But it's not off to a good start in my opinion. But it would be practically impossible for him to get a fair start with the mess that the last administration and congress left. I wish Barack well and hope he can turn things around this country needs it. But that's not going to happen when the same fuckers that caused the mess are still in power in the house and senate.
If you take away the partisan bullshit you're left with the fact that the Republicans and Democrats in power have failed us and I wish they could all be fired so we can start over from scratch.

Spending stimulates the economy. Even if it is pork it still puts someone to work or buys something once again puts someone to work or someone gets to keep their job.Is building a train line really pork? don't people have to build it? don't people have to run it? materials have to be bought ? don't trains have to be bought? that's stimulus spending. Cutting taxes isnt going to fix this. The right needs this all to fail or they are done for a very long time.
