Decent article but it begs me to ask the question what can be done about it? Obama wouldn’t think of going back on his word would he? Hmmmm.

The problem with all this spending is that it all assumes that it will lead to a long lasting economic recovery. I dare to pose the question, What if it doesn’t? How do you then pay for this mess if you need to increase taxes on the middle and lower class who do most of the consumption?

Or we can just stop playing the world's cop, stop foreign aid and take care of ourselves.

But then the rest of the world would start to dislike the US silly. O wait...

Funny how all the usual suspects go silent when stuff like this pops up.
