Since consumer spending would end the recession, why are all you flag-waving patriots hiding your Visa cards?

Yes since this money will go to the working class that will spend their money and run the economy. GOP knows this and that's why they want to stop it.

Ho hum. I've heard all this crap for years. It's amazing to me that if all this is possible, there would be entrepreneurs lining up from here to China to invest in these programs.

The fact is that there is no desire for it on behalf of the majority of the public and no one wants to finance infrastructure that cannot create a profit for it's investors even by purchasing bonds. Obama dumped the bond holders in General Motors a couple of years ago, remember? They got bumpkis from the bail out.

I wouldn't put a single dime in an infrastructure bond issued by the federal government under ANY Democrat run government. Because of Obama, I will never ever buy another General Motors product and I'm doing my dead level best to avoid buying anything made by General Electric because of Obama and Jeffrey Immelt. AND if the unions keep their crap up like they are doing in Wisconsin, I'm going to stop buying ANY union made products.

I'm tired of this environmentalist crap being shoved down our throats as if it's the only way to do things. It isn't. Further, citing Keynes is about as useful as teats on a boar hog.

We've been receiving Keynesian economics for awhile now. It doesn't work.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
