Spending money you don't have, can't budget for and have very dubious future prospects for is a good plan!
Okay, sorry, it's not really funny. But hey, what else are you going to do at this point. |

Well, yeah, a bigger stimulus would have been better. Austerity, which the right is STLL pushing, would have us as bad off as Europe.
The building recovery is a disaster to the Republicans. Their entire platform is "not Obama (the secret black Muslim socialist)". The further we go, the more successful the Obama presidency looks, so of course they are going to dig in their heels on successes like the stimulus.

@Aer : I know...
And it honestly, sincerely ASTOUNDS me the lengths that supposedly serious people will keep going to in order to justify it.
I don't mean the typical useful idiots around here. I mean, supposedly intelligent people. With Ph.D.'s and other credentials.

Just like every presidential before it the economy will play a major role in who is elected.
A great economy virtually guarantees an Obama victory.
$5/gal gas this summer will doom him.
So exciting!

Still no arguments against what the economists agreed to.
Apparently you guys don't have any legitimate arguments against the success of the stimulus so you are reduced to making emoticons.
Pretty much symbolizes this election cycle for Republicans. Make a lot of noise, laugh at anything Democrats do or say and pretend you are actually making a case for something.

Grilled already covered this.
The framing of the question in the poll is about as nebulous as "Is there, or might there possibly be, a God?"
It's not worth serious discussion. Hence... you're getting none.

Interest rates had a bigger impact.
But I sure will take the word of liberal economists.
