I got the impression that the writer doesn't quite understand that the US is still in a very deep recession because of the failure of president Obama's stimulus package and borrowing 40% of its 3.5 trillion budget, 60% from the Federal Reserve Bank, which is highly inflationary. At the same time corporate profits and GDP are shrinking and the US and Europe are sliding into a second recession. We'd already be in recession if not for the three rounds of Quantitative Easing, which has already devalued consumers purchasing power through quantity depreciation in the supermarket. It's only a matter of time before price inflation returns. In short, there is no recovery on the horizion which means that Barack Obama and Bill Clinton lied to the American people repeatedly during the campaign.

The Times wants to add 250,000 Arkansans to Medicaid at a time when the program is 350 million short of state funding and there is a looming budget crisis in Washington DC. Yet every writer at this paper will attribute the entire federal deficit and debt to George W. Bush. It's as if they don't understand just how much trouble this country is in and actually, could care less - just as long as they funnel millions of dollars to people they needed to maintian their power needs in the last election. The 2012 election was the beginning of the Second Great Depression and the people who will suffer the most are the very people the Democrats seek to elevate above all others!
