We are doomed to repeat our arrogant idiocy of our recent past financial disasters. Un-effing-believable.

and you completely missed my point. if the stimulus kept things from getting worse, couldn't the same be said about the tax decrease?? i guess not. yet if it did nothing, it was continued-why was it continued if it was a mistake? your remark about the gop being the reason for our issues is laughable, they didn't accomplish this on their own. yet i'm the one who needs to be objective??

and as for your lengthy post just above this one, yes, our infrastructure needs help. what that has to do with tax payer dollars going to provide low income homes with high speed internet i don't know. i thought that was why libraries put all those computers in with internet that we're paying for? if folks are low income, exactly how are they supposed to access the high speed internet? i guess we buy the computers too, then people in more households can get on facebook and watch youtube..we don't have enough of that already. that'll certainly help get us back on the road to prosperity.
