Haha, you act like it pains you to add a link so we all know what you're talking about.

Bravo!
Appreciate the link.

Now if you could train everyone else to do that I'd be a happy lib.

As for the content of your post, I'd say...

Hmm, ok.
"some washington policy makers..."

Yep, clearly its freak out time.

Gubmint spending is out of control and I'm against it no matter what the letter is after the name.
When you refer to our president as "Barry", your vitriolic racism oozes through any validity your view might otherwise have.

When the markets collapse due to a lack of regulation and an excess of greed, it is normal protocol for government to shore up society with spending. It has its costs, but every president has done it, including Bush.

The key is balancing finances out when the economy recovers, which is what President Obama intends to do. We should all hold him to that promise and be glad he is taking bold regulatory and spending action when it is needed.

Thankfully, it is working.
