Hard to decipher your ebonics but I did my best. How does the government create jobs? I mean other then making government bigger? And this is going to bring the deficit down? I hate socialist especially ones that practice chinese arithmatic

[beteck123]

As far as the Economy goes,anything is better than the Bush Admin.Suprisingly though,he has an MBA from Yale business school.I am sure Yale business school is considering changing their name now.not good publicity for them.Secondly,the deficit is laargely because most of the loans they took has been invested in the military in order words in Attacking WTC,Iraq and Afghanistan.Instead of in the US to create jobs and train and develope human resources,start new businesses .John has vow to continue

Educate your self first. Reagan didn't do any of the crap Obamas planning.I was there so any

revisionist history will fall on deaf ears.

[vallejoelgrande]

That's Keynesian. Educate youself about it and then we'll talk, ok?

[marklincoln]

Reagan applied no such crap! He instituted the

largest tax cut to date.He also cut wastefull wellfare programs that entraped entire generations into dependence

[vallejoelgrande]

It's not an argument; it's a fact. Socialist? Was Reagan and any other president since FDR who applied Keynesian economic principles a socialist? "Pot smoking" doesn't apply to me, but it's very typical of you to launch ad hominem attacks when you don't have anything better to say. Big fan of Karl Rove, are you?

[marklincoln]

So if we just become socialist then we'll finally have that dope smoking utopia that the hippies couldn't quite acheive?Bush is a moron(great argument,typical liberal)

[vallejoelgrande]

He won't spend it on a pointless words at the expense of our honorable soldiers and the trust of the American people. We will replace failed military Keynesianism with history-tested economic Keynesianism by investing in schools, healthcare, infrastructure, just like FDR did. What else does Bush need to do to convince you he is a moron?

[marklincoln]

This asshole said we defaulted on our debt.You

also ignore the fact that our deficit has been

reduced by half since the high point.But Obama

yo Mama is going to fix it by spending more

[vallejoelgrande]

The only reason we didn't default is because Congress was forced to raised the national debt limit to 9 trillion, the fourth time it had to do that since Bush took office. We owe China and Japan nearly a trillion dollars each and the steep decline in the value of the dollar followed by the severe contraction of the American economy is taking place. Say "Thank you, sir. May I have another?"...to Bush.
