The US federal government is out of f'n control...

I'm not responsible.
I voted a different person.

I have jars full of change.

Another perspective on this is that

when your first silly argument is tossed away, grasp at another straw and see if that does anything.

Look, nobody said this was going to end like a Disney movie. The economic face-plant was brought by a bunch of Republicans who went to washington saying they were going to "reign in spending" but instead spent a LOT more with no plans to actually pay for it and then blamed the resulting disaster on the guy who showed up after they had already burned down the house.

The recovery is going to be messy. It's going to take a long time. It's going to be wrought with setbacks, compromises and yes... there will be a few negative side effects. Much like curing cancer requires you to poison yourself.

If you want a magic solution... there isn't one.

However there are greater and lesser evils and the Cars for Klunkers program was the lesser of two evils.

The economic faceplant was brought on by both parties and by both ideologies. Overspending, corruption, greed, entitlements...all of it. Policies put forth by Bill Clinton caused the housing bubble. Policies put forth by Bush was too much money and grew the govt too much. I understand and admit all that. I DO NOT see you blaming liberal policies at all....EVER! You just quoted that the entire failure was due to Republican spending and policies....you are very rigid....and one sided! Are you a socialist? Are you a Communist? Can you say that both parties made the mistakes?

OH and if it was all because of overspending....then what you say about Obama's spending now? Good luck with that answer cause you will need all you can get.

the economic meltdown was years in the making. not just republicans, not just democrats. but almost all of Obama's spending has been to try to REVERSE the catastrophe and get the US back on track. Not sure how anyone can argue that.

Screw the clunkers program! That was all the money I had! I needed a Clunker... I can fix it. I had to buy a Saturn instead. Which is no longer made. My whole ecosystem is done. I hate Saturns.. I have a DvD player but no gas efficiency. I've been listening to the movie "Tombstone" , since october. No one rides in my back seat, and it wont eject. At least its a good movie?
