The "educated" voter

[SamSpade]

Money into the economy is stimulus, which as far as I can tell economists score as moderately successful in preventing a full depression. But they're all *educated* so I guess they don't know what they're talking about.

So what is money taken OUT of an economy? That's what taxes are - and debt, and interest on debt, and quantitative easing. It's taking money out and trying to shovel it back.

Spending tax dollars to stimulate the economy is moving money from one pocket to the other - while losing a few bucks in the process.

And I sure don't see the wisdom in dropping dollars here and there trying to stimulate an industry. What it does is hinder it - who wants to invest money in an industry that Uncle Sam can just pop in and back a competitor of yours?
