Democrats think dropping money out of a helicopter is an “economic stimulus”.

The true economic stimulus includes making capital investment more inviting by punishing success less.

I can see a Democrat “meeting us halfway” on this by making capital investment more inviting by subsidizing failed investments. /sarc

Exactly!
TNYT and other business "experts" are pushing for a self fulfilling recession prophecy. The Wall Street pirates wanted a 50 basis point reduction in the funds rate and the Fed went with 25. Now they want another 50. Sorry, let the market work things out. Any action by the gov will only result in runaway inflation at this point. I'm sorry that the street bonuses for 2008 might be off by a couple of grand but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

She is trying to create new housing and energy entitlements. The rats have lots of plans to increase government spending by providing the right to some level of economic prosperity. Welcome to the new welfare state!
