The economic stimulus law added between 1 million to 2.1 million workers to employment rolls by the end of last year, a new report released Tuesday by congressional economists said.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office study also said the $862 billion stimulus added between 1.5 to 3.5 percentage points to the growth of the economy in 2009.
This video is propaganda. The stimulus is going to be the end of America. 3 million imaginary dollars, from Obama's magical money tree in the never never land beyond time must be paying for it, because we have no money.
I can't say that I disagree with you on that one...I just figure though... China is our bank and they dont want to see us fail because who else will buy their crap lol! I think well be alright. We still are the richest nation :O)
The pushback from the Republicans will rebound to their shame forever - they have already bankrupted the economy and now don't even "get it." They had no qualms about the insane deficits of the Bush years - they are clueless. Thank God for Obama - the people's president.
The U.S. is being subjuagted under a Marxist communist oligarchy. The wealthy intend to rule you and nullify your constitutional rights. Thats what all this is about.
It's funny how republicans say this stinks considering they gave BUSH everything pretty much he wanted weather it was good (cough) or a bad idea for the country. Look where that got us lol. It was a republican who got us into the mess we are now in & it will probably be a democrat who will get out of it
they're gonna do it regardless of pork (like nancys pet wetland project i mean can't that wait? and i've got the answer for those condoms how about just say "no", gimme a break) the only good news is these are publically traded infastructure stocks, 180 days til the highway jobs kick in, they're "shovel ready" i hope my state lined up for some goodies cause unemployment kicked in and the budget gap is 12%, the illegal aliens are leaving, etc
This video assumes that the stimulus package will have a positive affect on the economy. But, in fact if this bill creates jobs it have to take the money out of the private sector to do it. This plan would take from the thriving businesses and give that money to the loosing businesses minus the postage. That attack on success tells good businesses to go elsewhere. This is Not good for our economy and therefore should be stopped. Respectfully, rightwingliberal1
I am both a history professor & have worked with economists from the London School of Economics.
Economists on both the right and left outside of Washington agree & figure prove that tax cuts to the wealthy (Rep. policy) gives .03 cents to every $1 spent, deregulation encourages corruption. Add privatization (no bid contracts, running social programs for profit, such as education), & supply-side economics (Greenspan & Ayn Rand) got us here.
I am a historian too, and no, you're wrong, in fact: wrong that tax increases were FOR the wealthy, wrong that economists on the right agree with your analysis, wrong that deregulation has a greater effect on increasing corruption than regulation; wrong that no-bid contracts are relevant to this discussion; wrong that supply-side is bad; and so on.
And this ad is extremely dishonest: they blame the lack of a bill on jobs lost, when the majority of jobs created come after 2010 (CBO).
pudgenet: The CBO analysis you refer to estimates the employment effect from the bill in 2009 at between 900,000 and 2,400,000 jobs saved or created. It's true that they say there will be even MORE jobs saved or created in 2010 -- but what's your point? And the ad doesn't blame the job loss on lack of a bill, it says the rate of job loss is a reason to pass a bill to do something about it. (As noted below, unregulated markets are the reason for the recession and attendant job loss.)
Um. My point is that your ads implies ALL the jobs lost are due to the bill not passing, which is a lie. The ad does precisely that, and saying it doesn't is also a lie: it shows the total of ads lost while the bill doesn't pass. That's a direct implication of causation.
Oh, I also forgot to mention the fact that your ad's implication that the Republicans are doing anything to stall the legislation is also a lie.
Before your ad went live, the Democrats had enough Republicans to -- assuming they got their own caucus in line -- vote for cloture. There is no sense in the claim that the Republicans are stalling anything.
I wish you were right. I wish the Republicans WERE stalling it. It's a terribly awful bill and will kill much of what's left with our economy.
Both parties and the federal reserve bank are the reason we're in this mess. Idiots want to blame one of the two legs on the same corrupt DOG? Wake up! Spending money we don't have is not going to fix a damn thing!
These whiney children don't want to take the long overdue medicine. They want to keep spending and buying useless crap with their overpaid useless jobs.
My goodness JaySee5, that *is* some advanced economic theory you've got there. Let's see: the former chairman of the Fed is "full of crap", the people being laid off from Wal-Mart, Linens-n-Things, Circuit City, etc. are just getting the "medicine" they deserve, and deflation is a good thing. Despite the fact that it drives up unemployment as businesses go broke selling goods to "responsible" people like you at a loss. Hint: the last big deflationary spiral was known as "The Great Depression".
Wal-Mart will thrive, the other 2 are unnecessary, as are auto industry union jobs. Those laid-off workers can get new jobs in factories that make things to export to rebuild this country's economy. If there is cheap labor, it will be taken advantage of. That's how capitalism works. You should study the great depression and how it was caused by bad government policies like over extension of credit and artificially low interest rates. Hmm... sound familiar? Deflation was caused by government.
It's no big mystery why our country is where its at and where its headed. I say prosecute the parties responsible and profited from a 2trillion dollar war, and the systematic murder of over 2 million sovereign Iraqis, and the 400 billion dollar annual aid to the only "Terrorist State" on the planet, "Israel". This degradation of humanity, and onslaught of deception that our so called "LEADERSHIP" in Washington D.C. has lead us. And who is to blame, and needs to pay? we must be held accountable.
That guy should have a chart that piles up pink slips.
We need the best stimulus package we can get, which means something closer to the House than the Senate. Call your members of Congress today! Capitol Hill switchboard: 202.224.3121
Congressional Budget Office estimates even the scaled down stimulus bill "would provide a substantial boost to economic activity over the next several years relative to what would occur without any legislation." There's a big difference between hiring workers to build schools and just doling out money to banks.
But all of the construction workers are now illegal aliens. How is that going to stimulate the economy when they send most of their money back home to Mexico?
There's are many billions going to ACORN, how exactly is that supposed to help increase jobs?
wetweasel56: On some level, in my opinion, you are correct. This stimulus package is money that's being pulled out of nowhere.
truemajorityaction: Do you think the government just has a spare 800-ish billion dollars lying around? With OUR national debt? This money in combination with the bailout of 2008 is digging a hole. Future generations, children in high school, middle school, elementary school, and their children are going to be the ones paying for this. I beg of you to consider that.
You should jump off your democratic high horse and go back to high school and take some economics classes - More government spending will NOT solve the problem.
Do you think that we are in this situation because republicans did nothing? No, we're here because Bush overspent. The only thing that will help this economy recover is time. A capitalist society will recover if Obama backs off and doesn't continue to interfere with the economy like Bush did.
turntyle: your analysis seems at odds with that of pretty much all professional economists, who identify the problem as an out-of-control housing bubble made worse by unregulated Wall Street gambling. Heck, even Alan Greenspan admitted he was wrong to "not interfere" when things were getting out of control. (Oct. 22, 2008 House committee hearing)
Greenspan is full of crap. He caused this by keeping interest rates artificially low. If you put what looks like gold in front of greedy people, what do you think will happen? If the market and interest rates were REAL, the irresponsible gambling wouldn't have happened. Government hid the risk to keep the economy flowing. We should've had a natural recession years ago.
@ truemajorityaction; Alan Greenspan claimed with a straight face that he was too loyal to the free market, despite having spearheaded major monetary interventions and disruptions into the economy for years.
Republicans try to make it seem as if we have been doing the lassez-faire thing and keeping our hands off, but our government has never been bigger. If you think the government hasn't been regularly disrupting our economy, I beg of you to think of it some more.
Also, you are correct about the housing issues as well as wall street, but these are not the sole issues with our economy. Sure, the issues you mentioned have a lot to do with what's happening, I agree, but I do not believe more interventionist messiness is going to aid the problem.
We are where we are because of the actions and inactions of a republican Congress and a republican President who acted with no Democratic input. They are now screaming bloody murder that they had no input into a "Stimulus Bill. The republicans, our "Country Firsters", in their haste to damage Obama, are sinking our country.
- Includes $2 billion provision for "clean coal" plants.
- includes tax cuts for big business including $1.6 billion for Verizon
- no longer includes the state healthcare programs
- Includes no meaningful bankruptcy reform
- includes $50 billion for nuclear power
Are you going to call me a Republican because i have serious concerns and don't just trust everything Obama says automatically? Naomi Kline says a lot about it, in her article on commondreams.
Every person who has lost his/her job because of Reaganomics, every family that lost their home because of the housing bubble, and everyone that is pissed off by the obstructionist tactics of the GOP needs to remember these clowns when it comes time to cast a vote in 2010.
I think Obama can handle this, but that doesn't mean we don't need to hold these people accountable. If you, like me, have GOP Senators or Reps, put the e-mail pressure on them. Call 'em, write 'em, and ask, "Passed the stimulus yet?"
I think it's plain to see now, that Rush Limbaugh, leader of the Repuppet Party and his fellow Repuppetcons are not concerned with their fellow Americans. It's Economics 101, give working people money and they will spend it.
JaySee5: The value of saving is certainly a major lesson that Americans need to learn from this economic disaster. However, saving money right now will likely deepen the troubles we're in. With less cash flowing, banks remain reluctant to lend and a deflationary vicious cycle becomes more likely.
First, what's wrong with deflation? The people who were responsible and saved money benefit. Second, where is the deflation? Demand for goods will stay constant. People will still buy food and the prices will not drop. Useless goods like cars, ipods, etc. need to drop. All this inflating bailout does is screw the responsible and rescue the irresponsible. How's that fair? How's that right?
JaySee5: A limited amount of deflation will indeed be beneficial to the consumers who have saved, but if it goes on too long we risk entering a spiral: production will decrease, which leads to lower wages and layoffs, which further reduces demand, which reduces prices and in turn lowers production further. The cycle repeats. Many economists argue that a deflationary spiral was the primary cause of the Great Depression.
Demand for food can never decrease without a drop in population. It's IMPOSSIBLE. If production of food decreases, prices go UP because supply doesn't meet demand. The only way deflation happens is with GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE like price fixing. The Great Depression was onset by bad government policy. By almost exactly the same decisions the current government is making to try to control the economy and free market.
JaySee5: You're right about demand for food, but demand for everything else can fall as consumers reduce or eliminate discretionary spending. Thus every other sector is at risk of being hit by a deflationary spiral. Since only a small percentage of the population is employed in food production, sales and delivery, the economy as a whole is also at risk.
Less iPods and SUVs, not a big loss. The country needs to be forced to turn around. America imports more than it exports. More production and less entertainment . So yes, this whole unproductive economy is at a risk. Not a bad thing.
The President needs to go ahead with his agenda even if the Republicans don't agree. They are on the wrong side of history. We are in a new age, the Obama Age, and that means progressive work on behalf of regular people in America.
Whoever made this video hasn't a clue to how the economy works nor how tax and spending ruins a nation.
Hey pal, adding medicaid and social security debt Americans are in debt 108 trillion! WHO'S GOING TO PAY THAT STUPID? SO WE SHOULD SPEND MORE?
So you're in debt to your eye balls & you want to spend more?
How can anyone be so stupid?
Stimulus never in history has created jobs.
Low taxes creates jobs, getting the government off our backs creates super nations.
