Scream louder, the hissy fit you're throwing is not doing the trick. Americans know after 8 years of Bush and 6 of those 8 years rubberstamped by a GOP controlled Congress what the real story is.
Now, now... you know the right wingers hate it when you bring up facts. I mean facts are just so "facty" and only a smarty pants liberal would bother to check useless things like facts.
It won't matter. They live in utter and total denial. Because they're on the class warfare path. So furious they can't see straight. Facts are like gnats to these guys.
I worry about the general sanity when I read things that Obama should resign and how its all his fault. I don't know how people can have so little grasp of reality.

Not really. A lot of the economic mess we're in stems back decades. Even to as far as the Carter years and the Community Reinvestment Act. The same act that was rewritten in the 1990s. The creation of the corrupt twins, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, just made things all the more possible to explode. That also occurred in the 1990s.
Then we had two decades of Alan Greenspan running the fed. On top of that, we had a period of probably loose oversight in the Bush years.
This is a complex problem. But I have no doubt that the catatonic state of the markets and the nosedive our economy is going to end up taking is due to this massive and inexcuseable budget. There's no way this money can ever be rapaid. None. Nor do I find it going to appropriate venues.
Will this stimulate the economy more than induce inflation? I doubt it... This is just irresponsibility on a scale more massive than any this nation has ever seen. And it's only just beginning.
I'm just curious if these same people have the same inability to take responsibility for their own screw ups in their own lives. They can't place the blame where it belongs with their party, maybe its a way of life for them.
Well-I don't know if I meet your definition of "wingnut" but I consider myself a fiscal conservative (although somewhat moderate on social policy). I acknowledge that Obama inherited the crisis, but I do not approve of his handling of it thus far.

Some of your views I agree with. The big problem is the Mortgage-backed securities that TARP was supposed to buy off the banks in order to free up the credit market. Paulson changed his mind and said "Not so fast..." So credit is still frozen. (BTW--I HATED TARP)
Obama's stimulus bill, though I don't agree with all of it, and even the President said it wasn't perfect, is designed to create jobs by restarting infrastructure projects that were shelved, among other things. It also gives the unemployed breathing room by extending benefits.
But for some of these folks to lay the complete blame on a President who has been in the White House for 2 months or so is delusional to say the least.
