1. Ross, this is how your/any discussion with Aaron is gonna end like:


  2. True, he did. When Obama took office the world had just been plunged into a massive recession, triggered in no small part by the previous Republican government. The increase in national debt was caused by stimulus to try and get the economy going again. As a result the budget deficit has slowed and if now beginning to recede.

    The stimulus package was widely criticized but don't forget that it saved such firms as GM and ultimately achieved its goal of reducing the budget deficit.

    @Sergio I know, but it's infuriating.
  3. I think anyone who thinks McCain or any republican in Obama's spot the last four years could've ended the recession or done any better is a real dumbass.

    The G.M. bailout was to keep Obamas union buddys happy. Look up the non-union workers who were thrown under the bus.

    The recession is one issue. There are many.

    3:49AM here. Good night all I'll wake up tomorrow to (hopefully) fresh news regarding Obama's winning! Bye bye!

  7. Now we're delving into the realm of conspiracy theories, which is a bottomless pit. Do you honestly believe the Republican tactic of deregulate and let companies sink or swim (which started the trouble in the first place) would have helped the economy?

  8. Yes, there are. Like overturning Roe vs Wade, and making sure the banks are deregulated, and going to war with Iran.

    All things Romney is likely to do.

    Don't think it would have gone much worse. You must let someone reach rock bottom in order to see them reach there full potential.

    He ain't gonna do any of them.
