Its main doctrine is massive government spending (as evidenced by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) in excess of $1 trillion, which is funded by massive borrowing through U.S. Treasury bonds[1]. With unemployment at 10.2% as of October 2009[2] and value of the U.S. dollar plummeting[3], it is proving to be a failed system.
