Fed chairman gets letter from GOP leaders: No stimulus - Sep. 21, 2011
Yup, their goal is to stiffle any economic growth before the 2012 elections. Another excellent example of their platform of "Party over Country"
Are you saying a second stimulus would improve the economy? It didn't under the first one.
Prove it didn't. This is one more example of a parrot offering a 'truth' without any proof or supporting evidence.
Prove the economy didn't improve under the first stimulus?
Unemployment rate in January 2009: 7.8% link
Unemployment rate today: 9.1% link
That is not improvement. Retract your accusation of me being a "parrot" and not offering any proof or supporting evidence.
Labor participation rate in January 2009: 65.5% link
Labor participation rate today: 64.0% link
Define "improve";
Things are better now than they were before. That would be an improvement.
remember, we were on the brink of collapse in January 2009 when President Obama took the oath of office.
That is what is being said now. Back then we were being told that things would get very bad and would eventually recover or things would improve faster if the ARRA was implemented.
The "brink of collapse" was before Obama took office. We can debate whether TARP saved us if you'd like.
Prove, or at least make an argument sans cliches and talking points, that the UE rate would not be 15% or more if he had not passed the stimulus act?
15%? Where are you getting that rate? Who predicted 15% without the stimulus?
