You can't spend your way out of this economic crisis - especially when you consider that people spending money that they didn't have (and could never pay back) was what got us into this mess. Fixing the problem by vastly increasing our national debt is like trying to put out a fire by pouring gasoline on it.

Please, people overly happy with having first Afro-american president do not pay attention to small details. It means that 1750 B/year deficit is much better thing than 'onerous' Bush deficits at 300 B/year; and two 'illegal' wars caused so much outrage should proceed further because they are not outrageous anymore.
