When Jimmy Carter left office we had 10% or higher unemployment, double digit inflation, 18% + mortgage rates, gas lines, a bank bail out or two, declining military, etc, etc, etc.

No multi-trillion dollar pork package was needed to fix it. Reagan cut taxes among other things and the economy came back rather quickly.

1. The government didn't inherit this ball of wax, they caused it.
2. They say the worst economy since the great depression and the only way to fix it is massive spending. Big Fat Lie.
3. Wide spread panic? Obama is doing everything he can to cause wide spread panic. That's the only way they will get their money and thus a private sector take over.
4. The American people are being scammed.
5. They will come back for more money when this doesn't work.
6. When the economy does come back... in spite of what they are doing make no mistake about it, they will come after our tax $$ in a big way.
7. People better wake up and start cleaning house the next election cycles and that includes Obama and his crew.
