Good, now run along..... I think your mommy is calling.

And we see YOURS let you out of the basement and onto the computer again, to our detriment.

We know the final result for 2009 - it was 1.42T. Not 1.75 or 1.85 as projected, for a variety of reasons (returned TARP money being one of them, I think)

For the record, in January 2009:
CBO projects that the deficit this year will total$1.2 trillion, or 8.3 percent of GDP. Enactment of an
economic stimulus package would add to that deficit.

Sounds like they nailed it.

I know, the economy would have fixed itself if Obama would have left it alone, or perhaps tax cuts, my friends. Yea, always worked in teh past.

I think you missed my point. The CBO predicted a $1.2T deficit before Obama was inaugurated. That means it didn't matter who the President was, the deficit was going to be about as big as it turned out to be. I try to point that out to those who say Obama just willy nilly tripled the debt when in fact the increase is a hangover of 43's failed reign (and why part of me wishes that George Allen had been elected.....but only a very small part).

John, it's your choice to answer or not of course; but for the third time now:
You've started this thread indicating Obama is wrong-minded in his approach to the national economy. But surely you're trying to say something other than just "Obama bad." So forget the hypothetical McCain example - WHAT SPECIFIC THINGS DO YOU PROPOSE that would be better for the economy than what Obama is doing?

Well, John, with the thread you've created 4 days and 52 posts old, thus far, we've still not heard from you on what specific ways you think the economy should be handled that are different from and better than the way Obama is handling it.

I have to conclude that you have no intention of answering that question. Which is your free choice, of course. So I guess we're just stuck with "Obama bad."

You made the obvious error of not including the word "gun" in your request.
