Do some people not realize we did the same exact fucking thing after the Great Depression?
Bitching about the money he spent to try to save the economy, how about you bitch about the $3.8T we've wasted on 2 fucking wars? 10 years later, what do we have to show for? Less civil liberties, civil war in Iraq and Afghanistan still influenced by the Taliban...
Who should we blame for our economy turning to shit? ALL OF US!!! The US doesnt make anything anymore. All the jobs been shipped off overseas, we turned into a fucking consumer economy. All we've done is import shit to consume but we dont export as much shit as we used to. You want to help the economy? Stop buying shit from china...spend the extra money and buy US made stuff!!!

Top US Exports
US is second in the world for manufacturing, behind China. Most of the shit we produce is aircrafts, generators, semiconductors, tech stuff that goes into other stuff and not retail products so you don't hear a lot about them. And quite frankly it's better for us that our economy is moving away from low skilled manufacturing labor, China can have it. But we do need to improve access to quality education that the Democrats are promoting.
