Gee oh golly. Since the first one worked so well, why not repeat it's success to the demise of the taxpayer, with all this bullshit, inefficient, interventionist government pork!!! I mean, the government has already put the taxpayer on the hook for 12 trillion (with 2 trillion in direct spending), with nothing to show for it, so why not double down? http://www.americablog.com/2009/06/obama-team-hints-at-second-stimulus.html
We should all be extensively studying Japan's last 18 years and preparing ourselves for a similar but probably much worse 15-25 years upcoming. Can anything really be done about it at this point. I think we should have left everything alone and let the banks fail, fannie & freddy fail, and let the car companies fail, and then it would have probably only lasted 1/4 to 1/2 as long. I thing I read somewhere someone compared it to pulling a piece of tape off your skin. Do it quick.
At this point, does it really matter? Okay, I suppose there would be some who could argue that there is a difference between "broke" and "broker".
How would you buy when all the money you have in the bank is gone? Or are you 100% precious metals and or cash?
