  I'd rather have the weakest recovery ever than to destroy our children's future. We've spent and spent and spent and have nothing to show for it.
  
  Lets hope that there is not another "stimulus". That states have to cut spending to balance their budgets. That might be the wake up call for people to realize that more cuts are on the way in the future. Less social security, receiving it later, less medicare and less health care overall.
  
  We have wasted literally trillions of dollars this past decade. When we could have been building a new electric grid system we created a prescription "entitlement". When we could have been investing in battery technology we cut tax rates. When we could have been converting cars to natural gas we spent hundreds of billions "rebuilding" Iraq. The list goes on and on.
  
  Its time for personal sacrifice, belt-tightening, whatever phrase you want to use. Less government handouts and what money we do have gets put into things making us less dependant on foreign oil, and creating an infrastructure to support us the next 50 years.

  bwhahahaha....doctor, the patient is flagging...open the drip....more morphine ....more morphine......
  inflationary expectations are taking hold....and we're only in year one of the communist czar rulership...wait till the 'goodies' are handed out in year 3 , you can almost bet the 'new emporer' will placate the "Praetorian Guards' with a shiny new tribute in the form of a major war offensive, or some such sideshow....to blow off a couple hundred billion in armaments, to be faithfully rebuilt...

  An economy dependent upon government stimulus, is an economy divorced from reality.

  There will be a second stimulus in some form, depending on the bond market's reaction. Asian creditor nations may choke on another big bond bolus, so D.C. is floating alternative ideas.
  
  Just talking up the prospects of one may be enough to give the mini-bull market some legs for a couple more months.

  Another stimulus package is guaranteed, but will likely be mostly a bailout of States. More than a couple of States will meltdown next year if they don't get more $$ from the Feds.

  Let those states fail. It is the only way California, N.J, etc. are going to be able to reset all those massive Union Government-worker pensions. Their legislatures are all in bed with the unions. It's killing them. And it's their baby. The taxpayer is in no mood to be wet-nursing these states.
