Default So Who Wants to Defend the Stimulus Plan?

So who wants to defend it? I really don't understand why anyone could actually think that having the government spend a trillion dollars would ever help anyone out other than the government and the people who are getting directly paid. It's not going to help the economy, even if all the money gets spent where people think it should, and it's going to dig us further down into a hole where we already can't see light above us. Frankly, if this bill passes, we're effectively doomed for generations (more generations than we are already). And yet, our new president is saying that "catastrophe" will occur if we don't pass it. So go on, anyone want to support Obama's actions?

But Nancy Pelosi says if we dont pass the bill in one month, "500 million americans will loose their jobs". Appearently, the plan to add controceptives to the stimulus package is too late

Paul Krugman, econofraud, would defend it...if it were bigger. But as it sits, it's not enough for his tastes. Recall that Krugman won a Nobel Prize and amongst his most famous statements, Krugman touted the potential stimulative and forward going benefits of the 9-11 attack on the economy, causing the much more realistic Thomas Sowell to suggest we take on the destruction of many large buildings, and thus we'd soon be farting through silk.

But he writes for the NYT so you'd better believe him.

Oh, how I wish Krugman posted on this forum. That would just be awesome...... just thinking about ripping all of his absurd ideas to pieces makes my day.

Surely someone will come eventually. They can't really ignore a direct challenge.

OK, now really, where's the Obamania?

He's supporting this more than just about everyone else.

I voted for Obama. I like some of the things he has done and have faith he will do some more good things. The bail outs I have been against since the beginning. Basically, we were held hostage.
