Remember when Obama said that we could stop unemployment from reaching double digits by spending $1 trillion?  Could you imagine going to a cobbler, having him tell you he could fix your shoes for $1000, and having the soles fall off shortly thereafter?

In this case it’s more like we agreed to buy the $1000 shoes, but they’ve only accepted $50 from us and we’re still wearing the old shoes.
