    We did get something in return for the money Obama Spent - The financial system was saved from collapsing and the economy eventually recovered - right, wrong - or otherwise.

    That you ignored everything I posted in relation to Trump's fiscal irresponsibility is what - some kind of denial response ?

    I said I do not blame him for things he did not do - as in things others blame him for such as the 2009 1.4 Trillion dollar deficit.

    You turned this around and took it completely out of context claiming that I don't blame him for things he didn't do but should have done.

    Apology accepted.

    Trump should have vetoed the Omnibus bill. Federal income from taxes is at an all time high. Our problem is on the spending side.

    Yes we have established that at length, and it's my opinion that's a problem and the very reason he and other elected law makers get away with trashing a country from and being rewarded for DOING NOTHING without being held accountable ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯

    You are naïve. The stimulus was never large enough to save anything.. Saving a lending/financial system in a down economy with runaway job loss and you believe injecting all that money in to banks that "We now Know" sat on it, saved us? God forbid, well actually OBAMA forbid we created infrastructure jobs with ALL that stimulus all around the country and saved several key problems at once! Then again you may believe the financial system/banks wouldn't have benefitted from tens of millions of workers earning and banking weekly payroll checks may have achieved the same results as Mr, Obatard simply handing it to them :)

    You sir enjoy several glasses of Kool-Aid ;)

    If you live in a glass house - you should not be throwing stones. If you had any understanding what you were talking about - you would not be talking the way you are.

    First off - there is a difference between the bailout of the financial system (which is what I was referring to) and the stimulus that you are talking about- which happened after the financial system was rescued. You do not seem to understand this distinction - and so you are throwing a bunch of rocks at a strawman :)

    Your claim that the financial system was not saved (bailed out) is ludicrous and preposterous nonsense.
