Lets just get on with paying the bill and take the hit. Stop spending and start sacrificing.

under the new dnc pc modern math, you can spend your way out of debt. two or three more stimulus packages will put us on the road to a debt free future.

stimulas dose provide tax revenue but our government is not smart enough to get maximum efficiency out of their spending.

your right.

you can't collect property taxes on forclosed homes.

you can't collect taxes on the unemployed.

you can't be paying for all these programs with everything going out & nothing coming in.

I like to think of it as the circle of doom. The circle keeps getting smaller until one day poof nothing is left.

I opposed all these "bailouts" and "stimulus." Putting good words on bad ideas and government spending trillions of dollars we don't have doesn't solve anything. In fact, it makes things worse.

if anything, give tax credits to corporations that hire real people to fill real positions.
under the stimulus, not all the jobs are real jobs or perminent jobs.

ireland is now the #1 destination for new int'l start up companies relocating there. the reason, it's busniness friendly without all the red tape & has a low tax base.

Wh might as well put the Chinese deep into future debt. The loans they're making now are worth what? one big Mac??
luigi1-... to Denny November 06, 2009 23:11:16

loans from the chinese will soon be coming to a halt as the chinese fear the usa a deadbeat nation. obama will have to go begging to the russians next.

if $2 trillion can't do it, nothing will. we need to ask where the money is going.
