that they lump asset and IP together in an expansion category?
You are clearly not getting it.
Recovery. Thats the word. Recovery means jobs. Recovery will be FASTER if you focus on all aspects of demand.
Just throwing money at joe consumer WILL NOT DO IT.
Its not a supply side argument. Its pure straight down the middle econ, regardless of your thinly veiled attempts at baiting by introducing communist planning and voodoo economics.
You have had 3 huge failed attempts at demand spurred growth in the past 12 months and you still don't seem to understand. Cash for clunks, housing credit and the tax withholding credit.
Additionally, the "stimulus" that was focussed on all the wrong parts of the economy (and they wonder why it didn't work, gee, go figure).
And you are still here saying that we should continue down that path because it will create more jobs.
Guess what?
We're nearly 1.4T down that path and unemployment is still rising. Hmmm.
Feel free to talk about it amongst yourself. It appears that you have little desire to pay attention, instead you keep trying to paint this as a supply side communist agenda. I'm done with that.
