Who would support a total spending freeze right now in the federal government like some Republicans are suggesting?
those who know finances and economics, those that know it's stupid to break the bank in the hopes that the economy might recover.
I'll bet you cant find a single economist that supports a spending freeze.

which only proves just how fucked we are in this country.
you know whats stupid? is expecting the government to do the exact fucking opposite of what you'd do in your own household in a bad and failing economy.
would you dig up the concrete in your driveway, lay down new concrete, and landscape the yard if you lost your job?
There you go again, committing the fallacy of literally equating the actions of the government to the actions of an individual.
does money change its significance and value when spent by an individual compared to a government body?
I'll bet you cant find a single economist that supports a spending freeze.
Well, according to some posters on this board, Nobel laureate means that they are "right all the time". Seeing as there are many on one side and Krugman on the other...This is false, there are hundreds that are KNOWN to oppose the bailout and support less government spending, including nobel laureates:

While I've only heard a handful of economists led by dinosauric Keynesian Paul Krugman (who only got his nobel from his work on trade, NOT any other part of economics).
The rest of the thousands of economists one could only speculate what they believe.

This dumbass list again?
cato= transates to right wing
also here's a tip 95% are indeed getting a tax cut, the 5% not getting one are most certainly not going to stop spending.
Please keep your crying to a low roar as the economy booms under Obama's plan.
Fuck off asshole, until you can come up with a list showing the economists who DO believe that the stimulus spending is the right way to go then the numbers I have shown are higher.
You on the left love to assume that those who are quiet support your shit, whether it is on economics, history or science. You never stop to consider that maybe it's just leftists with their protests, blogging, are just louder. The silent majority leans more to the right and is shown from everything from voting to people's opinions when revealed in private.
Come up with a bigger list of economists that have come out supporting it, then you have something to start with.
