    Just think of how bad it could have been if the President didn't borrow all of that money to stimulate us the last time.

    Apparently borrowing Chinese money is like eating Chinese food. It is good while you are enjoying it, but you always seem to be hungry and want some more an hour or two later.

    Obama has also called for public works projects, such as school construction. Advocates of that plan have called for spending of $50 billion, but the White House proposal is expected to be smaller.

    Yeah! Let's go moneybags Obama! It's fun to spend money you don't have!

    They are living up to the idea that they are insane. What did all their cronies spent the 800 billion dollars from the last stimulus package already? I think they need to make money instead of take money.

    I realize there are well regarded economists that think otherwise but I can't see how spending more money helps reduce a problem brought about by spending too much money in the first place...

    Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result.

    I heard the analogy that Government spending is like a plane speeding towards the ground at high speed. And Obama spending cuts is like offering nothing more than reducing the speed a little. And then bragging about what a good job he did.

    I would say it's more like pulling up on the throttle a little bit, waiting for the applause, then putting it back down
