I'm not sure which statements you mean, I was referring to these statements of yours.

1. The thread is a discussion on money spent. How can you talk about human life in the same context. It's ridiculous. It's a topic for a different discussion.

2. It's under Obama's leadership that this has happened. The whole Middle East is rising up under his leadership because they only respect strength, and we are not showing this no matter how many drone attacks we hide behind.

3. The Stimulus was a total failure. It's gargantuan outlays have not been justified in the least. The country is worse off than before it and we are now saddled with it's monstrous debt. You might say we would have been even worse of without it and to that I would say "prove it". You can't do it.

4. I don't even understand the quote, so I can't comment on it. I don't think the thought translated well.

I stand behind every statement and I resent you calling the names. If you cannot respond with a reasonable post, I suggest you do not respond at all.
Name calling is unproductive and does not add to the discussion, and the Admin frowns on it.

TO be fair here, a large portion of the TARP funds have been repaid. Not all, but of the first $470B, about $345B has come back...
