Not disputing anything? Hey get your ten year old in here, perhaps the kid can understand the difference between 20M and 15M, and while he's at it tell us what he thinks the "actual" Unemployment Rate reported by the BLS was in 2009...it sure wasn't the 7.8 you guys were quoting when you were "schooling" everyone.
You think the stimulus failed, test that theory in the faces of all of the teachers, firefighters and police officer's whose jobs were protected. You might want to leave out the cops...they can save you from the rest.
Who cares what liberals think, your party is responsible for wiping out "good paying jobs", huge bailouts, massive War, unfettered mortgage fraud, pillaging the treasury and massive unemployment.
For goodness sake, you guys lost 6.6Billion dollars in an airplane! (http://www.theday.com/article/20110613/NWS13/306139932 - broken link)
Where'd that "trickle" off to?
Smack yourself again for the rest of us...twice.
And the $6 trillion lost during the tech-bubble. Let me guess? Bush did it....
Oh, that's right, there was never a bubble there according to liberals.
You folks (generalization) are like the people who supported Al Capone. I mean, he helped the poor tremendously...
Yes, that's what they think. With "arguments" like these how could anybody even begin to put together a retort?

In 2003, the Administration set forth what we consider to be essential elements for creating a new, stronger, more credible regulatory system for the GSEs. The Administration's position is that without these essential reforms, any new regulatory system would be little improved from the inadequate system we have today. In light of the recent events at the GSEs, the need for meaningful reform has become even more clear. Half-measures will only exacerbate the risks to our financial system.

But Mr. Falcon was ultimately vindicated, first by his aggressive handling of the problems at Freddie Mac that resulted in a major management shake-up and other institutional changes, and then last December, when the Securities and Exchange Commission agreed with his central conclusion that Fannie Mae had violated accounting rules.
In the months leading up to the S.E.C.'s decision, Mr. Falcon steadily steered Ofheo through a thicket of criticism, much of it orchestrated by Fannie Mae. The decision by the chief accountant of the commission prompted the resignations of Fannie Mae's two top executives, Franklin D. Raines and J. Timothy Howard, and in recent weeks the company has acquiesced to every demand of its regulator.
Democratic lawmakers will tell their Republican counterparts that the continued tenure of Mr. Falcon and Mr. Blumenthal would complicate efforts by the Treasury to create a stronger regulator, said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the senior Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee that oversees the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
So your telling me that the first 200 years of american history was a complete failure, and we were dominated by world wide communism countries which continue to prosper today? I think not.. Those countries kicking our butt now, are converting daily to a greater trickle down, free market society, while we are going the opposite route. Must be coincidence we have more poverty daily with record numbers on welfare, and higher unemployment rates. Ooh I forgot, you think thats good.
In fact I challenge you to find one place that trickle down, free market capitalism has failed, and the alternative, communism, socialism, has succeeded...
Amazing, isn't it? Liberals just seem to forget the aggregate of world history when coming to their "conclusions". If capitalism was as bad as the liberal would suggest, then surely the US would be a third world nation and the USSR, Cuba, and North Korea would be the engines of prosperity and invention for the world.
But then again, history has shown us that federal "stimulus" has always failed in the past, yet liberals embrace this failed "solution" without question.

I note the liberals having a very difficult time listing some of those successful communism countries, while also listing other free market which are 3rd world poverty nations..
Oooh, you are talking about the wonderful period of time called the great depression.. What exactly is your point?
There is no point. There is a question. A vern pointed and specific question. A question so simple that a 10 year old would have a hard time find answering.
What happened to unemployment when government spending rose to more than 50% of GDP and the Federal debt exceeded GDP by 120%?

Actually. Your question should be:
What happened to unemployment when government spending rose to more than 50% of GDP and the Federal debt exceeded GDP by 120%
and we were murdering most of the rest of the world and blowing up its industrial complexes?
