Yes
1. If we had continued the same path, things would be worse. While I don't like the deficit spending any more than you do, it was a necessary evil in turning around the economy, which is showing signs of slowly turning. You cannot stop a speeding out of control train in ten feet, it takes miles and miles. Same here, cannot turn the economy in a matter of days, but you have to slow it down and then turn it, and those signs are there. Anyone demanding immediate results is either ignorant or partisan
2. Our position and relationship throughout the world has vastly improved in a short period of time.
I cant believe you made that statement. What change in the path has taken place? Obama has taken over the runaway train that Bush gave him and floored the accelerator.

Thats what i keep hearing.
Things take time, yes. But so far things are getting worse.
But nothing to see here. It'll all work out somehow.
Hope and change at work.
We better hope it changes, soon.
Home starts and construction projects, incrementally, are increasing
Credit, while it's only a trickle at this point, is beginning to loosen up
and while the GDP may still be shrinking some, it is now doing so at a slower rate.
That is the slowing of the train, which doesn't happen immediately
But there is evidence of that train slowing, and that is key to any turn-around
You can find bias on either side to bolster whatever opinion you want, but I can see an improving economy, but it's small...which is where it will start

All we are doing today is propping up the very same people that caused this mess to begin with and no one is doing anything that will keep them from doing the same thing again.
The next wreck is going to be much worse.
Nationalized healthcare is another way we are going to be prevented from recovering.
This administration looks like a kid in a candy store.
Off the subject a little, has anyone heard anything else lately about the whole lead ban deal? Where does that stand? Are we going to be rationing minis again after the end of the year?
IMO, a healthy citizenship is a productive citizenship. There is plenty of documentation of billions of dollars of work production lost annually due to illness and disease. A healthy America is a working and productive America.A productive America is an earning America and an earning America is a tax paying and spending America.
The lead deal is on a "stay," meaning it is not being enforced at this time and is being reexamined for revisions
Hi capitalist Dave.

So, the greenies are telling my corporation that the carbon we release into the atmosphere is contributing to global warming, which is in turn going to cause our world to become uninhabitable. So they decide I can do one of two things. I can reduce my emmissions by some set amount every year until it becomes so expensive it can't happen anymore, OR I can just buy credits from some other company that has done so.
If global warming is causing an end to the earth, there should be NO way around us reducing our carbon emmissions. If we are killing the earth there can't be any buy outs. It's all about money and they've found another way to milk it out of the american industry. You think high fuel prices caused some economy issues, just wait until this comes to reality.
I will agree that healthy americans earn more and cost less to maintain. However, national health care is not the answer to that. Someone needs to take a closer look at the finances of the medical industry. Can you explain why when I go to the doc for a broken clavical, ribs, and punctured lung, I get a bill from the hospital for let's say $16,700 for my two day stay. While after I show them I have insurance (for the third time) they come back and say they've agreed to accept payment of $9865 from my insurance company. That's where our problems lie. We don't need the government regulating health care, telling docs what they can charge and who they can administer care to.
The government needs a good slap in the face. A wake up call to let them know that we the people don't need them medling in our business and trying to clamp down on any subject they feel they can. They laws they legislate and the courts that uphold them can't even charge and sentence criminals correctly. I don't need them running GM, or investigating drugs in baseball, or telling me what doctor I can go see. I want them to do what they are supposed to do and do it right.
I haven't heard anything about the lead law lately and really wonder IF anyone is looking at it or will it show up again next year, unchanged.
If they had said it was for fuel conservation to ween us off foreign oils and other power sources and that the money was going to go back into oil exploration and researching alternative sources, I believe I and others would feel better about it.
But to tag it to GW just sucks and pisses people off
"What change in path has takes place? (With regards to the economy)
We are on the same path and things are worse.
or are you just disregarding it?

The same policies, nothing different?
and then there's the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act to make sure the cheating and bullshit that caused this is not only investigated, but those who benefitted are prosecuted....Look at Madoff and Stanford as early examples, with many more to come
(in case I have to hold your hand on this one, it instills investor confidence back into the system)
Can you explain it to me?
Cut him some slack.
