The White House said the stimulus prevented a depression, yet eleven months after the nearly $800 billion stimulus bill was signed into law; the nation’s unemployment rate broke double digits at 10 percent. Some states are near bankrupt with nearly double the national figure. Since this was the key tag line to get this bill passed, we should be able to honestly state that the stimulus has failed.

Sure, he's not doing a very good job but to say that Bush is not the cause is kinda stupid. After all, Bush was still the president when I lost close to $150K in the stock market in a week (out of $400K). Yet for some reason you idiots want more tax cuts for the wealthy who have not created ANY jobs for anyone. The companies with the highest paid CEO's who post record profits are the ones doing most of the firing and you guys don't get it. The fat cats used the crash as an EXCUSE to get rid of you and you are going to vote for the same stupid repubicans to allow them more freedom to get away with it. The liberals don't want to take away your guns, we just want you to use 'em on the right people. You people sure are brainwashed by Wall Street to blame the Obama administration.

When ordinary stimulus will not jump start the economy. Extra ordinary measures have already been utilized with little or no effect. There are other characteristics that have already occurred like bank failures, bankrupt businesses, rising home foreclosures and most of all extremely high unemployment. This has been coming since 2005. The first sign was the spike in personal bankruptcies (over 2 million). Outsourcing and free trade agreements from the early 90's have left many unemployed and under employed, and uncounted. US was an industrial giant at one time. US no longer makes anything of real value. It no longer has an economic engine of any size. It is now small business. Economic growth on paper but not real. An accounting trick.
