Different money quote:
No one is SPENDING. That's why the government has to.
This is NOT tough math, here, folks. Trickle down tax cuts are a 4 minute rainstorm in a parched desert. The Stimulus is a slow but steady release of dam water that pools here, pools there....and gradually fills up the entire economy. And the key to opening those floodgates are JOBS. Today we find out that our national jobless rate is creeping toward double digits. We find out that every time a job comes open, 4 people are ready to grab it. That leaves 3 out in the cold. Literally. President Obama knows that once that ratio is brought down, when each one of those 4 jobseekers is secured with a paycheck, then they'll actually be confident enough to spend a little cash. A family pizza night at first. Then maybe the whole crew gets new shoes. Before long, they might be confident enough to think about a new mini van. And then, wonder of wonders.....there are some cheap houses out there, and the family is growing.
That's how it'll work. If you believe. If you have hope.
