Keynsian spending

Wrong. What the Erie canal did, was to prove that the private sector cannot be counted on to fund important projects that won't yield a rapid ROI.

In its day, the Erie canal was one of the most important advances with respect to opening up commerce between states.

Wrong? So the other states with massive failures in attempting to build canals didn't pass that legislation?

Huh? Nice random response to what's not being discussed

Random response? You did notice that I quoted your random lie?

That's a non issue though, because it's not a good/excellent economy, as 3d mentioned a few times

So why the need for stimulus?

 

[cawacko]

because you fucktards refused to keep the house in good order while you crashed the economy and lied us to war

Hmmm. So no answer from you either

If you posted a link, as opposed to some anecdote about what you 'heard', we could delve into your claims.

So big public infrastructure investment isn't part of the Keynsian/Democratic playbook it's a staple of Republican econonics? Ok

We aren't discussing the Stimulus

Let's not forget that before Dubya lied us into war, he turned around the recession he had inherited by the time he sought re-election. Then he squandered it on Iraq.

Only if it didn't effect you.

Not much downside? Well not of you consider the Fed dropping rates close to zero to cope and fueling the housing bubble

Housing bubble wasn't the recession on the table. The end of Clinton's tech bubble created a slowing of the economy.

10 months after Bush took office, 9/11 happened, so I have no idea what 'turnaround' was referenced above. Interest rates went from 8% with a 1/2% rise looming, to nearly zero in an effort to get people to 'go shopping'.

But you kids were young, so you might not remember the facts.

Greenspan dropped rates to "help" lesson the dot com bust and 9/11. That led to the housing bubble

Because it is a bad economy. Not a good economy. A bad one. Democrats make it out like Obama's fixed the economy. He hasn't, and the stimulus is proof.
