#2 they are just raiding the treasury like the bandits they are. If we don't stop them, it will go bankrupt.

#4 "This is equivalent to what FDR had to do...to save capitalism from its own excesses,"

Which has been proven that he extended the depression because of his anti-capitalistic methods. The dhimocrats will make the same mistake the government did in 1932-33 and will make a recession into a depression.

#5 As if I needed any more convincing, Pelosi is without question the most incompetent and dangerous SOTH in the history of the USA. With the "polls" showing Obama way ahead, she is drunk on power and licking her chops at the prospect of more.

I'll never forget the day she was sworn in...

"Let's hear it for the power!"

#7 I wanted to check Zhang Fei's take on this. I think he knows where I am. For me, this is strictly a return to Carter-era economics. Remember stagflation?

The brainiacs in Congress are unable to think in more than a single dimension. Nancy is a brainiac. And, she's doing "good". What a winning combination.

#9 The dems are going to overreach should THE ONE be elected. The voters are rather tuned in right now to government excess. But the dems are tone deaf to that reality and they will think that they can just print money to buy voter compliance. I don't think it is going to happen. I can only hope that the Repubs in Congress do everything in their power to highlight the screw-ball strategies the dems are going to try and implement.

I'm with you but considering the degree they highlighted the Democrats deep-deep involvement in Fannie and Freddie boondoggle I don't expect much.

#11 Yes! This is a great plan! I WANT/NEED you to borrow more money from my kids and give it to me to spend!
