“spending is the way out of recession .....” Of course it is but how do you spend when unemployment is high, banks don't lend money, applications for mortgages are almost impossible to get, the gas is still at almost 4 dollars and there is a rumor of a second recession ......

I would like to be a polititian in my country:

@2. the answer is either using reserves or borrowing. The problem with borrowing is that some organisations (such as the IMF), tend to lend with the condition that spending is reduced. that is what this gentleman is questioning.

Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has restored dignity to many Argentines.
The great virtue that can display the model developed country since 2003 is to sustain a steady economic and social growth that reaches all alike.
The fact is explained to have won by more than 50% in the primaries.
The universal child allowance in addition to address situations that have not been able to solve, by years of unemployment has also reduced the degree of exploitation that could be achieved by the desperation of the people ...
This economic growth is supported by a diversified productive matrix also based on value added, employment generation and, crucially, on social inclusion.
Argentina now has a domestic market growing strong and powerful it grows, consumes and exports growth develops in general in a long time had no country.
Externally has restored dignity to the Argentine people.
She has managed to grow global awareness of the conflict. Latin America supports the claims, both as MERCOSUR and UNASUR United Nations.
It is a way of dealing together with economic and military aggression of the United States and Britain in 500 years of history.

The problem with borrowing is not only the IMF; the main problem is that, if debt grows faster than the ability to repay, creditors will stop lending. Thus we have sovereign debt crisis.
