And o...I can't disagree with eliminating spending. And of course I agree they should just leave it alone, and then follow up by working on the root problem: monetary policy.<BR/><BR/>But let's recall that we're being sold this nonsense as a stimulus to the economy.<BR/><BR/>There is absolutely no argument now that they've removed almost all of the short-term spending that this is just a monster compilation of spending programs intended, as you point out, to buy votes.Paul Kroenkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905336586579220647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450128688601342756.post-55427190125752901282009-02-08T09:16:00.000-06:002009-02-08T09:16:00.000-06:00Eliminating the current year spending is not a bad...Eliminating the current year spending is not a bad thing. The longer the actual disbursement of the pork is delayed, the more possible it becomes to enact new legislation to rescind it before it is spent.<BR/><BR/>The best thing for this country is for the government to stop meddling. The recent upswing in the stock market is a good indicator that the market is ready to recover and wants to recover. As soon as it does, the jobs will return.<BR/><BR/>Anything that can be done to prevent the govt. from spending our money is good. But we, the people must follow through and ensure that the stupid programs are all rescinded and not let them happen. <BR/><BR/>We have elected a bunch of autocrats who want to use our tax dollars to buy the votes of people who don't work or pay taxes. They want to increase the ranks of the non-working and non-tax paying popuation. We must stand up and say "No".<BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/>Gail SGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00687566216115736416noreply@blogger.com
