If the economy is growing and we are growing jobs instead of losing them when the election comes around the democrats will use the Obama stimulus as a positive thing and tell people it is working and they need to re-elect them so they can continue to fix things and not leave it half undone. When you start talking long term economics to people most people's eyes gloss over. In the end it will be which part can convince people that their jobs is safe or that they will be getting a job soon that will with that fight.

Explain to me how the economy is growing? Our budget deficit is a record every month. Or trade deficit is ridiculous. We have not created a single job since 2002. And no, stimulus jobs aren't jobs. Temporary jobs aren't jobs. People are slowly starting to come around(thank god) and realize that the economy truly is in shambles, and that the Obama Administration and Bernanke have spent a shitload of time trying to convince the public of a lie. The stimulus was a complete failure, as any stimulus program is when you're running huge deficits. The only positive thing you can say is that with its last dying breath, Obama and Bernanke have thrown everything into the stock market. The spins they put on every single day are hilarious and it just shows how delusional people are. They know they truth but they want to believe we're ok. That's fine, but everything points to collapse. It's not a question of if but when, and what Bernanke and the keynesian morons have done is postpone the collapse now to make it exponentially worse later.
