The government does not HAVE to take from the private sector and in fact it could give to the private sector in a stimulus. Perhaps like the 2009 stimulus with its almost 300 billion in tax cuts. <br /><br />Unfortunately when arguing the stimulus, republicans had to argue against themselves and the fact that the tax cuts were found to be the least effective method in the 2009 stimulus. LMAO.<br /><br />@Chris, the video intentionally leaves out something. The heavily indebted nations it mentions could be better off without a stimulus only if they are incapable of withstanding the shock of government consumption. The US is able to handle that and willing also. While we gripe about prices we as a nation haven't yet stopped totally consuming.JoeCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-22233061215672691552011-09-08T15:04:02.922-04:002011-09-08T15:04:02.922-04:00Campaign Speech in front of a joint session of Con...Campaign Speech in front of a joint session of Congress!

They can contrast their plans with Obama's at a later date after people have chewed on the Obama plan and realize they have already eaten it and it tasted like crape.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905362327313044045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-2548876089254405282011-09-08T09:48:59.342-04:002011-09-08T09:48:59.342-04:00Just heard that Michelle Bachmann will give a resp...Just heard that Michelle Bachmann will give a response to Obama's speech tonight - not sure if it's Michelle the candidate or Michelle speaking for the Republican Party - In either case it's a HUGE mistake!!! It will piss off the football fans, like me, if the networks carry it - and it will give gravitas to whatever Obama says - which will be 30 minutes of same old same old - she should sit down and shut up and NOT give Obama's speech any credence!

The government cannot 'create' a job nor create wealth - it can only consume wealth and we have a master consumer in the White House!FIREBIRDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01379814857388579908noreply@blogger.com
