A no BS, non partisan examination of the success of Obama's stimulus package

[Billy000]

When the money is paid back with interest, you will have the total equation. It is only then that you can debate it's merits.

Bush's tax cuts were more expensive than the Recovery Act. When will see that money back?

Since when does the federal government own my wages?

Since the constitution was drafted

What the hell do you think pays for our public school system and fabulous armed forces? TAXES. Less revenue means more borrowing. Over spending is the problem, Not the concept of spending.

Schools and armed forces aren't the spending problem

Never. They were cuts. You don't have to print money to cut taxes.

It astounds me how many of you don't understand our economic system. Taxes pay the government's expenses. Without them, we borrow more. That puts us more in debt. Tax cuts and over spending amount to the same thing.

Why would you want to continue to give the government more money to spend while they are continuing to spend more than they bring in? If you were trying to help a family member or friend who was in debt by giving them money to pay it off but they continued to spend at the same rate or even increase their spending you wouldn't continue to give them money unless you wanted to end up broke yourself.

Neither Bush or Obama are responsible for that expenditure. What you are talking about is mandatory spending. Defense is our second highest expense and the highest expense in terms of presidential policy.

Revenue is what is saving us from being even more in debt. Like I said, lets cap spending, but lets also raise revenue.

The stimulus used to be the most failed piece of government policy ever. And then Obamacare came along.

This is simply a rehash of the standard right and left talking points tax cuts bad spending good or if your from the right tax cuts good spending bad.

Tax cutting is spending.

Oh my the far left logic on display here just goes to show why they should not be in charge of anything.

How could the Bush tax cuts be more expensive when they didn't cost anything?

Just because republicans told you tax cuts dont cost anything doesnt mean they were telling you the truth

Far left propaganda!

How are you not getting this? Taxes is a necessary evil. It is what funds our government. The founding fathers fought against taxation without representation, they did not stand against taxation itself.

Tell me, if it isn't in the constitution, who decided that we pay taxes and when?

I'm my own, man, Billy; unlike you, I don't need talking points. Tax cuts don't cost anything because the money doesn't belong to the government in the first place, therefore you can't expense what isn't yours. Spending more than they take in is what costs us.

More proof the far left does not understand the Constitution, but does show their socialist mindset.

And yet you can't back that claim with actual facts.

That wasn't the question. Show me where in the Constitution it says my paycheck belongs to the government.

You people crack me up lol. I bet I could explain this to a random 6 year old on the street and they would understand the logic in it.

A no BS, non partisan, incomplete examination of the success, or failure of the Obama's stimulus package, because all of the variables are not in.

I have an MBA, Billy. I'm pretty sure you won't be schooling me on anything anytime in the near or far future.
