We were told? By whom? When? Where? Where's your data?
I mean you can stop whining and being lazy and go read the economic data that's out there around the stimulus. The data shows it worked. I mean that's why Republicans passed stimulus bills. That's why in 2008 165 House Republicans voted for stimulus along with 32 senators and Bush went along with it. That's why McCain had proposed stimulus when running for office. Republicans are only against it now to get political points.
To summarize, when Republicans were in power, stimulus was a good idea. When Democrats are in power, they say it's a bad idea. Isn't that what you call flip flopping or talking out of both sides of your face?
Sorry, but your post is rather silly. Balancing the budget right now would mean either massive tax increases or massive spending cuts. Either would push the country into recession and possibly depression.
What you call Obama care actually reduces the deficit.
More newspaper/library for you and less posting on the internet.
Oh please. Clinton showed that you can cut taxes, cut spending, and the result is an economic boom, not a recession and increased revenues. Commonsense dictates that if you allow more money to stay in the economy, you increase the economy, not make it worse.

Stimulus was ALWAYS a bad idea because you cant stimulate without FIRST removing money from the economy. Once again I find myself asking you what should be an obvious question. Where does the money come from in order to pump it in to stimulate? Even Keynesian economic theories dont support Obamas stimulus because it has negative effects on the economy, but we have pretend economists online like you, somhow ignoring commonsense and supporting dumb theories that are only harmful.

When Democrats are in charge, balanced budgets are a priority.
When Republicans are in charge, deficits don't matter. Ask Dick Cheney, he stated that Ronald Reagan proved deficits don't matter.
And that is why California is in the tank, Democrats run the damn State, every time they are in charge, they run us into the ground. People need to learn their lessons well.
Demcorats are in charge, do we have balanced budgets, are we in debt. Just heard right now on tv, we have the higest amount of people on welfare since 1965.
Wow that sure is some great change there, ya think! There is no Hope, as long as Obama is running his show?
He knows how to spend, but does not know how to get us out of the mess, he has created, and has not done one freaking thing to fix it.
Should you disagree with them, then you'd be being a "pretend economist" yourself. By the way, commonsense isn't a word. Ironic, huh.
The US doesnt fund itself, which is why it didnt work.
The CBO isnt an economist, fail... And why dont you educate yourself from real ones, and these ones lean far left, and even they acknowledge the same exact thing I've posted here from day 1..
Obama himself said that if he hadn't turned things around by now that voters would be justified in blaming him.
Yes sir we, he sure did and i have him on tape stating that exact thing. Plus many more of his lies. And there are many.
