truthfully, as long as the whole 'obamacare' thing doesnt significantly affect my pockets, i dont mind helping where i can, i mean hell my check gets taxed like a mofo right now esp since i claim 0, but it's helping out the less fortunate, that's overall how i see that situation. everybody is not fortunate to be able to pay for good healthcare.

as far as the business side of thing, i'd like to think the same principle sticks. in essence he had to 'spend' on the banks and auto industry in order to help produce jobs, i dont know how many jobs or even if it was significant enough, but it was enough for the auto companies to pay back w/ interest right, so that principle, helped w/ that situation.

at the end of the day i hope whoever is in office doesnt screw anyone over and not be a asshole about what they gota do.

Not going to nit pick you too bad as I understand your thinking. A couple small things though.

"Less fortunate" is a load of BS. It implies that everyone that decided to work instead of screw around is somehow lucky. Unless you are a lottery winner, there is absolutely zero luck involved in attaining wealth.

One of my favorite quotes, and I have no clue who said it: "Luck is when opportunity and and preparation meet".

Second, the auto companies havent paid back even a small portion of the money Uncle Sam has given them. Current losses on GM alone are around 13B.
