Where does the money go?
Into the economy or a black hole?
Show me how it goes into the economy. I will wait.

There's government spending, and then there's actual economic stimulation.Can you explain the difference? The money has to go into the pockets of someone who will in turn spend it thus stimulating the economy.

The recession is projected to end in 2009, yet only 107 billion of the money is scheduled to be spent this year.
Why do we need to spend the remaining 680 billion?? Oh yeah, it's so the Dems can create a permanent patronage system.

Inflation. Robbing Peter to give the perception of having the money to pay Paul.

Taxing a business owner so you can pay a person $15/hr to dig a ditch and fill it back up is the former
Allowing a business owner to keep enough of his money to expand his business, allowing for the creation of a $15/hr job within that business is the latter.
I agree this will cause inflation.
That doesn't mean the devalued money doesn't go back into the economy though.
Sure...
Take money from those who earned it to give it to those who don't. And then hope that they go out and buy lots of big screen tv's and american cars.
I hardly see that as a good idea.

You're thinking too simply. There's more to 'exapnding business' than simply making more of the same stuff.If there is no demand for the employer's goods/service, making more goods/service won't matter.
It may go back into the economy or it may head out to another nations economy.
But you and everyone else just lost a portion of the value of our money for this junk.
Everyone is paying for this junk.

And, of course, you failed to address the point itself -- the 'difference' you asked for.
They will employ people and buy products. Buying products keep the people who make said products employed. They aren't writing a check to critters.
No need to provide such a link -- it was an illustration representative of governmental busywork that simply pays someone to do something that does nothing to actually stimulate the economy.Link to digging ditches and filling them back up?

Still wondering about the difference?
This is true. Doing nothing will lead to double digit unemployment and more welfare. It's a catch 22.
Show me where 30 million bucks spent, will stimulate the economy with some 40k a year jobs.
can you do more than speculate please.
People working is a good thing. People who make 40K a year spend money. They pay their mortgages. They make car payments. What is so hard to understand about that?
Do you think unemployed people stimulate the economy?
It seems like everyone is dog piling you so I'll let this be my last comment.
I agree that unemployment may be slightly heavy short term but in the long run letting the recession run its course will yield better results.
The economy is unbalanced and it needs to correct itself.
30 million taken out of the economy to give a few people 40k jobs....
It's like dumping your last bucket of water on your head to take a drink.
This was a lib pet project, no stimulous about it.
No. MY answer is evident from my post, and it's got nothing to do with what you said.So your answer is to let those people be laid off and that will stimulate the economy?
How is 30 mil being taken out of the economy? You are implying that this money will just be put into a savings account and not be spent.
It is a pet project, I can agree. The money will still be spent in our economy.
No. MY answer is evident from my post, and it's got nothing to do with what you said.
The difference has been explained to you. You have failed to address that difference three times.
