"The stimulus only delayed the inevitable, and will make the inevitable collapse all that much worse."

Pushing those taxes and social engineering experiments as far up the line as they can go is inevitably doomed.

The politicos did, however, try even to push the costs overseas, even to the ChiComs.

Two things about the stimulus.

First, it was wasted on non-stimulating expenditures. Only 6% were spent on our "eroding infrastructure."

Second, whatever effect the stimulus was supposed to produce was counteracted by the promise of government action that will crush the economy. Healtcare, Cap and Trade, Banking Reform.

In the end all we got was an extra trillion dollars to pay off some day in the future.
