DC Tom Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 The just say no Congress is still saying no The just say no Congress never said no to the $800-billion dollar stimulous package that was supposed to address infrastructure. So your response is pointless, counter-factual, and you may return to Chef Jim's question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a Congress that had leadership from people like Pelosi that got things done. Unlike that punk Paul Ryan who probably can't wipe his own butt Chef kim. Please stop responding to him Chef, this brain tumor of a poster is bullying you. The boards lowest poster is telling you what to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koko78 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Does anyone know what infrastructure was fixed with the 800 billion dollars? It bought a lot of signs to let us know that things like minimal roadwork were being paid for with the $800 billion. That's sort of like infrastructure.

Doc Brown Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Does anyone know what infrastructure was fixed with the 800 billion dollars? Only 33 billion of the stimulus package went to infrastructure. The rest went to tax breaks for the middle class (about $10 a paycheck), entitlements (medicaid, medicare, food stamps, unemployment), and education. It helped a little with recovering from the '08 crash, but was underwhelming since it was spread out over so many different areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even remotely the point, which was that Congress passed an infrastructure spending bill that did so little that gatorman sees fit to B word about not having an infrastructure bill passed. His argument, as usual, is !@#$ed up the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I think you pettifog yourself into a knot at times. You opined that the Republicans are holding up infrastructure repair. I pointed out that when infrastructure bills weren't held up, the resulting expenditures did so damn little that you're still bitching about Republicans not funding infrastructure. That's not a minor quibble; that's a direct rebuttal of your claim that the Republicans are responsible for not addressing something that wasn't done even when it was addressed. Anyone not a complete halfwit like yourself would understand that's evidence of the issue being somewhere other than in a partisan Congress.

It helped a little with recovering from the '08 crash, but was underwhelming since it was spread out over so many different areas.Just over $100 billion was allocated to infrastructure. Much of the "education and welfare" allocation was done to cushion the impact on state budgets since they are required to balance annually; otherwise they would've been forced into further contractionary policies, causing a deeper downturn. That's the main point of stimulus in recessions, to prevent it from becoming a depression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the main point of stimulus in recessions, to prevent it from becoming a depression. I just went by this graph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
