Will go into more detail later but for now...

No, you want to blow off my argument because it's reasonable

"Get your head out of Ron Paul's ass" is your idea of reasonable? Hilarious and entirely nonsense given that I hadn't even been quoted Ron Paul in the first place. It's one thing to resort to ad hominem attacks but it's quite another to try to and fail to get them right.

Besides, yes not all recessions are the same but that's no excuse to just entirely dismiss the whole question, that's nirvana fallacy. If we went by the theory of "any comparison that's not exact to the smallest detail is entirely invalid," we'd never learn anything.

Another thing Cons and Libertarians seem to not care about: Familes and kids starving and dying isn't the same as hitchhiking or having to walk to work, while your car is in the shop. Best do anything you can to try to save people. I've read that it's estimated a combined total of close to 12 million Americans died from starvation in Depression. A lot more would have died if nothing was done.

This is a real pet peeve of mine. Nit picking an analogy does not make you look smart. It makes you look like you don't know what an analogy is.

Besides, yes! Save the children...by starting up a huge government plan and tax everyone to fund it thus making the populace even POORER. Typical politician reaction to...well pretty much everything.
