Um, so do you REALLY think that Obama and ilk DON'T KNOW THAT???
Of course they know that. What better way to solidify power and wealth that to continue the problem? The stimulus bill was the perfect way to embed cool stuff like Electronic Medical Records (which was the real goal) the enable more government. Not to mention gaining 36% of Citibank.
Problem is this however, IF you let the economic pain go on too long, people are liable to start screaming for your beheading on public TV. Ukraine today is on the verge of major riots, they want ALL of their government and banks exiled.
Thialand wants the same thing last week. They had the best quote of the week: "This government is full of robbers!"
So in 18 months they will reimplement Reaganomics (and call it something else, Pelosiomics?).
