And you simply choose to ignore the history of social programs in this country. The president or congress that doesnt renew or expand the funding will be labeled racist or elitest or worse(naturally there is no chance that the dems would do this because they count on the votes of the disenfranchised). You can deny all you want but the fact remains that funding of social programs under the guise of stimulus is disingenous. You refuse to differentiate between growing a sustainable economy or subsidizing one.
The economy was like a patient slipping into a coma. There were three ways to approach it. One was to do nothing and hope that it would wake up and not die. The second was to put it on life support but do nothing else but keep them alive. The third would be to act boldly and try to 'stimulate' them by using measures that may rouse the patient from the coma.
You choose option 2 yet for some reason you think you have chosen numer 3.
