I hate it when people use this line of attack, this how old are you stuff; because this line of attack happens when the attacker has ran out of rebuttals and is just aiming to savage something.
My age is of no importance to our discussion. What's important is that I came from a rich family - I have uncles, aunts, and cousins who don't work; they live off dividends which range anywhere from mid $200k to over $1 millions annually. I went to a prestigious prep schools and have many rich friends, some of them also don't work, at least not nine to five jobs. But myself, I choose a different path, I started near the bottom and worked my way up. Now I'm making almost as much money as my rich friends. I have working class friends, hedge fund babies friends and many in between. My point is that I have particular insights into how the rich works, how the working class survives, and how the system works from top to bottom. That "trickle down system" thing that conservatives love, I witnessed it and see that it doesn't work.

Translatin, you are rich and are a silver spoon baby, and have never been out in the real world. Btw, my gross last year hit $10M, but I get mine from working. Yeah, thats gross, my net is -$ on purpose, but thats because I live in the real world.
Tell me beb, where does the government got the money to spend?

If you really did make $10M, that'd be in spite of your poor comprehension. Either you purposely spin what I wrote to make yourself look good (me look bad) or your selection perception is so severe that it hampers and distorts words that feed into your brain. Either way, it explains a lot about your lack of knowledge. You know some facts, but not all the facts. And as my economic professor once said, "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing." You are exhibit A.

You are just being ridiculous now. Did you think that after TARP there was nothing? Nothing was done after TARP?.
The stimulus went to welfare, and tax cuts.. not the businesses you listed

Thats not what you said.. You said they would be gone, out of business.. WRONG.. They would have gone bankrupt and reorganized debt, just like KMART, Sears, GM, etc have.

Bankruptcy is a paper process, and has absolutely nothing to do with the economy Here, prove me wrong. Tell me how Sears going bankrupt was harmful to the economy. Tell me how what was the cost to society?

See, this is where ignorant college kids come in because grossing, isnt making.

FAIL. YOU are the one who ran around crediting Obama with acts taken by Bush. Making you look bad comes naturally from just correcting you. Thats not my fault you dont know who did what.
The Government doesn't create revenue, its gets it's money from the taxpayers, that's what he was saying.
So in essense, the Govt. took money from the taxpayers, then put it back into the economy so it could pass through and be taxed again. Kind of like a snake eating itself if you think about it. What a great plan.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. I'm usually against running up the deficit. But that was the only way to save us from the Great Recession.

You think every company that goes bankrupt reorganizes and reappears? Is that your line of thought? Ok, where is Lehman nowaday?

You did not read the article I quoted from. When so many big names go bankrupt at the same time, how does it not affect the economy?

Thats not at all what I said. Maybe its a comprehension issue with you because YOU said that they WOULD BE OUT OF BUSINESS, but thats not at all what would have happened, they would have filed BANKRUPTCY.. To pretend that bk = out of business is an ignorate lie.

You didnt answer the question. Why? What was the net cost to society when Sears went bankrupt? Also, I ask you again, where does the government get money to pump into the economy?
I guess the current situation doesn't fit the "average" definition then ....
