do not stop spending in a slow recovery or recession - unless you want a depression. QUOTE] Who says anyone will stop spending. Your inability to understand is amazing. The point is simple, stop spending MORE. You really, truly don't get it. You write junk like building new railroads will help. Are you insane? Do you know how many agencies and hands that money will go through before anyone gets a good train ride? It will never happen. You must have family money. No one spends money like a bona fide limousine liberal. |

![]() And there is nothing wrong with temporary jobs during a recession. It keeps money in people's pockets, keeps businesses from going out of business, etc. I never said "debt is no big deal" - that's your silly saying. We worry about the debt problems after our economy starts booming, we have people with jobs paying taxes again, etc. No - the economy isn't "helping itself", is it? The Bush administration oversaw massive tax cuts to business and massive job layoffs as money was not reinvested in businesses, but taken as inexpensive capital gains. Quote:

Oh, and regarding spending cuts? (not people spending, keep up here) I can only assume you have been paying zero attention to the last few weeks of debt ceiling discussion.

What exactly is wrong with the infrastructure? For that matter, what exactly is "the infrastructure?" This has always made me curious. Can you explain this to us all? Didn't we already spent a half a billion dollars on this stuff through the stimulus package? How did that work out for jobs? |

There is no debt ceiling discussion that does not pale in comparison to the partisan politics that accompany it. You may very well enjoy going through life as a puppy who chases one leaf blowing in the wind until the next one grabs its attention but some of us choose not to do so. That isn't my fault. Two years ago, the stimulus package was "Vital for the security of America." One year ago, getting any Healthcare bill passed was "vital for the security of America." This year, it's the same thing. Stop pulling out your hair and setting yourself on fire. A deal will get done. that's for certain. It's also certain it will be a shitty bill. |

You may enjoy going through life as someone who is incredibly ignorant and superficial, but some of us choose not to be so. Your teen-aged, "I hate everyone, teh government all sux!" angst surely makes yourself feel better, and obviously self-rightously smug, but doesn't really move the country forward.

There were massive tax cuts, massive business incentives, wars (face it, wars provide economic incentives). There is no denying that the government was extremely "business friendly". What was keeping business contracting and losing hundreds of thousands of jobs in that environment? Our income, before the Presidential election of 2008 even happened, dropped to only 15% or so of our GDP, when it always had been 18-20%. In the late 1950's, government-sponsored education and the concept of the mortgage allowed thousands of former GI's to get education and buy a first house in the suburbs. In the late 1960's, in order to keep up, they sent the wife to work and get a second income. In the 1990's, they second-mortgaged and took money out of the house for disposable goods. You are right, a lot of the slow recession is because the middle class and lower classes are plumb out of cash to spend at this point in time. And there's hardly a middle class left. But that didn't cause our recession, although it's contributing to the slow recovery. The middle and lower class are not currently sitting on millions in savings, preventing recovery.
