Have you noticed that most republicans say that we can't afford the stimulus package?

But just a few months ago they thought we can afford to pay 954 billion dollars for new fighter jets!

Thankfully obama(and the democrats) has stopped this and decided to spend the money on the economy which profits the people much more than state of the art fighter jets.

@13j07o92 Like the 9% unemployment, and the trillions he has increased spending and the stimulus which spent more money on pig odor research in Iowa than it did stimulate anything. Also remembering that in the Same amount of time as president Reagan took a 10% unemployment to 6% and obama has taken an 8% unemployment to 9%. As for those new fighter jets it cost about half as much to operate them than it does say F-16s, so in the long run would end up saving money. The facts disagree with you.

The Debt Ceiling under President Reagan was raised eighteen times to a total of $1.85 trillion (See Table 7.3). This is less than the $3 trillion-plus already raised under President Obama! Raising the Ceiling 18 times during the eight Reagan years meant a Ceiling battle every 5.3 months (on average), with an average rise of only $102 billion per increase. So… does Obama really want to get the Reagan Treatment?

I make all of my money off of rich peoples disposable income.

@f35caleb You're wrong; the rich (businesses) are not "investing" in the hard working middle class; that's the problem. "They" are doing everything possible to shirk their "responsibility", as you imply, of "providing" employment by constant productivity improvements (less work per product) and moving work overseas or south of the border in the name of greed. That in turn, erodes the very foundation of demand "they" need for "their" products. Greed has very poor forsight...

[euclon]

@f35caleb You should be happy that someone is willing (content?) to work that McDonald's job and every other exploitive, underpaid job in this country... wealth and income are relative; your income means nothing but it's relative value with respect to others. The working poor are requisite to our form capitalism, without them wealth and more income are meaningless. Wealth is nothing more than a measure of the degree to which we can exploit others; ugly but true.

The ultimate "trickle-down" economics is Keynesianism where gov't "stimulates" the economy by flying over businesses with helicopters full of taxed, printed, borrowed & redistributed cash.

The Fed & IRS corrupt crony politicians with power to redistribute, borrow & debase to buy “support” from Special Interest Groups, Unions, “Too Big to Fail” Corporations, the Military-Industrial Complex & Wall Street cartel.

Watch: “Money As Debt” & “Statism's Assembly Line” here on YouTube

The money is there. It's there for the taking. But you have to get off your lazy ass and go get it. No one is going to hand it to you. If you are content with working at mcdonalds then dont complain because the government isnt handing you a huge check. The rich invest in the hard working middle class. Where do you think business loans come from? The magic pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

Stop whining and start a business, go to school, or anything else that can get you a bigger paycheck.

Good Politics channel like every second word is fuck.

btw props for sounding kind of like patton oswalt when pissed

[jaybeebles]

you know of all the political theory and arguments I've heard, nothing sums up the lie of trickle-down theory quite as well as the simple words WHERE'S THE FUCKING MONEY.

lol i suppose the average corporatist a-hole would probably try to convince us that we didn't work hard enough for it, but those of us in the working class goddamn know better than that, don't we.
