Has anyone found a source that reasonably tracks the money going out as "stimulus"? Is anyone familiar enough with the government to even know where to start looking? Are the government agencies who are supposed to be checking this able to do so and willing to share the data? Where is the money, how much has been spent, how much is outgoing, and how much is left?
Oh, and when can I haz my chechs? I'll create jobs with a mere $10,000,000,000. I will need, at least, 3 construction crews to build my house(s); 2 maids (French dressed, if not really French, it's a bathing thing); a kitchen crew to include chef, sous chef, and several line chefs along with servers; A butler and a driver/mechanic; and a small fleet of vehicles both air, land, and see and service contracts for those; along with whatever else it would take to 'reduce' my CO2 footprint to that of algorish ranges. Oh, and of course, I would need accounting and investment advisers to make sure none of that goes back to the government in taxes unless I could also get a tax exemption for the principle and earnings. And, never mind about medical. I will have an inhouse hospital, thank you.
Just a thought.
"....and how much is left?"
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean 'left', there's nothing left mate, it's all gone, pissed away into the wind, it's all debt now. Out here in Australia we had billions in the piggy bank, which is a lot for a small country like us, but our socialist leader panicked at the first sign of trouble and broke it and it's all gone and we're billions upon billions in debt.
Yeah, I know Australia, and most European (save Germany last I heard) did the same, many of them didn't even have a piggy bank to start with, only adding debt to debt. However, in the US (again, last I heard), half of the monies set aside for for the 'stimulus' had not been spent (either 3-4 hundred million or 750 hundred million, depending on which 'stimulus' outlook is actually in play). Ack! Anyway, I was discussing the US program.
