Your numbers are incorrect due to late timing. It's roughly 6% with an estimate of 11% to be done by the end of the year.
How Much of the Stimulus Money has Already Been Spent? : Rutledge Capital
Point is still the same: it's just as effective as the Bush 2001 tax cuts. Aka, super, duper, not effective.
O'rly? Tell me, how many Americans do you know, know just where stem cells come from? How many do you know would state IVF clinics as the origin? How many do you know, know where those leftover embryos go? If Americans knew what was happening now, do you think so many would have voted against it on the bull**** reason the religious folk claim?
Furthermore, if Americans are so informed and educated (which by the way is incorrect if you look at percentage of population holding college degrees), then why do they keep voting their incumbents back into office when? We don't get the legislation we need for a reason. The US Congress is stale. Yet we do nothing about it. Informed you say?
While that is true, it doesn't actually address what I was writing. We get bad government because we keep voting for it. If we had informed, educated voting populace, we wouldn't have this problem. But we don't.
Don't know. This discussion stems partly from my talk with Harry Guerrilla. He's very anti- listening to the majority for many of the reasons I stated.
I never argued that was overall better. I argued that by historically, the limitation on voting to certain people mitigated the problems we have now, and specifically, if you noticed, I specifically wrote that having an informed, educated population would do much of the same.
My point is that a democracy of the uninformed and uneducated results in bad decisions. Democracy's value is determined by its voters. And America's voters suck. The fact that we still have a one party system pretending to be a two party system with that one party screwing every American is more evidence that we don't have that educated, informed voting population.
