The Barry of the Campaign has returned but now he's Pres!
Understand the scale and the scope of this plan is right. And when you start hearing arguments on the cable chatter, just understand a couple of things.
Number one, when they say, well, why are we spending $800 billion -- we've got this huge deficit? First of all, I found this deficit when I showed up.
Number one. I found this national debt doubled, wrapped in a big bow waiting for
me as I stepped into the Oval Office.Number two, it is expected that we are going to lose about a trillion dollars worth of demand this year, a trillion dollars of demand next year because of the contraction in the economy. So the reason that this has to be big is to try to fill some of that lost demand. And as it is, there are many who think that we should be doing even more. So we are taking prudent steps...
So then you get the argument, well, this is not a stimulus bill, this is a spending bill. What do you think a stimulus is? That's the whole point. No, seriously. That's the point.
