To Rabbi and the rest of the RW monkeys spamming the thread with their anti-Obama monkey speak, try reading the link before acting a pack of wild, angry baboons on the attack:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The massive U.S. stimulus package put millions of people to work and boosted national output by hundreds of billions of dollars in the second quarter, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said on Tuesday.
CBO's latest estimate indicates that the stimulus effort, which remains a political hot potato ahead of the November congressional elections, may have prevented the sluggish U.S. economy from contracting between April and June.
CBO said President Barack Obama's stimulus boosted real GDP in the quarter by between 1.7 percent and 4.5 percent, adding at least $200 billion in economic activity.
This report came from the *NONPARTISAN* CBO, not a left leaning site or organization, no way to palliate yourselves out of this one.
We read it Bass. WE READ IT.
No one is arguing it Bass.
I noticed you did not respond to my post that explained how we saw such "boosts"...
We do not deny the boosts. Of course sales will increase when there is a progrma offering money in return.
Question is...how will that affect later sales?
As we saw with hoime sales...increasing quarter 1 and 2 KILLED quarter 3.
SO no gain at all at the cost of 8K per home sold.
But, of course....why respond to that?
