The stimulus was a failure. Yes it is policy, but in this case it was a record earth shattering sum which did little in the end................................so to Robert Reich I say................you were wrong BOZO!!!!!!!
It was obvious all along that the economy was just an excuse to spend spend spend the night away........night being a synonym of future.
results? not much as far as i can see.
the people and the media asking questions? not much as far as i can see.
By all accounts the likes of this economic downturn is only eclipsed by the one in the '30s. Certainly that means then it is worse than the one Reagan inherited.
That being the case, where is the criticism for Reagan's spending then (which was historic)? Where was the criticism for Bush's spending (which is partly why this mess is so big)? More importantly, how long did it take for the economy to turn then when by all accounts the circumstance was not as bad as it is now?
"Fiscal Conservative"-Hypocritius Pachydermus-Species thought to be extinct but now know for long bouts of hibernation during GOPer spending sprees.
