Barack Obama: $700 Billion Stimulus?

By James Pethokoukis

Posted: November 23, 2008

Looks like the next president is going to drop $700 billion (an amount equal to the GDP of the Netherlands, more or less) on the Great Recession over the next two years. I think this numbers has a bullet next to it.

I trust his decision 100%. I fell in love with Obama and his family. i hope one day i can meet them. God knows he is heaven sent..i believe a family that prays together stays together. i know he is a praying person.

Hope it works???

After more than a trillion dollars and things have only gotten worse and now you hope another $700 billion will do the trick? Wake up America!

Throwing money at failed business model does nothing but delay the collapse of a failing company and allows the executives to find new jobs before the ship sinks.

How many small businesses have been bailout?

Haven't we been told for years that the new jobs and the growth has been coming from small business?

Too Big to fail - please!
