Whatever the gov't has done to 'stimulate' recovery has been taken from FDR's playbook, which, by the way, snatched the country out of the jaws of a recovery, sending us into an even deeper depression. Your points are very well taken. It's as if some folks don't want a recovery. Speaking of recovery, glad you're feeling better. Chris — First, how’re ya feeling after swine flu?

We also offer $8,000 to people to buy first homes (many of which would have purchased anyway with or without the credit) to help artificially prop up a market of homes that would be of interest to real estate investors. Are not first time home buyers and real estate investors interested, at least to some degree, in the same segment of housing? Then we put an artifical deadline on the $8,000 to make sure we pull buyers out of the market for the next six months. Then for fun, we pass new credit card laws that instigate the credit card companies into doubling and tripling some people's monthly payments helping to make sure that we use up whatever spare cash the American consumer has, anyway. Jobless recovery? Go read politicalmath.com for some fun on the unemployment numbers. Okay, I'm gonna back away from the keyboard now... Follow me here.
