My point is, what makes this recession so different than the one during the Clinton presidency and the one after 9/11?

We didn't spend $1 Trillion dollars back then, instead tax rates were cut to allow people to keep more of their money, and people started spending, companies had money for investment and to create jobs. Yes, there was some increased government spending on defense and security, but not $1 trillion worth.

If this proposed plan goes through and we all get "welfare" from the government, the economy will get worse, and who is going to pay for all this? Companies and small-business owners (aka "The Rich" - according to Dems definition).
