This recession began in 2007. And the things that caused this recession started about 5 years before that. The wild-eyed inference that Obama is somehow responsible for this recession is more demagoguery and raging ideology than fact. Furthermore, Nobel Prize-winning economists are lining up to say that the country needs government intervention to prevent an even worse financial debacle, while a few intellectual giants in the Republican party are insisting that the government will only make things worse and that it should do nothing but cut taxes… again. Who ya’ gonna believe? I find it quite amusing that right-wing anti-Obama ideologues are calling the crucial stimulus package a “spending bill” and “pork”. Now, that’s irony, considering what the national debt was back in 2000 and where it was on January 20, 2009.
