This was predicated on the assumption that they were going to do the 819 billion no matter what.

Ah, in that case, I’ll go with 4 or 5 as well. Distribute the pretend money to the taxpayers so we can save up for the hyperinflationary period this will help cause.

Personally, I’d opt for “6. No bailouts to anyone”

If America is truly a “free country”, then the freedom to fail is just as important as the freedom to succeed. Supporting failure breeds more failure. Witness the growing line of incompetents who are billing themselves as “too big to fail”. From corporations to cities to states, once the federal government set the precedent of pretending to have wealth to distribute, every self-identified failure out there is standing with a hand out.

Option 6: “Privatize profit AND failure.”

Ron,

If you don’t even know the most basic principles of economics, you aren’t qualified to comment.

Joshua, this was predicated on the assumption that they were going to do the 819 billion no matter what. I wrote about the tax impact of stimulus a week or so back.

You act like a massive tax cut, free of any spending cuts, wouldn’t also constitute “bad debt on our national credit cards”.

Wouldn’t it be cool if you actually put up a shred of any proof of your theory instead of just ham-fisted conjecture? Yea, I don’t see that happening either. More broken windows?
