Don't despair. Untethered capitalism still has a toe hold (until the next election, anyway).

Re: This stimulus bill won't come close to creating or saving 3.5M jobs. Heck, even that claim, "saving 3.5M jobs," is such B.S.

That doesn't seem like a "point" to me. It's more of a baseless, wild claim.

Re: We already had a "stimulus" last year. It didn't prime the pump.

Of course, since last year's "stimulus" was born from the Bush administration's incompetence. It mailed people 3-figure checks, and I didn't expect that to help the economy from the very beginning. But somehow, based on the logic that this didn't work, you're all ready to write off a completely different approach. I honestly don't get how you can make such a conclusion.

Re: As for this "stimulus," the only pump it primes is the pork pump.

Do you think you can try to come up with some independent thought for a small time, instead of regurgitating Republican propaganda? Otherwise, it's just circular arguing, with you repeating the same nonsense.

Re: We're all socialists now ...

And for God's sake, we can't let that happen, or else the terrorists win, right??

Tenchu... for as smart as you are, you are really held captive by your ideology. Nothing personal intended, but I don't see a single independent thought in your entire post. It's almost like a cut-and-paste of something I'd find on any Republican think-tank organization, conservative blog, or Rush Limbaugh transcript.
