No thanks spammer. You should just put me on ignore now because you don't want to see what I'm going to have to say about further input from you.
from your article, as it pertains to the wasteful stimulus. No Republicans in the House and only three Republican Senators voted for the bill.[2][3][4] The bill was signed into law on February 17 by President Obama at an economic forum he was hosting in Denver, Colorado.[5]
You exhibit no facts, only perversely twisted versions of other peoples thoughts or ideas. You are vacuous save for hatred. You are embittered yet show no sign of wisdom one might associate with an adult. Just a mindless spammer about to become irrelevant. Fuck you.
If bush's deficit was 1.3 trillion, and the stimulus was another 787 billion shouldnt the total deficit be close to 2.1 trillion? Or are you going to claim Obama actually cut 800 billion from the deficit?
Since we all know, Republicans never vote for anything wasteful. As for the usefulness of stimulus, hard to say but the consensus is that it was necessary. http://www.econbrowser.com/archives/2010/02/assessing_the_s.html
Ignorance is quite a common theme in your posts. Libertarianism and nazism are almost total opposites on the political spectrum...
I have no doubt that the republicans of the past somehow became biggovernment idiots as well, though not as bad as the dems have been. This has changed though, and big spending repubs are currently being purged from the party. In terms of the "consensus saying the stimulus was necessary" whose concensus would that be? The stimulus was a colossal waste of money by any intelligent persons standards, because it put the money into the hands of wasteful government bureaucrats. Atleast if we would have given the money to the private sector the majority would have been paid back, and it wouldnt have went to overinflated government employees who are raping the tax payer.
Then why don't you explain the article from Conservative blog American Thinker? http://www.americanthinker.com/2007/11/the_ron_paul_campaign_and_its.html
