Maybe you should look at who was running Congress instead of who was President. The President spends no money, only Congress.

There is no such thing as "having your own mind".....all thought is actually group thought regardless of the subject. We haven't had original thought since the cavemen. Since we started our first cave paintings, people have started to meld into groups that have like minded thinking. People agree or disagree depending on whether they do or don't have "like minds", just like you only agree with the Tea Bags. My thought processes tend to be more Progressive & Liberal and not so rigid and uncompromising as those of the right. Having my own mind? If I did, I would be the only person on the planet with their "own mind"......well maybe barring a few physociopaths and phschitzos. Yeah, probably not spelled correctly, but you probably get it okay.

Go ahead and respond to my post, instead of parroting the always in vogue in the right wing rhetoric. I'm sure you don't mind an honest debate?

The Repugs didn't destroy, they refused to get on board, refused to push or pull the cart.........and its only the Repugs who say the stimulus didn't work. I'll bet the THOUSANDS of newly employed people or RE-employed people couldn't disagree with you more. Sorry don't know what the QE is, so many acryonms these days.

So full of interesting factoids. What I said, actually answered Texans question.....you just don't like the answer and all you can come up with is "predictability?" Seriously. How predictable. Either get in the game or get out.

I think this visual displays the issue. The Repubs still deny and don't attempt to work to help correct the mistakes. It is a huge hole the American people are in, the Republican answer, is to make it deeper.

I highly doubt it. The Republicans I've known seek financial gain more than political gain. While small business strongly supports Republicans, their political contributions are shockingly quite paltry relative to their financial resources. Trial lawyers might give thousands to Democrats while small business owners give hundreds to Republicans.
