You're using the same illogic the Left used assailing Bush for allegedly neglecting domestic security in favor of foreign interventions. Nobody ever gets credit for preventing something.
And isn't it proof of the Stimulus's effectiveness that, coinciding with its exhaustion, the economy started to falter? Where would it have gone if we'd never had any Stimulus?
You're a Hayek fan. So am I. The problem with allowing things to collapse naturally is, What happens in the interim? We live in Mad Max Thunderdome, that's what happens.
I'm a nut. I'd love to live through that kind of volatility. Problem is, my family, my parents, my friends... I don't think they'd like that. Along with 200 million or so other people in the country who would lose their fucking minds.
