take on this. as you say it is not very successful. i think the reason we are in this discussion and this crisis is because the february 09 stimulus bill was a failure. because if it had been successful and the unemployment rate were down 8% instead of 9.2. a dismal report today about the second quarter and the gdp. people saying if they find a job in milwaukee they can t sell the house here to buy a house in milwaukee because they are underwater. the bad job reports. everything. if the stimulus bill in february of 09 had worked and the economy were roaring right now two and a half years later i think that the consumer confidence would be better, there would be more revenue because people would be employed and people would psychologically be inspired and that is what has put us into a tail spin and that is the bigger crisis. i think the 8.2 million jobs loss in the recession prior to president obama assuming office made it very difficult. a very deep hole out of which to climb.
