you can ask anyone you want but no one can explain how the liberals can stimulate the economy with tax and spent unless they kidnap inventors and make them invent new products at the point of a gun!!
And not just that:
When the funding for a government-funded job runs out, the job is over. It doesn't keep going on. The position goes away, and the person filling it is unemployed.
Liberals cannot grasp that.
Actually, I can indeed. It is you who is missing the point. But then, all the studies do say that cons are stupid.
You see me poor ignorant con, what the theory is and what history has proven to be true, is that stimulus does not intend for jobs in the gov to be permanent. Apparently you missed that whole economics lecture. the idea is that by putting money into stimulus programs, the economy is, as you may guess (if you only had a brain), stimulated. So, I know you do not want to here this. Because it is so not supply side economics. But try to pay attention, so that you at least understand the theory.
So, gov money pays for projects. The projects need work done. In most cases that means hiring contractors. so you put money into the hands of both private and gov workers. And, if you care to follow along, you would see that, by definition, employment is increased and unemployment is decreased. Now, those new projects may need capital equipment. Everything from hammers to trackhoes. Which causes money to go to companies that make and sell that capital equipment. And the workers need clothes, they need to buy lunch, and etcetera. So, now you see the multiplier. The multiplier effect is working. Every dollar of stimulus puts multiple dollars into the economy. Not for saving, but for enterprise.
Once under way, the economy will take care of itself. Projects end, new projects start. People buy stuff. Cars, vacations, and so on. And the good old capitalistic wonderland is off and running until the next major recession.
Now, I suspect I lost you after the first sentence. Let me know if you want more definition. Though I am sure that you do not. Easier to believe what you want to believe, eh daveman.
