@V5: your entire post came across as one giant "NO U". I like you man, and we share tastes in music, but it is pretty difficult to believe you, or anyone else "digs deeper"
outside of music, when the "normal suspects" parrot the same tired lines as the Rick Sanchez's of the media.
Just because a website is "poorly designed" doesn't have anything to do with it's content, Arts major. It also doesn't make any sense to bounce back and forth from I am "repeating the obvious" to "I am saying ridiculous shit". It's one or the other. You contradict your self saying "everyone knows the MSM is bought and paid for" and then turning around and saying any other source would be
less reputable though.

Bullshit. We both know that enough time hasn't passed to pass judgment.
Yes we do. Obviously you read zero economic data. All signs of recovery were due to spending from recycled tax dollars. That isn't growth. That isn't recovery. Permanent jobs were not created. When you have bullshit like temp Census jobs being counted into the statistics as "Jobs created", any suggestion that the current administration is being honest is laughable.

I do think that Obama prevented the economy from collapsing - however, I would agree that the stimulus isn't working as well as they had hoped.
#1. I agree. They did a temporary injection of money to government projects and banks which was spent/hoarded and gone but delayed the eventual collapse for a short time, in the process creating trillions more debt to stack on top of the previously existing mountain of debt. You can't spend money you don't have forever. The bill collectors come eventually, and they eventually stop loaning you money.
#2. Either that, or on the "conspiracy" side, it's working as badly as they planned. If they had actually wanted to fix the US' problems with a bailout, they could have taken the several trillion dollars spent, and divided it equally amongst all US Taxpayers. But instead they handed to the very people who oversaw/planned the economic mess to start with. Genius.
