What a joke.

Government is a terrible allocator of resources. Having the government as a middleman is what is killing the economy
So show that the Bush stimulus (giving Americans a one time lump sum) DID work.

The fact is, you can't - because it DIDN'T work - and neither would giving them your $8,000 lump sum.

The government stimulus plan on the other hand IS working - manufacturing is up, retail sales up, and the number companies planning on hiring next year is up as well. There is a REASON every major country on earth used the same approach as Obama (ie government spending) - because it WORKS.

Why does anyone believe that Obama is in it for Americans? He's a puppet of the NWO globalists. It's what's good for the globalist economy that matters, Americans matter ONLY as consumers.

You need to study up, because the tax cut we got in March was the largest in US history.

So, if you thought that tax cuts the silver bullet and cure for all ills, you need to think again, because when people get a tax break during recessions, they don't spend the money, they sock it away.

Why did Obama SAY he was going to take another look at NAFTA and then buried the whole idea, and why is he supporting ever massive immigration and promising an amnesty that will bring in millions more people to take jobs?

Exactly how much money did communist Russia, China and Cuba pour to the private sector? LOL Ignorance is a bliss.

Republicans are popping champagne today to celebrate the employment figures.
