Yes, it is time to flip the money changer's tables over.

Solution - become a political atheist, get out of debt completely, & don't support any of the institutions that take bail-out money! This wasn't created by democrats or republicans solely- it was created by both parties & the federal resevre

Well said thanks for your comment

Liberals get upset when they are made to look like the fools they are.

I wonder why they hate their country so much they want to destroy it.

I am a disabled veteran and spend my days in pain so they have the freedom to hate and destroy America.

[OutlawTomFantastic]

We are being ruled by corrupt idiots.

[BallinNQnz]

We need John Stossel for president. He is a very smart man. What these economists have said is true. The stimulus will lead to hyperinflation. We are headed into a great depression.

[DanNinjaMan]

Shoulda got a quote from walter williams. I love stossel and williams

@SkyDaddy7 - Don't watch fox news. Don't need watch them to know there is no recovery. I agree ... Kudos to Clinton and (to be fair) a Repub congress for balancing the balance. Too bad is was too short lived. Bush, the big spending republican ran the biggest deficits ever. That was a major contributing cause to the collapse. Obama's response, run even bigger deficits.  It's moronic.

The budget needs to be balanced by shrinking government. I don't care what side of the aisle does it.

[SkyDaddy7]

@GoldenDragon214 STOP WATCHING FOX "NEWS" and compare economic data now to a year ago! You can act like we should be back to an econ like the 90's under Bill, the ONLY POTUS to actually balance the budget & create a surplus, but we are coming out of the worst econ since the Great Depression. Thanks to the failed policies of "Conservative Values".

@SkyDaddy7 - 1 Year Later ... how's that turn around working for ya?

[hint0122]

obama helped cause the problem by scaring people. the fastest way to start a downturn is for the public to lose faith

[tudierudielovesJesus]

Happy anniversary Stimulus! Here we sit a year later...unemployment is still rising, families are still losing homes, people are still losing jobs. Yeah, so glad we decided to pass the stimulus. Now I am sure America will be ok?!? Complete sarcasm of course. We sure have a lot of leaders living on "hope". Kinda scary!

[jizzmonger]

Money doesn't matter, productive capacity does.

What we have done is allowed our ability to produce to be liquidated for the temporary wealth of a few.
