I just moved out of the States. It will not work and its going to get alot worse! We are to far gone and spoiled. It will take thermo-nuclear war to get all attentions. Then people will know whats at stake. No food, water, spoiled earth and a fight to stay alive one more day. FYI Ceo's will not get any bonuses that year and we won't have to read about their repeated attempts of costly vacations, expensive planes or even crooked "pay for play" govenors. Obama is not a God! and its going to take one to get out of this.

When will people realize that our own government is the real villain behind the nation's fiscal problems?
The United States Government is the most rotten and corrupt operation on earth with over 100 ELECTED officials deserving of jail terms!
There will never be an honest, secure, and fiscally resaponsible America unless we have elected officials with dependable virtues instead of the usual lying and stealing
politically perpetuating, self-indulging pursuits.

As our economy continues to move deeper into a recession, the government can try to manipulate our currency and interest rates but only if the world market allows it to happen especially when it comes to exports and the flow of goods. If we continue to allow other governments like China for example to continue to buy our debt we will continue to owe them. Any stimulus we receive from our government has foreign influence all over it. It may help for a while but in the long term aspect, many people will continue to try to get back their investments in their 401 k , life insurance policies, bank stocks, etc. So instead of doing this maybe getting our corporations and financial institutions to invest in the U.S. economy may be more of a realistic goal so we can get our GNP to a level where we can again compete in the world financial market and take control of our currency. Or lets get Iraq to repay us with their oil money to help with our economy and give that money to our citizens as our stimulus package.
