“There is absolutely no coherent plan here of any definition, simply nothing. It’s like 100 people standing around and estimating the price of a house, or a car, or a piece of art. Just talking out their asses, spouting off a number.”
COrrect. and the dangerous thing is once one idiot pulls a big number out of his ass (thanks Secty Paulson), all these Washington socialists feel entitled to do the same.
IT IS AN ABSOLUTELY AND TOTALLY INSANE IDEA to waste hundreds of billions of Govt money to put our country into debt. It doesnt create jobs, since you rob from one pocket to pay another pocket. It will not do economic good long-term, it will add to the debt and deficit down the road.
Better we go through the recession and come out in stronger fiscal shape and lower tax rates.
“Better we go through the recession and come out in stronger fiscal shape and lower tax rates.”
Unavoidable. But, just think how that idea would sell, then you can quickly forget it. Now we’re engaged in this asinine bidding war, in effect, which is going to apply some implied level of “courage” to those who can spout higher and higher numbers. We started with $700 billion on HenryMania. Wasn’t enough, had to bump it to $850 bil. It’s literally just like an ebay auction, except with billions of dollars. It will accomplish nothing other than to transfer money from one set of hands to another. It’ll be the audacity of having a bigger number come out of someone’s mouth. Wow.
