Quick question for ya… What’s the difference between a revenue contributing state (Texas) and a revenue utilizing state? Give up? If you knew the answer you wouldn’t be re-hashing that tired old Perry used stimulus money line. Here I will help connect the dots for you. Contributing states Texas for instance are actual net positive contributors, meaning we pay more in then we receive back. So when someone at the federal level does something completely stupid such as Obomney did with his FAILED stimulus plan. The bill eventually gets passed to the haves (Texas) to pay for the have nots. My point? I know big government libs like you and Obomney could care less who pays for these things but we do, its our money. When Perry “requests” stimulus funds. What he is really saying is “We will keep all of our own money we can, thanks”. Of course a lot of this “stimulus” had strings attached in the form of short term funding for long term mandates. We will pass on that, we like being low tax and high revenue in Texas.

Although your “people have told me it worked” justification is much more pathetic. My friends agree with me so I must be right is pitifull even for a Obomney-bot.

Continuing on, ever wonder why you have never heard a president use the term “jobs created or saved” before? It’s a made up metric, it’s a way of claiming things aren’t as bad as they are without someone calling you on it. It’s candy for the weak minded zombies who buy into Keynesian economics. As validation of this see 1979,1980-83. 2000-2002 and finally pre-Obama 2008. All different presidents at periods of economic recession with mounting unemployment and yet no fictitious metrics in any of their speeches.

And finally, the didn’t goto 12% argument is really, really pitiful. Lest we forget we weren’t @ 10% when Obama passed the Romney endorsed stimulus. We were @7% and climbed past 10% during all those shovel ready jobs. Oh wait there weren’t any. “They weren’t as shovel ready as Obomney thought”. Today 9% and on the verge of another dip…. Tsk Tsk Tsk… If that’s how you measure success please switch party’s, please.

While we are on the subject, compare your positions on this subject or the government take over of healthcare for that matter. With that of any prominent democrat. They are identical, you use Obama’s own talking points to justify your and by extension Romney’s position in this very conversation. Doesn’t that disturb you? Seeing as you are so committed to defeating Obama this next year and all?

Perhaps huffington post would be more your speed, just sayin.

that short term gain at long term expense is not a good thing.

think of it this way. If you’re short of money, you can take a payday advance loan, and can pay your rent for a month or two with those funds, but pretty soon that money is run out, and then not only do you have to pay rent, but now you have debt on top of it, and therefore you are in a worse situation than before.

that’s the case with stimulus. It didn’t provide any long term solutions.

The stimulus did give many people jobs. But now most of those jobs are gone. I live in an area that had a stimulus boom of hiring. But most of those people have now been laid off because the stimulus money is gone. they are exactly where they were two years ago, but the country is a trillion dollars deeper in debt.

I think when people say the stimulus was a failure, they’re not discounting some short term benefit that people received. The failure is that in the big picture the stimulus has not gotten the country out of its current funk — which is now three years long.

There is no doubt that I have benefited from the $800 making work pay tax credit. but would I trade that $800 for a healthier government and economy? you bet.

Since you misrepresented his response as him being an internet tough guy making threats.

Next post. And no “Sorry if you were offended,” either. It’s “Sorry that I messed up.”
