Ah, therein lies the rub! You claim that the stimulus was a failure (in spite of what every reputable economist has stated). You also state that Obama requested 800 billion.
You neglect to mention the portion of the stimulus that the GOP/Teabaggers directed towards the rich and corporations, which was NOT an Obama request. So, while a stimulus bill failed, in your lone mind, it wasn't anything close to what Obama requested. At some point, "trickle-down" adherents will have to take responsibility for 30+ years of lies...
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. 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.
