Stimulus is easier to describe

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) Jan 30 '09, 11:53

Banks, I know very little about the financial markets. I'll save that for people much smarter than me who understand the causes and now to prevent this from happening again in the future.

Stimulus: I am not against the idea of a stimulus/job growth package. I am against the idea that it's the government's responsibility to create jobs for citizens. I am against the size of the stimulus package. I am against several of the items in this package which 3-4 months were just Obama policy initiatives but now are all of a sudden needed for "stimulus". I am for limited government intervention whenever possible, relying on supply side economics to further economic growth.

so - even if we're facing a national unemployment rate in the double digits, you don't think the government should try to create some job opportunity? -- nm - Guy Jan 30, 11:57 2
- Absolutely. The best way? Cut business taxes. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 30, 12:00
- The government can provide an healthy environment for job growth to naturally occur - Strongbad Jan 30, 11:59
