See. Truth Hurts, this is where we disagree..the stimulus package was the ONLY thing Obama did right, and he did it half-ass because he gave into the pressure from you and your dipshit TeaBag morons, who seem to have no problem with throwing money at the banks, but all "Woah..wait..you want to give money to rebuild infrastructure and fund all manner of public works that might help out John Q. Public? Hold it right there..."
Obama is obviously a lackey of the financial class to a degree. Zero investigations, zero accountability to one single fucking bank. Nothing.
As far as the stimulus thats just macro-economics 101. That's what governments do when the flow of private money dries up, is to pump government money into the economy.
You idiots seem to think that government economic policy is run the same way you balance a checkbook in your home, or the way a small business balances receipts. It just doesn't work that way. A country, especially one that operates the global reserve currency, generally can't and shouldn't try to run a balance or a surplus. It's basic governmental economics. It's douchetard know-nothing exploitive politicians who try and say stupid shit like "Well you balance your checkbook, the government should do the same." It simply doesn't work that way. It's a matter of degrees of scale and inflow and outflow of capital reserves across the globe. It's like trying to apply the aerodynamics of a bi-plane to a supersonic jet fighter. Sure they both fly, but the principles they operate under are vastly different and if you think you can equate on a 1 to 1 basis, well, that plane is going to hit the ground real fucking fast.
