Why don't you be part of the solution, Z, instead of part of the problem? A positive attitude can change your whole life. :nod:

I finally skimmed the report and two thing struck me.
Measuring ARRA’s Impact Using Recipients’ Reports 2
Measuring ARRA’s Impact Using Economic Models and Historical Data
My company was a recipient. WE were ask to quantify the number of jobs saved by the amount of Section 8 Funds in the stimulus ( which of course is normally appropriated in the budget, runs short, and additional funds are allocated) apparently the stimulus was used to cover the normal annual shortfall.

Economic models. The same models using the same multipliers that justified the bill in the first place. :roll:

Versus what, the economic policies of cut taxes, spend, then bitch about the deficit? I disagree with Obama's economic philosophy so far, but at least he's spending money as the creditor and employer of last resort. :thumb:

But was Cheney wrong when he airily dismissed the importance of deficits? In the full quotation, as first recounted by Paul O'Neill, Bush's fired Treasury Secretary, he said, "You know, Paul, Reagan proved deficits don't matter. We won the [Congressional] midterms [in November 2002]. This is our due." What he evidently meant -- aside from claiming the spoils -- was that the effects of deficit spending tend to be less dire than predicted. And that insight deserves to be considered if only because all the partisan barking over the projected deficits in the Obama budget is so hysterical -- as if nothing could be worse than more federal spending.

Spending only matter when a Democrat is in office - even Dick Cheney knows this. :ugeek:

Once again shows the core differences between Cons and Libs. We can say we didn't like many of the Republican prez's policies.... Dems defend every single Clinton action to this day.
