| Rath said: Ok without checking whether the statistics actually hold up or not (so assuming he is correct) he misses two important points I believe. 1) The stimulus helped the economy recover, therefore the costs of the stimulus are at least to some point offset by the stronger economy. 2) The stimulus spending wasn't a straight up loss. The GM deal is a good example of this, $50B outlay and now the govt owns about $100B of GM. |
Makes you think, how sad of a war is it, that a stimulus packages almost matches it.
