Exactly. Same with anyone else, and hence our problem. The big disconnect. Don't touch, don't tax, and balance. See the problem yet?

Yes I do. More spending will not produce jobs. Jobs must come from the private sector not the government

Who has said otherwise? All spending was designed to do was help in the short term, easing the pain. It may have done that. But I'm not sure what that has to do with what I said.

Problem is he is saying the same thing he has been saying for 2 years. More government will create jobs. That has failed and will continue to fail if allowed

His first spending did create road work jobs and such. The main goal was to just infuse the economy with money. Of course it was not successful in solving the problems. What he is proposing now is nothing new, from JFK onward the government has invested in scientific research and technology and it did indeed create whole industries.

Not sure they failed, as I said, they were short term. Would still be. And not sure yet where he wants to break it off at. Again, congress will be producing those numbers.

He will be at the mercy of the GOP in the House that controls the money

Good. They have to share the blame instead of faining no part of it. I've always argued a divided government was a good thing.

You mean like all the jobs these same policies failed to produce the last 2 years

The unemployed don't understand the fuzzy math either.
