No. Things are going to get worse. But paying $900 billion for 3
million jobs just doesn't make sense, Tom.

But, it does, David. Here's why: by creating/saving 3 million jobs, you
MIGHT boost the public confidence level, and you MIGHT stop that downward
spiral seen in George C's graph. I emphasize the word 'might' because it is
only a best possible guess scenario. I'm just being honest there.


They still haven't gotten
rid of the pork in the bill.

find me one item of 'Pork' that doesn't lead to someone getting or keeping a
job. Otherwise it works as stimulus. Just because it reflects the wishes of
some public official to serve his specific constituency is completely
irrelevant.

It is NOT a stimulus package. Obama
himself called it a "spending" package. I agree that a stimulus
package is needed, but not this one. Are you so blind you can not see
all the pork, all the Democrat paybacks, all the crooks stealing our
money. Pass a package, but it had better be a stimulus package and
not a spending one.

As has been stated, very clearly, in simple English, by the President, and
pretty much every damned economist in the nation, I will repeat for you: A
stimulus package IS A SPENDING PACKAGE!!!!!!!

yeesh!
