The depression happened as a result of the tax cuts and deregulation of the 20s. This will be the second republican depression.
Its time you do some thorough research in economics. Ignorance like yours created the depression.

Economic theory and you! :laugh: Aren't you the bloody genius who can't even keep a bank account balanced?

GDP = consumption + gross investment + government spending + (exports − imports) I'll explain that to you if you like just in case your education in arithmetic has been as lacking as your education in history.
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

Stan, you're quoting Wikipedia. What do you propose to do in your explanation, actually cite the article? But I am curious, why do you think that quoting a standard definition of GDP in any way proves that you are right? Do you think I was making up my figures? Maybe calculating them on some non-standard basis? Now if you wanted to ask whether I was using nominal GDP or real GDP in my economics lesson, you would sound like you knew what you were talking about.

But in this climate would that be enough or would it cause people to actually save instead?
I'd stuff it away, and I'm betting a lot of people would. However, if they took that trillion and split it up among citizens, I could spend a good chunck of that wad of dough, though there's no way in hell they'd do that, they want to use the majority of that money to fund their little socialist experiment. I don't know what the answer to this problem is, but I'm pretty sure frisbee golf courses and the like are not it. And I friggin LOVE frisbee golf! (Though I can't imagine a course costing more than a few thousand to build) Personally, actually, if it were me, I'd put as much money as possible into building a make shift structure to support some wide spread disaster like relief first and foremost and in a damn big hurry (which may be what all the new Rex84 business is about). Which may be an overreaction, but better safe than sorry. Whatever's coming down the pipe is big and nasty, and obviously noone anywhere near a decision making position has a fargin clue what it is, how bad it is, or what the hell to do about it. I'd set up a relief structure fast, (which would mean lots of jobs), and then start looking at what to do to bring the economy back around. I'd worry that doing that would cause a panic, but that seems to be his aim now anyway. I can't explain it, but for some reason my instincts are telling me that something wicked this way comes, the likes of which noone alive has a memory to relate it to. I find myself wondering if I have enough ammo, where I would hide a gun, how I would feed the family and get clean water if all services went down for an extended period. The thoughts seem completely irrational to me, but there it is. But bottom line, if it's really as dire as he wants to portray it, then this bill needs to get serious and drop all the BS, which is at least 60%. But then, I think he has other plans. Nothing coming from DC makes any sense AT ALL, which makes me think we're not privy to the real story. Couple all that with Russia rattling sabers again, DPRK and Iran on the verge of nukes, China growing way to big way to fast while dealing with Russia and funding anti-American shinanagans through Iran and NKorea, Iraq and Afghanastan, Africa being Africa, Mexico ready to collapse, cartel wars on the Mexican border, Israel and Hamas, and a full throttle communist in the White House, and I'm more than a littl

Couple that with the fact that we can, at any time, have another Katrina, or another magnitude 7.9 Earthquake in California, like the one that hit in 1857.

Yeah, I hadn't even considered that.
