You sound like FDR, who we now know prolonged the Great Depression by a good seven years. Is that what you had in mind?
I think in the old days they used to call this “tax and spend.”
Also, would you stop saying “in a short period of time”? Are you trying to specify a period of time rather than space?
Via AllahP, who adds:
Polls consistently show that more people support the stimulus than oppose it even when the price tag is attached, from 45 percent by Rasmussen’s measure to 53 percent from Gallup to even greater majorities per McClatchy and CNN. Expect stories like this plus The One’s own insistence on accountability, starting with the new Recovery.gov website, to push those numbers even higher.
Anything missing here, though? Any crucial pieces of information politely omitted lest they jeopardize the bill — besides, I mean, the fact that it’s brimming with pork and that it’s viewed by at least some prominent Obama advisors as a crude vehicle for redistribution? Why, there’s nary a word about TARP II or the fact that the recipients of TARP I already have lobbyists in place to make sure they get theirs when it inevitably passes.
TARP II will fix the problems caused by the overspending of TARP I, just as TARP I will fix the problems of domestic overspending during the Bush-43 administration.
Obama’s complication will have . . . a complication.
