Someone take that shovel from him and hit him over the head with it. The guy just doesn't get it! Is anyone telling him this crap isn't working? He hasn't changed direction one bit!Insanity has been defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result each time.
He wants to pour this money directly into wages for building infrastructure and not get any leverage by stimulating small business.
I've looked at the roads around where I live. There are signs everywhere about how the roads are being worked on courtesy of "stimulus" money, but I haven't seen any roadbuilding equipment what-so-fuc&ing-ever. Nada. And we still have just as many potholes.
Stimulus money my a$$. States are making up shortfalls their budgets with this money.
Libs just can't imagine a world with less government. It completely escapes them. No trust in their fellow man's ability to recognize and deal with danger. Layer upon layer of complication piled on top of each other until business owners can't do business anymore without breaking some sort of law, and leaving them at the legal mercy of anyone with a beef against them and the ability to afford a lawyer. Given crap like the ADA laws, sometimes they don't even need that. Lawmakers these days don't trust juries, and write laws so complicated and full of unintended consequences that it's difficult to exercise common sense and good judgment. If you can't write a law on one piece of paper, you're probably doing something wrong. If you have to argue for months in federal court about why the interstate clause allows the federal government to take over the states, they're just gaming the system.
The founding father kept our constitution limited to about four pages so the governed wouldn't all need law degrees to understand when things were getting out of whack. It's meant to be interpreted properly by the average citizen of the day. And by us, too.
