You're right. We should have handed out another $500 to everyone and given the oil companies another $15 billion tax break, that seemed to work quite well. Better yet this time how about some hefty tax breaks for the health industry, after all they are spending quite a bit of money to brainwash the ignorant of the truth.
government should stay out of private affairs entirely. how about the proposed idea that gee, maybe the financial system WOULDN'T be headed toward ruin if the government hadn't taken management/equity positions in private businesses...and bailing out the leveraged financial firms that backed this whole entire phoney system of credit?
how about the idea that these financial giants WOULDN'T have failed without government stimulus? they were simply PROVIDED the money they'd lost
has it OCCURED to them that borrowing/spending is what killed our economy, and now the government promotes such schemes like "cash for clunkers?"
does it OCCUR to them that production=prosperity and not printing, or funding projects to "improve our infrastructure- bridges, roads, etc...which doesn't stimulate production either. When the job's done, where are these people gonna go to find work?
of course it's occured to them. but what benefits them does not benefit us, and they're not interested in that
