Here is a quote from Barry Obama's State of the Union Address that I believe need some scrutiny.
“History reminds us that, at every moment of economic upheaval and transformation, this nation has responded with bold action and big ideas,”
One time that happened, you fear monger!  In fact the one time it this nation responded with "bold action" and "big ideas" we got stuck in a depression for ten years.  How dare this man turn history around to fit his political agenda!  So let's have a dose of real history.
This is the twentieth economic "crisis" our country has faced.  Some times there have been long recessions, and sometimes we have seen short ones.  There has been more than one Depression in this country, but the one referred to as the "Great" Depression was in fact worsened by the "bold ideas" that this new president speaks so highly of.  This was the one time we used "big ideas" and it failed.  Now Barry is standing in front of the country telling us this is something we always do and that it is successful.  Again with the Ashlee Simpson act.  I'm hearing one thing but if I look for myself I'm seeing something completely different.
