As with the current tax deal, in the 1990s congressional Democrats complained they were often the third leg on the stool when Clinton made his deals with majority Republicans. Surely, no one could be fooled by Obama's current position. He has managed to get another stimulus, an opportunity to play the adult in the room, $$$$$ billions more to sink into his special interest "green" energy giveaways, and cover to blame the Republicans when the economy stays mired in molasses. He hasn't changed a hair on his head. His only interest in the size of the debt is to keep it afloat until he has transferred as much as humanly possible from those who earned it to those who did not. He no longer needs the legislature to complete his takeover of the American economy. What he hasn't gained control of in the financial and healthcare bills, he plans to confiscate through the agencies. He has the EPA and Interior expanding his inefficient "green" agenda, the FCC going after control of the internet, the FBI wiretapping phones and emails without warrants, Fannie/Freddie reducing principals on performing mortgages at taxpayer expense, the FDA controlling ALL food production and imports, and the DHS implementing his stealth amnesty. I shutter to think how much he has managed to give away under the U.N. climate initiative. It astounds me how far afield the pundits are in assessing the situation. The group showing itself to be the most idiotic is his base, the "intelligensia". Maybe they can quote Keynes, but they are clueless on real world economics. They are now quoting the multiplier effect of unemployment insurance as high as $1 creating $2 in GDP. Were that even remotely true, we should fire more people and continue unemployment for eternity!!! Velocity of money is NOT the same thing as creating investment to grow GDP. I only hope the Republicans will come to their senses and reject this second trillion dollar stimulus and green energy giveaway. I know I can count on the Dems to stupidly continue their opposition.
