“They [Republicans] didn’t start thinking of the old common fellow till just as they started out on the election tour. The money was all appropriated for the top in the hopes that it would trickle down to the needy. Mr. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickles down. Put it uphill and let it go and it will reach the driest little spot. But he didn’t know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellow’s hands.”
I’ve got a fantasy I’d RATHER believe in: The one where the right wingers get more circulation to their brains by removing the anal sphincter from around their necks, and realize that the best thing for the nation involves doing the best thing for ALL the citizens. Oh yeah, and the fact that it takes thousands of hours to become expert, so listening to experts is generally a smart idea.
Massive government spending won’t cause inflation if such spending be investment, and if the corporations and the rich should lose their privileges of dodging taxes and getting welfare.
Goodwyn again shows off those Trump Disciple analysis skills.

He believes that spending on infrastructure is totally wasteful and the only result is inflation.
He also believes that tax cuts for the rich benefit everyone and have NO effect on the deficit, but that spending on infrastructure benefits no one and only causes debt and inflation. You know, trickle down.
In Al’s universe, investing money to repair decades of neglect and upgrade infrastructure to make the US a modern country is a fantasy. They probably still live in caves and crap in holes in the ground in his universe, rather than invest in anything.
I’m sure all those tax cut dollars that the wealthy 1% pushed into the stock market had more of a contribution. You just hate anything that actually helped people.
Billions for Defense, Billions for Wall Street and corporate bail-outs, Billions for tax-cuts for the 1%, millions for Benghazi-style “investigations”, but not one red cent toward putting the Middle Class back to work!
If massive spending is what it takes to get America fixed up,then so be it! Decades have passed with not one President updating infrastructure, grids, roads, bridges! Our country is crumbling but ours bridges and grids and roads don’t have to be.
Well, those of us who believe science and don’t believe the stork delivers babies, also don’t believe the fallacy that gov’t spending will cause an increase in inflation.
Al I recognize your expertise in believing in fantasy. You are truly one of the “Alternative facts” crowd. This does not mean I take you seriously when you lecture me.
How about this. Designate company’s that will be working on fixing the infrastructure. Send letters to all the capable unemployment money recipients stating the Company and date and time they should report for work. Telling them there unemployment benefits will stop and there hourly wage will start on that date and Time. Unemployment down, spending down. A win win situation. And just think how happy these people and there families will be, working every day and earning a living wage fixing our country’s infrastructure. If you believe that, I have a rusting falling apart bridge in Brooklyn I want to sell you.
Government spending is barely inflationary at all. What you’re seeing is an economy in massive recovery. In other words, a little inflation can be a good thing.

Inflation happens all the time, literally all the time. It always has. The rate can change, but inflation can never be fully eliminated.
The infrastructure can has been kicked down the road for decades now! The spending has to happen sometime!
Why not now before more bridges collapse!?

Remember when Al’s favorite politicians told us that massive tax cuts for the rich wouldn’t raise the deficit.

Admit it, Al; whipping up inflation fears makes a handy distraction, but what really burns you has more to do with the supply of white babies.

Got another one for you. Give massive tax breaks to the richest 1% and they’ll invest it so the other 99% benefit.

Positive government investment has a much better chance of generating increased revenue than massive tax cuts. Check it out historically.

Right, Al… better we lose our industrial competitiveness to the rest of the world.
To Al’s ilk, becoming a third-world country is OK as long as they profit. Making other’s lives crappy makes them feel better about themselves.

“Al, the roof is leaking even more than before. Should we take out a loan to fix it?”
“No, it will cost too much.”
“But won’t that mean that there will be more expensive damage down the road?”
“Yes, but my boss made more money and got a bunch of tax breaks. I’m sure that money will trickle down before long.”
