Obama Stimulus Turns Three: What Has It Achieved?

Quote from 377OHMS:

I didn't think I was grousing there, just stating my view of the situation.

The country is being incentivized to not achieve, profit, explore or advance.

People will come to regard sitting around playing video games and waiting for a government check to be normal. People who manage to make money will be regarded as villains.

If I'm coming off as embittered I do apologize. I speak from a sense of loss.

I do think, however, that the BS about the GOP being racist is plainly stupid.

Perception is politics, 377. Newt and South Carolina did not help.

Most of what RCG spews forth is racist and/or stupid.

Quote from 007Arb:

What has the Obama stimulus achieved??? Well, if you were a trader/investor your net worth has increased substancially over the past three years as evidenced by the rise in the various stock market/ junk bond indexes. And no, I am not an Obama fan
but were I voting with my pocketbook and not my heart he would definitely have my vote in 2012.

Vote with your heart, if you are good trader you can make living no matter which clown the dumbos will vote in.

Now you can go ahead with your premise. But, just because the right keeps repeating things over and over, doesn't make them, well, right or even factual.

So what was wrong about the OP? Don't try to redirect, just address the original article and point out the items that are incorrect.

Water puts out fires.
Water was put on this fire.
This fire is still burning.
Therefore water does not put out fires.

The stimulus was just a giant payoff to Obama donors and other cronies of the administration. This has been proven by many reports and analysis.

Remember how he harped about "shovel-ready jobs" to be created from stimulus money? And then later admitted, "there are not shovel-ready jobs".

Instead of that money going to pay off supporters like you said.... what if the stimulus HAD been used to hire unemployeds to repair roads and bridges?

And 50% of Americans are STILL Odumbo supporters?? 4 more years of that asshole? How could we survive it?

This sounds like you think that stimulus spending, applied in the right way, can work. Is that what you think?

Scat can confirm, but I think what he means is that he is against all such spending, but if it absolutely HAD to be spent, there were far better ways to do it.

Gnome is living in some delusional world where he thinks it is 1777, and there is no history to consider. How would you cut that spending, TODAY, right now, this minute, in the historical context in which it exists?
