Clarence page sure doesnt get it.
“Yet as a fair historical accounting will show, Obama did get things done. He reversed the recession with a stimulus that injected billions into the economy. Recovery has been sluggish and low-wage workers have not benefited as much as upper-income earners. But unemployment is down, and so is the deficit; the stock market, for all of its bounces, has hit record highs”
Reversed the recession? The stimulus injected billions into the economy?
Reversed the recession in his bank accounts. He calls his back pocket "the economy."
“He reversed the recession with a stimulus that injected billions into the economy”
And WHERE did obama get those billions in the first place? Why, those billions were EXTRACTED from the economy in taxes! So, taking money out of the economy, giving it away to waste and fraud and cronyism, and what little that is left over gets put back into the economy, is a recipe for success?
That was a true statement, it did inject billions (probably 3 of them) into the economy. The problem is it cost 1.2 trillion dollars...
“Stimulus” means the government takes money from some people and gives it to other people to dig holes and to other people to fill them up. And this is “injecting money into the economy.”
BTW: Anyone who thinks “the economy” is what happens when people are given “money,” has no idea what economics is about.
