Liberals, tell me how much money is needed to stimulate the economy, I'm not talking the easily manipulated GDP growth figure, I mean real metrics: return of manufacturing, increase in labor force participation, decline of welfare usage and unemployment benefits, increase in real wages, etc (lets be honest, 2% growth rates don't put food on the table).
If someone can give me a ball park $ figure and why, I would really appreciate it. In fact, I will support your cause for more spending if you tell me the amount the government needs to borrow to stimulate our economy.
Well, since you are the wisest of the wise, how about you answering your own question.
Me? I don't think any amount of money will stimulate the economy. We are still recovering from one of the worst recessions in a generation, and throwing money at it won't make it any better.
Wasn't what you expected from a "liberal"?

As much as it takes distributed to the lower and middle classes to purchase USA manufactured good and services. The loans should be paid back by the business owners than made profits from the stimulus.

If you really believe what you posted I appreciate your honesty.
Most other partisans would just bark out irrational answers with the sole purpose of creating a argument.
There will never be enough. The more you print and borrow the less it is worth because you have to pay it back. The more you borrow the more it costs to pay back. The more you print the less it is worth. The value of gold has not gone up, the value of the dollar has gone down.
