For the Anti-spenders:
I'm all for entertaining new ideas. How would YOU resurrect the failed economy? Is it possible to create jobs without providing money to fund it? Do you let fail GM and Chrysler, who account for 2% of the GDP? Find me an alternative that pumps money into the economy without actually providing money.
I don't want to hear what you would NOT do. That'll just prove you to be a complete moron.

Two options: Do not spend and go into a world-wide depression for a few years or spend and risk inflation. I do not think there is any easy solution. I would rather we go down fighting though. Oh, Conservatives, please do not point out how Roosevelt's reforms didn't work. If you look back in history, the Congress stopped him from doing everything he wanted to do. You can not say that spending will not get us out of this situation, because we have no true historical data.

Apparently...the system that has made us the country we are is moronic.
By the way, yanks, calling other members names, including moron, is against the rules, so please don't do it.

Tiger... haven't called anyone a moron, just an undefined, nameless group.
I'm surprised all of the nay-sayers are quiet. As Mike would say, "The silence is very telling."

I do not think it is a good idea to bail out private companies. That should not be the role of the government. If they are out of money taxpayers should not have to bail them out. They should file bankruptcy and restructure. If they are still not profitable then why would we keep giving them tax payer money?
I also think we should lower the corporate tax rate. We are still the second highest on the planet.

How do you not see a correlation?
I know you haven't, you worded that underhanded, narrow-minded insult nicely so that it wasn't directed at a particular member.
And you have heard from two nay-sayers...Chuck and I both think Capitalism, the system that made America great and has pulled us through many economic slumps before, should be allowed to correct the situation naturally and the government should keep their clumsy, inefficient hands off of it. The only problem is, like any proper solution worth the breath it takes to suggest it, it will take time. Most people, including the President and everyone else in Washington, want a quick fix, which is illogical and dangerous thinking. The economy has had a heart attack and the administration's cure is to give it an aspirin and say we'll never allow it to happen again, while ignoring the underlying issues that caused it in the first place.

there is silence becuase
1. we were given multiple things not to say
2. people gave good answers and they were shot down, thus showing that there was no need to post.
as for the moron comment, if I were to post that i think they shouldn't bail out the auto industry, I would therefore be a moron, using your criteria.
