We Liberals complained that Bush ran up the Deficit, now Obama is gonna fix...

...it by running it even higher!? It only makes common sense...

When you run up record Deficits, the only way to remedy it is to run the Deficit even higher.

I ain't no Alfred Einstein but I do know Economics 101 people!

The only way to bring down the Deficit, is to make it BIGGER!

"Yes We Did!"

Very Big of you Wookie boy.

Now to the question;
Well yes it is a little strange, particularly when it's so simplified. But with a simplistic view of the economy you could also say during an economic down-turn people should spend less and save their money, in reality they need to spend more. Of-course it becomes much more complicated when you're dealing with an entire economy and money that doesn't actually physically exist. Not to mention the fact that politicians have to please a multitude of different sides while trying not to step on other politicians feet. Result is you often get policies that may appear well thought out but are in fact terrible and vice-versa. Personally, I'm reserving judgment for now. Giving it alittle time to see how it plays out.
