You spend when you're in a recession. It's seems counterintuitive but it's not that difficult of a concept to grasp. History says it's the right move.
What gambit will the democrats try to pull off to save their asses in these mid-term elections? They could always tap the 400 or so remaining billion dollars in stimulus but we would not see effects in time for elections. It would be just words.
What are they gonna do?
We're gonna end up with this over idealistic spend-freak and a do-nothing congress, and play the game all over again in 2012.
Obama is obviously switching to full-out reelection mode. The spending is ing sickening. Even I was saying "well bush spent..." but its already mid-2010 and we have done nothing to fix our economy.
And that ing bull wall street reform essentially made the head of the Fed and the Treasury Secretary the most dominant future-deciding individuals this country has ever seen.
Where the does it end?
Do the democrats pull off some crazy fast one over us and stay in power? Or are we headed for a 2006 all over again?

I was going to say I hope the GOP wins control of both the House and the Senate, but then I realized it doesn't matter. Both parties are one and the same sack of .

okay Mr Recession, show me where this happened and it worked.
You Kenyesians are like roaches.
Yeah, I don't see why the Dems have to pull any 'gambits' when they saved the economy from going over the cliff...the right will use the 'tax and spend' liberal canard all the while supporting the extension of the unfunded Bush tax cuts for the rich...What gambit will the democrats try to pull off to save their asses in these mid-term elections?

lol, take a ing history lesson, dumb . U.S. History.
Wing-nuts think Kenyesism actually slowed down the 'natural recovery' that would have occurred after the great depression....that's why they hate FDR...
Dems should promise to extend the Bush tax cuts, and after the election is over make a 180 degree turnaround and let them expire + add a 10% VAT on top of that.
I know, they're not big fans of reality.
The Dems already support extending the tax cuts for those making $250k or less....this will be talked about as a election-year political ploy by the right..so nothing will likely get done, unless its done quick....
Why hasn't Obama fixed 8 years of economic destruction yet?
LMFAO 'double dip' recession.
Straight from the GOP talking-point memos. These ing tools are the real roaches.

What would McCain have done? Bomb, bomb, bomb,....bomb bomb Iran....the GOP is like a broke, drunken mother-in-law...

What are anti-Keynesian Repugs' plans to get the bottom 95% going again?
They don't have any. Like the top 5%, they've got theirs, they don't give a about America.
United We Stand, Divided We Fall
and Repugs and conservatives have been working and conspiring like for 35 years to divide America, and America has and is fallen.

Why do you think they call Ben Bernanke "Helicopter Ben"?
I don’t claim to understand everything about this 700 billion bailout…I only know that one day the money will run out & liberals will have to stop posting on the internet all day & get a job…
Ohhhh the horror…
I'm still waiting for you right-wing ers' SOLUTION to the deep, pervasive, LONG-TERM Banksters Great Depression.
Fix the economy? Pffft. There is no "fixing" the economy. All America is doing is what other insolvent countries have done --- postpone the inevitable. The country can either have austerity now or have austerity imposed upon it later. Whenever that comes, there will be a sharp decline in Americans' standard of living. And by that I don't mean 10% unemployment; I mean something more like half the population falling into poverty, with no social services available to ameliorate it.
When that comes, there will be widespread social unrest. And by that I don't street marches or Tea Party rallies or people saying mean things about the President. I mean widespread burning of cities and killing. I mean total chaos where those who aren't prepared to kill will be easy prey for those who are. The bankrupt government will be impotent and irrelevant, a government in name only, with no control over its putative territory.
Out of that chaos, some group will rise up, and through generous distribution of ruthless violence take back control of the streets. This will be the new government. And out of gra ude for pulling whatever is left of society, out of the flames, this new government will be afforded whatever authority it says it needs.
Then there will the identification of scapegoats -- the ones who "did this to us." The leaders of those groups will be exterminated and their followers will be persecuted.
My focus is to ensure that the authoritarian dictatorship which takes hold is right-wing, and that the leftists are the ones exterminated, rather than the other way around. That seems doable in this part of the country; in places like California and New England it will be reversed, and so it will be necessary to go to war with them. This culture has always needed a common enemy against which to fight in order to meet its potential.

Thats easy. Buy property at least 40 miles from a major urban center. Put in fences, wells, irrigation, house, rain collection system as a fallback, plant orchards, gardens, grazing for hogs, goats, etc. stockpile lots of guns and ammo. Have a core group of competent productive people that will retreat to the compound when the hits the fan and defend it to the death.
Ooops, already doing that.
Nah, we'll just keep making cheaper TVs and video games.

I suppose you're thrilled and delighted what the oligarchy has done to the country?

He did.. that's why we didn't get out of the depression till AFTER ww2, and Keynes theorized that there would be a massive Recession after ww2 because the govt would cut spending. Well the govt did cut spending and there was a huge economic boom, and then the Austrians used it to scoff Keynes.
Also, the Keynesians couldn't explain the stagflation of the 70's.
