GG Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I don't suppose you can dig up Zandi's original projections of what the stimulus plan would accomplish in 2009? How did that prediction work out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Spending less is always a bad thing when you're underwater in your mortgage, have two car loans, Comcast/TWC/Verizon triple play, smartphones with two year data plan, no salary increase in sight, a fishing boat, summer cottage, RV, three flat screen TVs and an iPad for everyone in the house. That stuff's a lot more important than buying healthcare insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_In_Norfolk Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Good. The fact that 1.3 million jobs would be created (or saved) by increased government spending is simply an indication that the government spending is excessive and exerts far too much effect on the economy. Uh-huh..."We're responsible for you so you don't have to be." Good plan...if you're a nine year old. Good? Are you a social Darwinist or just a regular jerk? Also, doesn't it show that the sacred free market isn't doing enough? If you call this plan "being responsible" you are just being stupid. But I already knew that about you. I love your non-partisan stance here, too, btw I don't suppose you can dig up Zandi's original projections of what the stimulus plan would accomplish in 2009? How did that prediction work out? Probably better than all the Conservatives who predicted Bill Clinton's tax increase would "kill, I telling it's going to just KILL the economy!"

GG Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Probably better than all the Conservatives who predicted Bill Clinton's tax increase would "kill, I telling it's going to just KILL the economy!" Was that the tax increase that caused the economic growth to dip in his first term and threatened his re election? Or are you talking about the capital gains tax CUT that he put in place in his second term that fueled the dot com bubble?

DC Tom Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Good? Are you a social Darwinist or just a regular jerk? Darwinist. Also, doesn't it show that the sacred free market isn't doing enough? Nope. It shows there is no free market; the government's too involved. If you call this plan "being responsible" you are just being stupid. But I already knew that about you. I love your non-partisan stance here, too, btw So spending money you don't have to take care of people who shouldn't need to be babied is "responsible"? This is why I'm a social Darwinist. People like you deserve to be naturally selected against. Was that the tax increase that caused the economic growth to dip in his first term and threatened his re election?
