Throwing money at an broken education system sounds great, until you realize that your wasting money that could be used to actually reform the system. I do think Berny frank was one of the leading people who told us we were "sound", and guess what he's Democrat.
I"m sorry but the USA is an capitalism society and our system is only set up to support Capitalism. You actually need to look up what caused the great depression and how we got out of it. I don't get when we bail out companies that have proven later to actually need MORE money, to be a good thing. Umm, capitalism and socialism doesn't work together never did, and are total opposites of each other. Your an fool to think that democrats are free from causing this recession when they even forget that we are in one and continue to spend. I"m sorry to again remind you I actually look up what I"m talking about, which amounts to more thinking my party an God-send.
So I can go out tomorrow and get as much credit cards as I want to spend and have the others to pay off the dept on the first card? Let me modify my argument for an bit to get the point across. When did borrowing money from China count as good economic growth? That said, the concept of taking money YOU DON"T HAVE to spurt more money is just idiotic.
Obama has mocked the notion that a stimulus bill shouldn't include huge spending. He's also defended earmarks as inevitable in such a package. And he's pointedly reminded Republicans about who won the November election. when you have virtually no bipartisan support, your having an problem. There's an fundamental disagreement between Obama and Financial-Conservatives, the stimulus bill hit it big time. Point being there was no bipartisanship in the stimulus bill.

You aren't even using common sense, so there's not much point in trying to debate this. I'll just say that firstly, you have to spend money to make money (look up "Investment") and secondly, there are tons of socialized programs in our country (all those things I pointed out like libraries that you ignored) so socialism and capitalism
do work together. Total capitalism without government oversight is called "anarchism"
