Some stimulus

Yep. The left convinced itself that the republican congressional majority from '94 through '06 were true to their brand of fiscal tightwads. In fact that period saw the most new spending in the history of the body, and most increases were in domestic spending, not defense.

Then they made themselves believe that Bush had continued the stinginess after the dems won in '06. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Now, with Obama in and, no fiscal check or balance in place, the government spending oulays have gone from ignorantly obscene to the ethicly reprehensible. This is not going to be good for the people who need the most help. It will wreck an economy that we all depend on. No one seems to understand the gravity of how much spending has gone up in the last couple of months and especially after Obama has been in.

We had been experiencing 4.5 on the financial richter scale. We are now hitting 9 and maybe 10 soon. This is an exponential change. If the average joe could see a graph, their heart would stop. Who is informing the average Joe?
