Horse hockey…Obama’s not blameless in the amount of money this country’s had to spend since he took office, but neither is Congress. What in the hell were they supposed to do, stand by while the country (and the world) sank deeper and deeper until the recession became a full-blown depression? I have a feeling the Obama would be damned if he did, damned if he didn’t do something with the stimulus, among other things.

Horse hockey yourself. Obviously congress is to blame, but the president has a veto for a reason. He’s the last check against this sort of recklessness.

As to your logic, it doesn’t hold water. For one, you can’t prove that the economy would be worse had we not spent any money on the so-called “stimulus” (ha I use “so-called” and scare quotes in reference to the same thing!). For two, next time you get your personal finances in a mess, try spending your way out. After all, it’s stimulus!
