LA Times Wants More Stimulus
2010-07-01
Seedy Politicians because it seems to me they're shilling for O.
With home sales sliding, employers reluctant to hire due to zeronomics and world stock markets gyrating wildly, the U.S. economy is in danger of stalling. Now one of its only reliable sources of fuel is running out: federal stimulus spending.
I swore some of it was going to take years to spend. It's all gone? Sucked up?
Funds flowing from the $787-billion legislation passed last year have helped create hundreds of thousands of jobs and propped up social programs such as unemployment benefits. But with much of that money spent and lawmakers reluctant to approve another big round of spending, concerns are rising about what will replace it in the short term to keep the economy moving.

#8  LOL Rex - My current bridge job goes over train/trolley tracks, so we see BN&SF trains every day (many of which have been tagged when sitting idle - elsewhere?) . Yesterday I saw a BN&SF engine with "Needs More Cowbell" painted prominently on the side. I immediately got a Christopher Walken/SNL flashback

#5  Arrrggg!

Sometimes I think we need to [figurativly] beat it in these idiots....

Government does not create wealth. Government can't create wealth. Goverment consumes wealth. Sometimes it may facilitate Private Industry in creating wealth. But Government, in itself, cannot create wealth.

Never has, never will. It's the nature of the beast.
