The reason why I focus on the "net benefit" is how else can we judge if our leadership is being successful? Everything else seems to require oversimplified assumptions to a very complex situation.
It's precisely that it is a difficult question to answer that I find it interesting how people are so willing to do just that.
Obama might face similar challenges in the next 4 years, and the cost to Americans in terms of debt and lives could be steep. Are we willing to write such sacrifice off the books because it's too easy for most people to just flip channels?
It smells like someone is cooking the books, leaving just another bubble to burst.
