Republicans oppose economic stimulus

[Oddball]

because the government spending money doesn't fix the economy, but the government taking less money from the people is a whole different story

Exactly HOW MANY jobs were created by extending the Bush tax cuts on the wealthy, err, I mean "job creators"?

That would be ZERO. FUCKING ZERO.

Yeah, but a jillion squillion jobs were "saved".

So, in essence, you are agreeing that extending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy did nothing for unemployment?

it did not...no.

You know...if you have a leak in a boat...and you fix it....but while fixing it you decided to also install a new floor drain...and you cut corners and decided to not use any type of washer on the new drain....

Your boat will still have a leak....even though you did the smart thing and fixed the leak.

No, they like real Americans are tired of the spending by the nitwit dimwits.

No, I'm throwing the hopelessly flawed "jobs saved" rubric back at y'all.

You want to buy into the bullshit if it makes your boy look good, then it only follows......

More like that you plugged the leak in one end of the boat, then shot several holes in the other end, then claim that the plug didn't work.

Because the first $800,000,000,000 in stimulus done nothing to fix the economy. Einstein once said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result.

Noone ever claimed extending them would create jobs. But I remember the whole create or save debacle that Obama spewed that resulted in wasted billions without ever creating one job, all that happened was 2 million people went to the unemployment lines.

Who said it does?

 

[Avatar4321]

Why on earth would we support something that will not do what it claims to do but put us further in debt?

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

It did in the 40's

but the government taking less money from the people is a whole different story

Depends. If they're taking less money from those who aren't spending it - it won't do much good.

We've had a trillion $$ of stimulus... and the economy is far worse.

Its quite obvious to anyone with a basic understanding of economics that less spending would have made the economy worse than it is now.

 

[asterism]

We've had a trillion $$ of stimulus... and the economy is far worse.

GDP when Obama took office, annualized: 13.893T
GDP in the latest quarter, annualized: 14.996T.

Less than one percent of total economic growth over 32 months is indeed far worse. That's why unemployment continues to be higher than Obama and his team predicted.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Economists were uniform in their reaction to the GOP's letter to Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke -- mind your own business.

Dan Greenhaus, chief strategist at BTIG Strategy, writes "virtually every sober minded analyst in the country would believe that to the extent we have a central bank, that central bank should be as divorced from politicians as is humanly possible." In other words, the Fed should remain "independent."

The Fed does not put us into debt when it buys and sells securities on the open market.

I got a better question for you then 2000-2008 unemployment was between 4 and 6% ending at just under 5%. Within a year of obama being elected unemployment literally doubled and was further increased by 3% AFTER his first trillion dollar stimulus.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the definition of insanity doing the same thing and expecting a different result?

If you ad 2+2 and get 4 do you think the next time you try your gonna get 5?
