After Obama's stimulus bill was a disaster at creating jobs, I don't think people wanted another 500 million spent on something else that would not work either. In the past when government did nothing the economy rebounded much better than doing all this spending that has gotten us no where.

A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
