re: #326 Killgore Trout

The jury is still out on that one but I suspect that eventually we’ll learn that at least some of the stimulus was necessary. I have no doubt that there was a lot of waste and some programs didn’t work but my guess is that overall some sort of stimulus spending was a necessity. It’s another thing that was rabidly opposed by Republicans, not all of it was bad.

I haven’t seen any of it that has been “good” yet. Nothing that has/ will produce sustainable jobs. The economy is showing signs of turning around now even though the great majority of stimulus moneis won;t be in the pipeline for 1-2 years from now (again, mostly due to the stabilization of the banks. lending institutions. insurance companies due to TARP)
