"I actually have an advanced degree in economics," If this were true, you'd be able to comprehend what I said, and you'd be able to repeat my argument correctly, and then you'd be able to present a counter argument based on the science of economics. Your appeal to authority just tells me you made a really bad economic decision yourself. I'm not going to debate your political ideology, because, why should I? The current economic state of the USA proves that endless government and consumer spending does not produce a healthy economy. Your ideology is disproven by reality. The "stimulus" resulted in higher unemployment and a worse off economy. Bush's handing out "stimulus" checks to the people did the same thing. Reality has already disproven your ideology. Now, I know, having seen your ideology before, all the standard excuses. "The patient died because we didn't apply ENOUGH leeches!" But they are not economic arguments. They are ideological ones. They are based on trying to rationalize a particular set of political positions. There's really no point in attempting to debate your desire to rationalized. I can't stop it.
