Are you kidding? We'll be lucky to get the economy to turn into positive growth by the end of 2010, certainly not the end of 2009. It isn't really possible--in my opinion anyway--under this President with his plans, nor would it have been under any other President with a different set of plans.
All we're proving here is that Americans really do expect instantaneous gratification.

VK, I actually understand what you are saying. HOWEVER....what really irks me is how fast we forget two things ...
1. The bill was crammed through without any reading or discussion
2. The bill was, and not even debated by Democrats, about (maybe more) 45% unrelated to the economy and simply social spending !
