Our (Deep) Deficit Spending At Work
Love it or hate it, it appears you don’t have to go to Argentina for some stimulus. According to this report from 10/11, the federal stimulus project has created over 100 jobs here in Lincoln so far.
Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way one could easily keep track of all the stimulus funds deployed in Nebraska? Well there is: The State of Nebraska has set up a fairly nice Recovery Nebraska site where one can actually subscribe to an RSS feed. Lincoln also has its own recovery web page here, but its not as stimuluating as the state site.

If the reaction to this ‘stimulus’ is the same as that of Bush’s last year, then shouldn’t we be calling for the kids to send the money back to the government? After all, it’s just a few hundred dollars ...
That we classify some teenagers getting a little bit of spending money through part-time, temporary ‘jobs’ as economic stimulus speaks greatly to the cumulative intelligence of our politicians and public.

Are you analogizing the jobs program referred in the 10/11 piece with the Bush tax refunds? Please explain.
