And there is nothing wrong with temporary jobs during a recession. It keeps money in people's pockets, keeps businesses from going out of business, etc.

I never said "debt is no big deal" - that's your silly saying. We worry about the debt problems after our economy starts booming, we have people with jobs paying taxes again, etc.

No - the economy isn't "helping itself", is it? The Bush administration oversaw massive tax cuts to business and massive job layoffs as money was not reinvested in businesses, but taken as inexpensive capital gains.



Yes, "most people" woke up and discovered we were 1.4 trillion in debt due to George W. Bush and Republican reckless spending, while slashing our income by 1/4.

I suggest you read this article:

We have a fundamental difference of opinion. You believe the government should create jobs. I believe in less government. I do not believe we need the government to create jobs. If the banking world wasn't so scared of the current government oversight and actually took on a slight bit of risk the economy would be just fine by itself, however that is not the case currently. People did not wake up because of the spending by Bush and the republicans people woke up when they realized that their home was no longer their piggy bank. People actually decided to save $ instead of spending more than they brought in. A lesson that washington needs to now learn. It can't change over night but we have to start somewhere...
