't have corrected you.

Guy 1:.......................................

GUY 2: What are you doing?....

This isn't the first time you have been dickish to me. I don't know if you have a personal vendetta against me because  of whatever, but I just don't want to hear it.
