Keep your fingers crossed the economy doesnt show any progress in the next couple of months and keep praying for job losses.
We know how much you want the country to recover even if means a loss for the republican party.
Very poor attempt of a deflection from the topic.
We want a recovery. Only a fool would think that a trillion dollars wont help. But we beleive that it will actually slow a recovery...and it seems to be doing just that.
The recovery was created by Obama policy, it has slowed because the corps are not hiring and the banks are not loaning money not to mention the losses to the economy given to us by a MAJOR disaster in the gulf that Bleed jobs.
We simply dont want people to think that thge only way to help an economy is with a stimulus.
You are ******* insane if you think the jobs saved by the stim were bad for the economy. Monitary infusion from ANYWHERE is good for any economy. It slows a recovery and creates a bigger mess for future generations....so of course we like to point out the negatives of the recovery we are experiencing.
How does stablizing the freefall of a economy harm anyone? Its all a partisan lie with NO real world physical proof.
We are trying to wake people up to reality.
No you are lapping up pablum
To my wife, if I went on the roof and put a piece of plastic over the hole, the roof is fixed!
To me, it was a foolish way to repair the problem...and it will be that much more difficult for me to convince my wife that there is a better more efficient way to fix it.....and I will try to show her why...
That does not mean I want the plastic to fail.
You analogy failed to make sense
No it didnt.
I will lay it out for you.
Leaking roof=failing economy
Stimulus=piece of plastic (per the rights explanation of the stimulus)
small up tick in economy with stimulus=no noticeable drip in roof due to plastic
Economy better off with tax rebates for every hire made=Full repair of the roof (per rights beleifs).
The stimulus shows some positive change...but not what it could be.
Plastic shows NO drip, but it so small, it is there but cant be seen.
Someone with no knowledge of economic factors would say "look, the stimulus is working"
Someone with no knowledge orf roofing systems would say "look, that plastic fixed the problem"
On the right we are saying "sure iot seems to be working, but there is a more effcient way to fix the economy...and with a stimulus we are creating problems down the road for our economy
To my wife, I would say "sure, it seems to be fixed, but there is a more efficient way. The plastic is still letting moisture in and it will ujltimately rot the rafters creating bigger problems"
It is not that I want the plastic to fail. It is not that the plastic is not acting as a band aid...but it will create bigger problems down the raod.
It is a valid analogy. You may not agree with my sentiments of the stimulus, but the analogy is sound.
It is not that I want the stimulus to fail. It is that I do not want poeople to think it is the best solution anbd the solution we should continually employ.
It is a very valid and sound analogy.
