The <s>loldefecit</s> Stimulus package increases out national debt by....ONE THIRD.
And Mister Prez says he's going to half the budget by the end of his term...I dunno, I'm going to wait a tad longer before I go all rabid, but if this is the sign of things to come...
I don't understand why you guys are still looking for some miraculous "instant-fix" with the national debt and economy. This thing will take YEARS to fix, easily, and may very well be touch and go and/or two steps forward, one step back for a long time to come.
Yeesh...give the guy a break. He's been president for all of...what? Barely a month now? ^^;;
Oh for-
I agree about how the debt will take years to solve, but shoving billions of dollars at failing companies and agencies will not make anything better.
And I said I'd wait, wouldn't I?
The alternative is that those companies collapse, and the economy get worse... Great depression worse.
I'm not thrilled with the idea, but I don't want to be living on the streets either.
This. ^ More or less.
I'm not a fan of this idea either, and the frugal side of me says that "Hey, they didn't spend their money wisely. Let them tank." Unfortunately, and this is with the banks in particular, it wouldn't be helpful to the economy.
I do however support Obama's attempts to try and regulate how they spend this money they're being given. Especially after they took the first round of checks and spent it on bonuses and incentives instead of trying to get themselves out of the hole. No more of that, thanks. ~_~;
I agree. If we're going to give these guys money, make sure they dont get bonuses while their underlings get a nickel per hour.
Yet...Billions of dollars. Basically, we, the taxpayers, are going to get the bill because some idiots cheated. Shoving money at a problem doesn't really work for very long.
Though it does buy time for figuring out new solutions. Quite literally, too.
I like how Obama is regulating the money flow.
And JF, I don't want to get into another debate with you. The last one was an epic fail on my part.
Hey, just ask anyone I <s>debate</s> agrue with on this site. I've lost more than I've won. Don't worry, when you get informed, this stuff becomes natural.
And, is the amount of time we get really worth all that much mone? I think not..
and, to clarify, I don't want too much regulation of this cash, if they have to send it out. I just want CEOs to be happy with their jillions, and not get bonuses for crappy performance.
A few nerdy newish projects are
