Best Known Economic Research Firms Says Stimulus Added At Least 1.6 Million Jobs

[Oldandtired]

Doesn't address the logical fallacy of the situation.

Nor do they seem particularly eager to make estimates on how many jobs were destroyed by expropriating funds from the private sector or inflating the currency.

But that's Keynesian voodoo economics for ya.

Why not make a real argument instead of attacking the best Economic Research Firms in the country and the CBO? Let me guess, they're all in Obama's pocket too as one part of a massive conspiracy?

Why are you ignoring the point he is making...and it is a valid point.

Giving company A a million dollars to stay afloat and not giving it to company B....means company A can stay alive and company B will die or layoff.

Employees from company B who are layed off are hired by Company A who now has any business that company B had.

Employees are hired...yes....but after they were layed off....so it is a wash.

That is a job saved AT BEST...not a job created...

And the real loser is the business owner of company B...who lost his business so comapny A can have his business....and maybe both would have died...but likely, both would have survived but with partial layoffs....

It is a classic example of survival of the fittest being tossed to the wind...and the government deciding who will survive and who will not.

You support this?
