It looks so familiar!

Just because their predictions were clearly retarded doesn't mean that a stimulus wasn't needed.
EDIT: Also because of how much of economics is governed by perception of economic fitness, overly optimistic predictions are a NECESSARY thing for the government to give.

Even in a theoretical economy where the government gets $1 of GDP for every $1 it spends, trusting our government to spend the debt wisely is a bad bet.

Fair enough, especially in our consumer driven economy.  Still, what good is it to project optimism if it compels consumers to go into more debt?  I understand the problem of deflation, and the government coming out and saying "HEY WERE GOING TO BE ******" would obviously make it worse, but it still sort of sucks to be lied to.

In a consumer driven economy, LACK of a stimulus plan would only increase consumer skepticism in the economy, making the recession that much worse. Therefore, it was a necessary step, just like overly optimistic predictions.
Not saying it's moral or anything, but it had to be done. And you should've known you were being lied to, you don't strike me as quite stupid enough to accept everything the government throws as you as the truth.

Your obsession with statist regimes makes me wonder if you just play too many video games...

Linking charts from a political site that is run by a political part with an obstructional opposition to Obama. Do you watch Fox News Slapnuts?

regardless of the source the graph speaks volumes

*facepalm*

I really wish I could ban you just for being completely stupid.  You will definitely make the next "vote off the GR Island" poll 

The numbers regardless of the location are factual.  I realize that, much like HTML, it is probably hard for you to understand.
