Sure they did, in one form or another. It is all about thowing good money at an attempt to stimulate the economy. Bush tried it with tax rebates; Hoover increased tax rates significantly and inacted protectionist policies, and deficit spending was born. Japan is the model of deficit spending and stimulus packages.

You are no fucking different Pot.

No shit. That is what I have been saying all along.

I can agree to disagree w/o insisting that your approach is a failure....particularly before it has been fully implemented.

That is the difference between us.

Along with the fact that I dont feel a need to characterize anyone as Nazis, cunts, whores.... or calling other members liars...and prefer focusing on the issues.

And you still havent offered a better solution. Tax cuts? Leave it to the free market? Focus on short term deficit reduction rather than long term economic growth?
