Full economic recovery will require adding another couple of trillion dollars to the deficit. Whether it’s done by this administration (egad, the black dude!) or by a Republican administration in the future (this would require the GOP be successful in blocking all legislation for the next four to eight years), it will have to be done. Quite frankly, it’d be easier to just let the Republicans take over and fix the economy (one big-assed permanent tax cut, or an end to taxes altogether) and let the free market do its magic (sell Oklahoma and Texas to Dubai and Saudi Arabia, and we can pay for health care!).

Yeah, I’m talking nonsense. But thinking we’ll get out of this without spending more money is just as nonsensical.
