Where was Ed Yardeni when his fellow investment advisors were allowing the system to be raped and bankrupted while they enriched themselves?

just wondering....

you know, given that he's so concerned about our welfare and all.

So you're implying that you feel that this implication somehow answers the question advanced in the OP?

How does someone's unstated position on a separate issue stand as relevant to a wholly distinct issue? Answer that 'counselor'...

It appears more economists than just Ed Yardeni feel the stimulus won't stimulate...

By Kevin G. Hall | McClatchy Newspapers
WASHINGTON — The compromise economic stimulus plan agreed to by negotiators from the House of Representatives and the Senate is short on incentives to get consumers spending again and long on social goals that won't stimulate economic activity, according to a range of respected economists.

Probably paling around with Tim Geithner? I wonder if they paid their taxes?

You know, there is always an upside to things. If these economists are correct, 2010 and 2012 will see yet more changes in government.

This is not a stilumus program... Hell... it's not even a program; it's a package of disasscociated spending; it's a leftist FREE-FOR-ALL.

All this FREE-FOR-ALL does... is limit our options when it comes time that we will need that money for that which is actually NECESSARY and CONSTITUTIONAL... It devalues the US Currency, increasing to burden to the treasury and represents little more than good old fashion BRIBERY. Those that voted for this bill could be hauled into any criminal court room in the country and successfully be prosecuted for abuse of power and conspiracy to buy votes...

It's a national embarassment; it's ruinous irresponsibility; it's socialism... thru and thru.

We should add: Michigan, Washington, Oregon, NY, MA and all of the other operations run on the principle-less notions inherent in Left-think. We can look to the US Textile, Steel and Automobile Industries to see the inevitable effects of Socialist Policy on the means of PRODUCTION. And all they did there was CONTROL the means of Production... IMAGINE what they'll do when Maxine Waters and Bawney Fwank get their way and THEY OWN IT!

But hey... the only production which sits immediately in their sites right now is the US Healthcare and Financial Markets... how bad can THAT be?

Well it will certainly stimulate some people's economies, but the question is will it stimulate the economy out of its duldrums?

Personally I am dubious they're stimulating enough of the people who need stimulation.

They could roll out the gillotines and start stimulating the bankers to start spreading some of that bailout money that disappeared.

That might help.

yep! throwing good money after bad,, that's the ticket..

Your side just spent US into a frigging mess and your bitching about the left.

Just as many real economists say it its the right program. It's not enough spending because the left gave in to more tax cuts in the negotiations that the lying right keep saying never took place.

Please, Dem leadership tell them they lost. If they can't work with US, get out of the way.

Your side is so figging economically geniusly with the standard "tax cuts" mantra.

To some people in this economy the 13 dollars a paycheck might just mean food on the table.

The Bankers only followed the legislative trail which they had been given no other choice but to follow... Granted, it would have been rightious to have watched them force the Socialists to sue them for NOT following that trail... to have gone to court and proven their actuarial facts and demanded that the left NOT use THEIR money to give away mortgages that were sure to fail; but that is the kind of clarity that only comes with the perspective inherent in hind site.

The SAME INDIVIDUALS that advanced the threats AND THE GUARANTEES which lead the bankers over the precipice and into the abyss ARE STILL SITTING IN CONGRESS and what's MORE, is that THEY ARE DOING THE SAME DAMN THING TODAY AS THEY DID THEN AND WITHOUT A WORD FROM YOU CONDEMNING THE SAME, ONLY EXPEONENTIALLY MORE DANGEROUS POLICY.

Q: How many economists does it take to stimulate an economy?

A: Based on their current market value, no amount of them --- however cheaply they're sold -- will stimulate the economy.

However, they do make excellent firewood if they're cut, split and properly dried in time for home heating season.

it's our turn to be patriotic..

About time, Willow. Wearing your lapel pint?
