Please re-read what I wrote. Your characterization of what I wrote is not accurate.

Regarding your "truism:" I bet you didn't know there was a name for it. It's called Ricardian Equivalence. It is far from being accepted as a "truism," never mind as truth.
There is a vast literature on the matter, just a few clicks away.

I am assuming this is meant to be condescending. And, for the sake of moving forward, let's assume I am not well read and just look at facts. Our economy has lost jobs on a net basis in2009. AEI is suggesting 2010 will not be better as a result of current government plans. I am suggesting 2010 will not be better as a result of government plans. What can make 2010 better is private sector activity. If all government had to do was to spend more money, solving unemployment would be pretty easy, don't you agree?
