How much do you think it would cost the government & tax payers to employ nearly 4 million people in public works and human services? How would the economy soar? Would America be producing more? No.

Yes, Enoch Root, those were my words.

And Tracy Coxx, since you asked: I will bet my right arm, which you, Tracy Coxx, may personally come and cut off with a dull blade if I'm wrong, that the overwhelming majority of the 15 million people who have been out of work would gladly take a good-paying, socially useful job and pay taxes as employed workers, and support the elimination of the giveaways to the rich and the corporations so that employing them will not do as you say.

The way out of the economic problems of this country is not to combine business as usual -- i.e., tax breaks for the wealthy, no taxes on corporations, and corporate welfare -- and busting the backs of working people, but to stimulate the economy with spending that is socially useful. Nearly every economist recognizes this, except for the pseudo-economists in the employ of the corporations and their legislative minions. And even they have a hard time when they put out their lies.

smc got his own words used against him!

Hot Damn Tracy, you're good.

If stimulus is good, why didn't it work the first time?

I paid 25 cents in taxes and got 20 cents back in stimulus and I'm supposed to feel richer. I think that's the theory.

As fran well knows, this has absolutely nothing to do with what I said.But it makes for a good post, I guess, when genuine, meaningful discussion is not the coin of the realm in a discussion thread.

As a member of the TLB staff well knows, I am capable of expressing two or more thoughts at the same time. In my previous post. the first two lines are in reference somewhat to Tracy. The next two lines are independant of that and are my thoughts alone. There was no intention to mislead that they were thoughts of someone else.

No member of the TLB staff should imply what I know or do not know. I am the worlds foremost authority on what Fran well knows.

Goodmorning smc. Springtime in Maine this morning is under a lace of ice. In the sunlight it is frantastic.

So we’re not going to get an answer from Tracy concerning spending cuts? I keep logging on in the vain hope that Tracy will stop ignoring reasonable requests.
