The "Stim" Is WORKING!!!!!

[Mr. Shaman]

Again I ask....what happens when stim money is gone, and the government money dries up.

Where's your precedent to show the benefits will be zero???

There ARE none!!​

Top Gun has it right. It takes time for any economic change to happen. It will take several months to evaluate whether or not the Stim Packages worked.

One with an interest in truth, rather than propaganda, and rather than making taunting comments that 'my side is right and your side in wrong' might also note that the first Stim package was passed during the time the much despised GWB was still President.

And by the way, I am a Socialist.

Other than history....no I have no precedent at all. Where's your precedent that it will be this great benefit?

 

[Andy]

Show me.

​

Show you? That's American government 101. That's high school level education. Didn't you go to high school? If you did, and did not learn this, then your high school sucks. If you didn't go, then that explains why you are the least informed person on this forum.

No one should have to tell you basic stuff like this. Go look it up on wiki for heaven sake. You know, go learn something on your own instead of having to be taught everything a high schooler should know.

Ah, yes....the ol' change-o'-subject tactic

Its the same subject... Hiding money so that it doesn't show up in the budget.

(after gettin' your butt kicked).

HA HA HA, you and Pocket must be in a contest to see who can be more immature.

So the CBO, Congressional Budgeting Office, is spreading propaganda when they say there will be some short term benefits but the stimulus will stifle the economy in the long run due to unsustainable debt levels?

And by the way, I am a Socialist.

Its nice to see people who have taken the time to really look at themselves introspectively in order to proudly declare what it is they believe in, you have my respect for that.

I am Capitalist, Libertarian, Conservative.

A socialist policy passed under any administration, is still a bad idea. No one denies that Bush was the first to pass it. That doesn't even remotely mean it was a good idea, or that it will not have long term devastating consequences.

It didn't work in the UK, hasn't worked throughout the European Union, hasn't worked in a bunch of locations, and it sure won't work here.

When an idea fails every time it's tried, only a socialist will say we just didn't give it enough of a chance.

Democrat controlled congress now - Economy sucks Obama Pres
Democratic controlled congress - Economy sucked Last 2 yrs of Bush Terms
Republican controlled congress - Economy good Clinton Yrs


It's the congress that writes the budgets and not the president.

And Pelosi has been doing a piss poor job since she and her dem buddies has gotten the majority power in both parts of the congress.

And knowing how the truth is sooo important to ya (not) I'm sure you'll tell the truth now and admit that economies don't drop into depression overnight.

That being the hard and true case it's obvious that the Bush & Republicant gang having full and absolute power for over 6 of the 8 Bush years drove into this deep ditch!

 

[chestnut]

What's "overnight"?
Dems have had control in congress since 2007. That's about the time the problems started.

 

[BigRob]

....At least, it looks that way.....seeing-as-how our military-expenses (in The Middle East) are, now, part of the budget.....rather than hiding them thru special-appropriations.

You Bush-fans will fall for ANYTHING!

​

Shaman, you simply do not get the budgeting process. The President is trying to predict what a war will cost. These are usually drastically off. Passing the funding through supplement funding legislation gets you the actual price, as opposed to a random guess, usually then followed by more funding legislation.

Simply writing this into the budget before hand is irrelevant because you cannot predict the price of war... hence why war funding is done the way it was done.
