When Bush proposed the 2001 tax cuts the Rats derided it as worthless and "only $300, a muffler for your car". Now when THEY propose a ONE TIME gimme of $300 it is the beat all to end all.

It is interesting to me that Rich Dumbocrats always seem to be the ones saying that the rich wouldn't use a tax break to the benefit anyone but themselves. For example, the rich wouldn't really worry about job creation, they'd selfishly hoard their money and watch the poor starve. It makes me wonder--how many jobs did the former trial attorney created during the "great Clinton economy"? For that matter, how many jobs have the gods of the dumbocrats, Bill and Hillary, created? Perhaps the real reason these misguided souls trash Bush's stimulus plan is because they are really the greedy, self-centered demons that they try to make conservatives out to be...... hmmmmmmm.....

I have encountered the argument that when the government spends money, it stimulates the economy just as well as when citizens spend it. Argue a bit with a lib and you'll hear this.

The answer is:
Money is just a way to shuttle value between goods and services. When an individual or private business spends money on capital, you can be sure that the private person is spending (as they see it) in the most efficient way - otherwise, the private person or business will soon be without capital.
However, when the government spends it, there is no accountability (threats of loss or bankruptcy) and therefor the money will be spent inefficiently (in the economy as a whole).

These dumb ass democrats will never get it. Its like once they are indoctrinated into the democratic party they also get a lobotomy and are incapable of independent thought. Keynes' theories are flawed but they really suit the democratic ideology. Wasn't Edwards largest contributer group trial lawyers ? This guy would be worse than the Klintons, a potential disaster again. Inside every democrat is a communist wanting to come out of the closet.
