    I don't know what the smiley means, but to take at face value ... agree to disagree.

    Fox isn't sucking up to Trump.

    All of the networks are sucking up to Trump because if he's on people will watch.

    I liked when Conan O'Brien said Trump running for President was a "Gift from God"

    Maybe if we ask extra-nice they'll hand us Kuwait too.

    What a goofball.

    We've been the "celebrity chief executive" route before. It didn't end so well.

    You mean the TARP money that was intended to free up money for personal and business lending, that banks sat on for more than two years, and that is now being used by them to speculate on commodities?

    Yep.

    I didn't say I'd agree with the argument, but I think you could make the argument.

    Shoring up banks & financial institutions prevented the meltdown of the entire financial system -- if you believe its supporters.

    Obama's stimulus pumped some money into the economy and kept a lot of public sector employees on the payroll, but I don't think it prevented a depression -- despite the study mentioned in Dick's link.

    If you mean the one that Oprah introduced to the world, I agree...

    There can be no sane doubt that borrowing money and pumping it into the economy makes the economy better in the short run. The question is whether it hurts more in the long run when that debt has to be paid back.
