Moody's study suggests extending unemployment benefits, increasing food stamps fastest ways to
stimulate economy.
(Yea... the opposite of what Conservatives want to do)

According to Moody's Research:

~ $1 spent on Food Stamps =  $1.73 Stimulus.
~ $1 spent on Unemployment Insurance =  $1.64 Stimulus.
~ $1 spent on Infrastructure =  $1.59 Stimulus.
BUT... If we do what the Conservatives want (yea the same people who destroyed our economy)
~ $1 spent on Capital Gains Tax Cut =  $.37 Stimulus.
~ $1 spent on Corporate Tax Cuts =  $.30 Stimulus.
~ $1 spent on Bush Tax Cuts =  $.29 Stimulus.

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Stimulate the economy by stimulating the tabacco and alcohol industry?  J/K

If you include "No offense" in a statement, chances are, your statement is offensive.

I feel bad I haven't signed up for foodstamps to help stimulate the economy.  I must be unpatriotic and want Obama to fail.  I never knew my productivity was so detrimental to our economic recovery.

If the purpose of a stimulus package is to "stimulate the economy" then giving it to the super wealthy is NOT the
way to improve the economy.
Give the money to some one who will spend the money locally... (not invest overseas) and the dollars start
to help immediately.

If you give a million dollars to a wealthy investor... he may sit on it or invest it offshore.
If you drove through poor neighborhoods ( or any neighborhood) ... and threw dollars out of the window of
a car... those dollars would be spent in local businesses almost immediately.  

We GIVE billions to Oil Companies to screw us at the pumps...
Yet complain when we GIVE those dollars to someone to buy food with food stamps.

Where are you getting these dollars that you are "giving" away?  Did you find a pot of gold on Saturday?   Why not give dollars to the poor AND the wealthy since we are giving money away?  If you double the amount you give away, you can double the economic success.  

People that concern themselves with this "new world order" shouldn't.  They should enjoy watching the world order that has been in place over the last 100 years to begin to fall apart.  History will tell future generations about a time when people actually believed the illogical debt based economic theory that Box regurgitates.  The global debt based economy is unraveling. The economy that kept their citizens wage slaves for corporations.
