re: #95 albusteve

I was just riffin with KT…we’ve discussed the recovery a few times…I didn’t expect much from the first stimulus and I don’t expect much from this one…of course it will be years, the feds are involved…on one hand we have BO and Geithner and Associates, and on the other the new GOP…frankly I think we’re hosed…the wasn’t and won’t be any recovery for a very long time

There’s only so much $447 billion can do in an economy this large. We’d have to go full on New Deal to even have a chance to make much of a dent, and there’s no will on either side for a bunch of new alphabet soup programs that may or may not work.

This dogshit economy has now been going on over three years, spanning two administrations. It’s unlike any recession since the Big One. We might as well get used to it.
