Wow...I used to find her absolutely scary back in the day (think Demolition Man). Now I think the word "pathetic" would probably be more accurate. That's some serious downhill sliding...

>> ^Raverman:
Those with money don't spend or invest. And the poor and the unemployed can't. People who are idle stay idle. Why would it fix the economy? what magic is this? will people suddenly one day have confidence to hire/invest/employ? Who's going to go out on this limb during the downhill slide?

You're right. Everyone is a manic depressive and we're all trapped in a downward spiral of despair. Who in their right mind would want to try to make money at a time like this? The stock market is lower than it has been in years, but gosh, it would be stupid for me to invest now, I'm going to wait until it is really high again. </sarcasm>

There is no magic involved. Yes, people will regain confidence once the bad companies fail and go away. Those people who go out on the limb first will benefit the most from the ride to the top.

Ask yourself this question. Pick a stock or two, look at its price, look at its price over the past four years, then ask yourself, what do you think the price will be in 10 years? 20 years? Higher than it is now? How much higher? So are you waiting to invest because A) no money B) waiting for it to go lower so I can reap a larger gain, C) waiting to see what companies are the failing ones, or D) thought there was magic involved in making money.

Doing nothing is a stupid idea. Such a stupid idea that NO other country in the world is even considering it. ALL other countries in the world are factoring in stimulous spending packages.

Why? Consuming makes money to pay people. If people don't spend people don't get paid and get unemployed. Unemployed people can't spend.

Do nothing - those with money don't spend or invest. And the poor and the unemployed can't. People who are idle stay idle. Why would it fix the economy? what magic is this? will people suddenly one day have confidence to hire/invest/employ? Who's going to go out on this limb during the downhill slide?

Make "work"
a) Employed people have a way to "get money" which they can "spend"
b) Stuff that needs to get done gets done by otherwise idle hands.
c) that "stuff" is productive and can be owned and invested in.

i was wondering what your opinion on this post would be.

In reply to this comment by reason:
I see the comments overwhelmingly aimed at the defense of a juvenile ad taken out by the single most liberal/communist organization in the US. By not sticking to the titled issue I'm guessing you've already researched the quote, which is quite easy, and found that, as usual, Rush Limbaugh has been misquoted to further the aims of the most extreme wing of a desperate party on a downhill slide. Just in case you didn't bother to look it up the "quote" was directed at a specific troop that washed out of basic training and began to pass himself off as a ranger back from a tour in Iraq. He should be prosecuted for impersonation a human being much less an honorable soldier. The politicians who jumped on this Rush bash are just as guilty as he is.
