Not content to
thumb their noses at their parents sacrifices, the boomers chose to
embrace immediate gratification via massive debt to fuel their every

now trying to pass the bill onto their great grandchildren via Obama’s
“Stimulus Plan” that will be paid by successive generations.
Up until Reagan, according to Dick Cheney, "proved deficits don't
matter", there were only two reasons for deficit spending, fighting a
war, and fighting a recession. *There were 55,000 announced job cuts on
Monday alone. *Frankly, I'm praying Obama's "Stimulus Plan" is enough. *
This is already going to be a severe recession, without Obama's plan, it
could very well be a depression. *Oh, and if something like the Great
Depression were to hit today, it would cost this country upwards of $20
trillion.

Obama's stimulus plan could go a long way, if he wasn't using it as a power
play. What percent of his plan is actually going to infrastructure, which
was the big selling point around here?


It was loaded with infrastructure and other known economy stimulants.
In an effort to include Republicans in the process, he watered down
the package extensively with things requested by Republicans. Then the
Republicans chose not to support the bill that hwas now loaded with
THEIR bad ideas.


For every dollar you spend in tax cuts for corporations, you get back
about $1.03 in results


For every dollar you spend on infrastructure projects you get back
about $2 in results


Please provide a source to support your statements!

I have never seen this data quoted in any source. *In fact what I have
seen is just the opposite.- Hide quoted text -

He can't, so he will insult you and send you on a wild goose chase...
