The policies have not yet failed, they stopped the massive slide into depression caused by the greed of the wing nut right's reactionary agenda, and we have a long crawl up out of the mud.
Or did that slide stop all by itself? We'll never know.
And if the slide was stopped why all the new spending? 26 Billion with all kinds of strings attached to states, another round of 10 billion to seniors etc etc
Only half the so called stimulus has been spent and real unemployment is something like 15% so tell me what are your progressive heroes waiting for?
(1) We do know that it has stopped the massive slide: check the stock market and all the economic indicators; (2) 1/2 of stimulus money to be spent means good things ahead; and (3) compared to the height of Reagan's bad years, the unemployment rate is 9.5 to compared to RR's 10.8 and the actual RR employment rate near 18.5%.
We the People are going in the right direction, and you are welcome to come join.
