Why the Stimulus is an Albatross

A trillion dollars can remake american society?  What nonsense.  It was a very minor expenditure, and only marginally affects any aspect of society.

dude, no amount of money could remake you, for you'll always have an excuse...it's just what losers do best.  You have consistently demonstrated to this forum that you have done the least with your talents.  we get it.

Your post is rather off the topic under discussion here, jmfcst, but oddly enough I just read another post of yours in another thread (religion?  I forget), in which you commented at length about 'winners' and 'losers' suggesting that perhaps we 'losers' would get our re-ward in the heaven.

Anyway, back to the issue here - the reason one trillion can't 'remake' american society isn't because american society is a loser, jmfcst, but rather because american society is big.

Indeed. $1 Trillion Dollars is about 7% of the current US GDP.

That's without getting into the inherent problems with trying to change a society from the top down with money..

Right.  The only way to actually change the society would be to alter the way property rights are imposed, or create a permanent and generous dole, or through extremely high taxation (or other punishments) for the privileged.
