Why Stop at 2.5 Million Jobs?
On Saturday Decider-Elect Obama shared some of the details of his economic recovery plan. Predictably, it was filled with promises of infrastructure investment, school improvement, green initiatives and even a promises of broadband Internet access for all (apparently to promote access to PornTube - stimulus).
Obama assured viewers that he would avoid the old Washington pitfall of “throwing money at the problem”, stressing his desire to “use your tax dollars in new and smarter ways”. Curiously, this assurance was accompanied by a threat to State governments not spending federal dollars quickly enough.
How much will all of this costs? Well he didn’t mention that - but he indicated that his plan would “save or create 2.5 million jobs”.
There really isn’t much new here. The particular projects hardly matter as much as the fundamental reaility that these programs have to be paid for with tax payer dollars, and unproductive projects dont waste wealth, they destory it.
If i’m wrong about that, why not spend twice as much and create 5 million jobs? Why be stingy when the economy is sputering and you’ve got the magic elixer? Speard the Gummy Berry Juice on thick, and get the economy humming again.
