[QUOTE="brett636, post: 489830, member: 249"] Diesel, you may have had a good point there if it were not for the fact that the free markets are not to blame for this mess. You see, it was the government who told banks to make loans to less than credit worthy people. It was the government who forced fannie mae and freddie mac to hold half of their mortgage paper in subprime loans. Ultimatly it was the government who put us where we are today, and the government is only making it worse. The stimulus package will do little, if anything, to stem the tide of bad economic news as the government does not produce anything. The government can only take money from one group of people and give to another. This is akin to trying to fill a half full swimming pool by using a large bucket to scoop water from the deep end only to empty it in the shallow end. In the end the work is fruitless and accomplishes nothing. I know this will take time, but eventually the people will see that Obama and big government will not fix anything. Demonizing the most successful and hard working in our society for the benefit of the least productive will not help either. The government needs to stay out of the markets and allow the sticks to fall where they may. The moves made by Obama in his short time in office will only prolong the recession, but my fear is that is exactly what he wants because as long as people are scared him and his democrat thugs have free reign to push through whatever agenda they like in the name of helping people who don't deserve it.
