The problem with "stimulus" and the overall ARRA was that it was in fact geared toward a short term stop gap and not the long term growth we needed. It was the wrong diagnosis, therefore the wrong prescription.

Unless we restore a manufacturing base and make major advances in our energy production and consumption we will never get out of this.

While I agree that Cenk gets most of it, his framing and regurgitation of blanket CBO numbers lays support for Obama continuing to drive the car down the ditch. Let's not forget it was not Bush who drove the car into the ditch, it was Larry, Ben, Greenspan, G eithner and Paulson.

Obama may have switched some seats around but the same drunks are driving the bus.
