You know, I was about to look like an ass. I typed out a nice response to your reply Bill because I read it wrong. I was ripping you a new one and the whole time, you said the exact opposite of what I thought you said. Funny how one little word can do that. Carry on.
As for the stimulus plan. It was nothing but a giant pork barrel bill. There was no real stimulus in it. They were just spending money to spend it. Reports have also been released shortly after it passed detailing the details. Which as mentioned is something that the politicians didn't even learn for themselves before voting on the bill. The details show that the stimulus money wasn't even to be spent until later in this year and early next year. FDR already proved that public works projects and spending your way out of a recession does not work. Yet here we are again trying it all over in hopes that it works this time.
The economy will rebound because it is stronger than the government. Unless a complete take over and full socialization is put into effect. The long term problems caused by O's forced involvement will be devastating and put us further behind the rest of the world in terms of manufacturing, product development, and free enterprise. We were already behind because of utterly dumb tax policies and favoritism to select groups of people/corporations. He and the law makers in Congress show no signs of changing these asinine policies. Talk of increasing corporate taxes just means, you, the consumer will pay more for a good. No business pays taxes. Taxes are collected and factored into the cost of the good/service being sold. There is even talk of a VAT(value added tax). This is an even more ridiculous corporate tax that again will be paid by you and me. It's all about power. These people care not for you and me. If they did, they would lower taxes to stimulate the economy. Every time this has occurred, here and around the world(anyone notice what Ireland has done), it has worked. Every time taxes are increased, things slow down and yet Dems still won't learn.
If you live in Mass, Michigan, or Ohio, you need to get out now. Michigan has failed and is not going to recover anytime soon. Years of Democratic control has destroyed that state and rotted it from the inside out. Mass and Ohio are heading that way too. Mass especially as they continue to tax the piss out of people. Don't bother moving the Maryland either. They are one of the least free states in the country and have some of the highest taxes. My suggestion is to move to a state that has no state income tax laws. Or laws that do not target the "rich" who some how don't pay their "fair share" even though they fund the overwhelming majority of government.
Obama and the Dems are a joke and I have no faith anything they do will work because of them and their actions. Socialism has never worked in the past and it never will work in the future. Think it's bad now, just wait til they destroy health care in this country.
