Now one of its only reliable sources of fuel is running out: federal stimulus spending.

One need only read to sentence two to find the false premise upon which this argument is based. Federal spending actually decreases GDP by twenty cents on the dollar. The so-called 'stimulus' bill has resulted in a $160 billion reduction in GDP.

If this government really wants to stimulate economic growth, they should do three things:

1. Return certainty to the markets. All this talk of raising capital gains taxes, carbon taxes, fuel taxes, electricity rates will only discourage investment. Permanently ditch the carbon tax, and announce for the next five years that corporate taxes and capital gains taxes will be eliminated, and watch the investment dollars roll in.
2. Shut down Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac. The mortgage industry should remain in the hands of the private sector, and should not face an unfair competititor with a bottomless wallet.
3. Reduce federal spending to 19% of GDP. The only way to stop the bleeding is to stop bleeding.
