Well, globalism and intervention haven't contributed to the quality and protection of life either, as they have made us no safer than we were in 2001 and significantly less prosperous. One of the primary reasons that economic recovery remains elusive has nothing to do with the stimulus. The stimulus was a red herring; it masked a power-grab by the progressives with the economy as an excuse. There was no way that the stimulus was going to fix anything. It has not failed, as that is not what it was intended to do. In fact, the stimulus was very, very successful; brilliantly so.
The reason that the economy has failed to improve is that the backbone has been long removed from America's economy: Globalism has sent our heavy industry overseas. Americans don't have jobs because there are not any jobs to give them. And need I remind anyone that the road to globalism was not paved by the progressives. It was, rather, a betrayal of of the principles of conservatism by the members of the Republican Party.
