Stimulus Year in Review

" Broncos from a new balanced world headquarters building. -- here's star power your car show drag him because -- larger responsibility than simply winning the next election. We had irresponsibility do what was right for the US economy and for the American people from one year later. It is largely thanks to the recovery act -- segment depression is no longer possible. One of the main reasons the economy has gone from shrinking by 6%. To growing at about 6% you --"

" And just await your parents still that's better thank bags in captain and my mom she's the former governor of act that this world is full of cool. Cold hearted people who would -- such -- thing but I I -- Look at trig and I see perfection IC precious little child already -- went around and get tougher on the special needs community that's what I thought when I first. Heard about this on this episode that really isn't. Funny how we guitar people are always speculating. Nick who will run for president -- who will become president and I've gone through that experience personally so -- very well acquainted with it but -- I'm not going to speculate and who might or might not be nominated by the Republicans I am very proud to support Barack Obama and I will continue to support Barack."

" WRKO radio networks."

" Everybody this is on the Nelson in for Howie -- I understand is enjoying the week off in warmer climes than we have here."

" And they hope he has a good vacation and enjoy. Howie you've earned it. Until that time we have the opportunity. Well we can discuss things amongst ourselves. We -- the phone lines open to you now on the phone number is 8774694322. That's 877. 4694322. The email address is -- Nelson at wrko.com. And I always look at the emails and read all of them don't get a chance to respond all of them can get all the money air. Today however we may not get any of them on the air because. In an active shattered Taj from the left the computer system isn't working so -- try a couple of times -- working our."

" Shuster -- having server issues the computer's not cooperating it's interesting what you you know how much you get dependent on Sunday just assume it's going to work. And in a way it's -- should be to technology. You turn the key in the car and you expect it will always go on same with the lights which allows a power outages against -- little bit more. We're more accustomed to that. I mean that I should make you expect when the server is supposed to work that it's going to work and it's amazing how. Somebody's watching you know you you push the -- union expected and the board comes out the and his various degrees of nevermind her comic relief -- And -- and you look at it and of course is nothing to do can bring the computer. It's too small -- can't go in there in fiddle around within that wouldn't help anyway so long in the short of it is for the time being at least. He's sending emails hopefully we'll get the stakes alone -- get a chance to look at the mall but they won't be in immediate connection. There -- just jumped line however that we much make sure. It is in full working order the jumped line -- 6177793469. That's 617779. 3469. -- those of the modes of communication we'll get to the -- lying to later on the program as you know. Well actually we have very a poll right sandy we do okay. And we have. Okay wonder what is the poll."

" Welcome to Paula that how we cart dot com where you can see all sorts of links for today's stories to me the video of the day and and the -- question a poll question is do you think the stimulus package has a healthy economy being hurt the economy C. Had no effect on the economy."

" You know I guess if I had a -- my answer idyllic and -- docket no no I'm supposed to participate. I would be somewhere between that it didn't do anything may be heard a little bit if I if I had to file have to choose I suppose I would say did not think. Well did nothing is that 30%. Hurt the economy isn't 66%. Only 4% think this was a good -- studio audience. Despite Obama's saying he saved us from a second depression and the economy's growing yeah I mean created two million jobs and and maybe there's a good place to start we'll get to the tea party of movement and a little bit and of course -- bishop. Who is of course he can't he can't help but enjoy that story sure there are other things that there we'll get to on the agenda but let's start here because it is the anniversary. The stimulus package. 800 billion dollars is an enormous amounts of money that that we're spending and does it work. There's a Latin expression called post Coke or go Procter hole which means after it therefore because of it okay we had a stimulus package. And -- when he numbers in the economy are getting better therefore must be because the stimulus package. Apple will never know here's what would happen if we didn't do we didn't spend that money. We'll take a look just think about or happy. Let's imagine the typical government program. -- hire two people. One guy did you ditch and the other guy goes behind him filling in for carrying out the Obama administration was saying she -- jobs created. Whether or not they're doing anything good that person being a little bit cynical we could add that to guard -- two guys working on a bridge. Why is that not work. Why is now argument not valid I mean after all if that were the way to solve the problem on employment. With could've done -- years ago we just haven't."

" Economists. From across the political spectrum warned that if dramatic action was not take him. To break the back of the recession the United States could spiral into another depression. Now when the backdrop. Against which I signed from the American recovery and reinvestment act pin number. Swim more like alongside. It certainly wasn't. Gave politically easy decision to make for me at or for the members of congress who supported house failed us a little as an old large expenditure. -- ever met public particularly at a time when we're also facing. A massive -- Yule log ditch. What we acted because failure to do so would have -- or catastrophe. We acted because where -- larger responsibility than simply winning the next election we had irresponsibility do what was right. For the US economy and for the American people there are responsible I didn't know one year later Brooke it is largely thanks to the recovery act. They segment depression is no longer a possibility. One of the main reasons the economy has gone from shrinking by 6%. To growing at about six."

" How long does she go on with this really we've got through back to us now good and we are that I engineer right general -- well you know it it's a little unlike Obama speaking at. Like here's a guy who believes in government programs. He believes in redistribution of wealth. There's some clip around somewhere of Obama when he was a state senator and most even when -- and US senator. Talking about -- the Supreme Court had failed to address the issues of wealth redistribution which you don't do unless you have large government programs. So this business of Archie I really didn't wanna spend any money but. That the situation forced didn't sought to spend 800 billion. Me a break here. Let the team jam and why this doesn't work. First the promised -- it was going to reduce unemployment and keep it below 8% as we know went up over ten percentage now slip back. But the reason it doesn't work it because while the money can be seen as to where it's going. In terms of this job that is being created in quotes. What you don't see is the -- employment there was lost because money was taken away from somewhere else. They 800 billion dollars if it hadn't been spent by the government would have been somewhere else in the economy. Either wouldn't have been borrowed in which case the other entities could have used it for investment. Or -- made up for taxes and of course some of that we do have -- taxes in this country. The money that's taken out of the taxpayer pockets. Is money that that taxpayer can't spend on other things which would have created employment. So you can spend a million dollars you can spend a billion or trillion dollars on net you're not gonna create employment. The only question is when weather if the government is spending that money is that a more efficient allocation of the resource. Then of the marketplace -- Well if you're a member of the political clash you think that. It's much better the government -- because the folks in Washington know better how things should go there are shouting. They are schooled their educated and they did their for a while they -- all -- all the doors are. Those of us who believe in the marketplace would say this is an inefficient use of resources. The reality is that just is boom periods and showed recession periods. And you can take a look back and most of the time nowadays government is very intrusive if you go back to it in 1920 want the government did very little with a recession and and ended the year. Nobody knows how to handle business cycle we don't know how to prevent it coming from terms of the valley. And we really don't know how to prevent these cycles up and down we really don't know a lot about making it better once we get into the valley. So as soon as we start going into a valley we have -- the people in college blaming the predecessor Paul it's their fault things they did. As soon as it looks will better all pitch because what we did we deserve lots of accolades and at least to vote in the next reelection period. -- most people who are saying that the the stimulus package either hurt or didn't do much for the economy are absolutely correct. The best you can say is that it didn't do Harmon -- I tend to think that the people who are identifying that this allocation of resources. By government is worse less efficient than private sector there are on the right track. And that's why you were getting so much push back now people are getting fed up. About the government taking over large sectors of the economy and pretending that those guys in Washington can do would -- Let's put the tea party movement is all about. We're just getting a little bit tired of being treated as -- were stupid and the only thing they were good for. Is to take our resource is send them into Washington and let us Hamlet Geist. The only time we trust the public to have viewed from Washington is during election bridge -- we get reelected. Then it makes a difference. And of course the good news there is the last three elections have indicated it's time for change. Well speaking of changes if you're just tuning in you know is the voices in the right -- now he can't how he's off for the week. This is on the Nelson had the pleasure being with you until 7 o'clock to join in the conversation. Our phone numbers 8774694322. And no mention again chump line was should get to later on for those who want to be creative make contributions on them and on -- The jumped line -- 6177793469. Okay well I'm not invite your phone calls. And talk about how we trust the marketplace better than -- Washington it's not only the marketplace in terms. Politics but also the marketplace of ideas. Much better generated outside of Washington and in so let's go to the phone lines and we start first with -- Bob good afternoon bug -- icebreaker."

" They RBI you don't expect every back on the air -- I think you're absolutely right audience member what Barney Frank serve the role of businesses to create revenue for the government."

" They just did but I do you have that clip because of Delaware the F I'd love to have that clip. If that's within those reviews the role of government."

" The other two million jobs that they keep our -- member of the of the numbers started several months ago or 600000. Iran created and then this small lettering. Or -- say he's not the not so impossible number to just accurately assess I think it'll."

" How how would you possibly no idea and that's why when you ask them. -- go to the website and you found jobs saved from zip codes that didn't exist."

" Right it's -- seven degrees of separation. -- saved one policeman's job that you got to go out and buy bread and out of that saved a person's job at the grocery store milk or they can go out fight heats up. And that's saying that beats a -- job so creating one government -- actually creates within seven or seven and a half thousand jobs."

" I don't know why you Shiite Bob I know why we should stop but all he's just keep going in that one policeman's job shoot all of our jobs."

" Right anyway all that's about 25 dollars minimum wage we copy that perhaps it."

" Right right this. This is an economic theory that serves the politicians well but does not serve -- well."

" Right and that's why it's good that they're running the economy."

" You can't there's no doubt well we got Reich thanks thanks for god. 8774694322. Is the phone number yet but shall we spend for a long time. That that sort of yeah what are you know. People in politics we know better."

" And though there's gang to be a lot of push back and people are getting a little bit fed up with the whole thing. Ignoring our wish is twisting the words of the constitution for their own political advantage. And the anniversary which is today all of these stimulus plan. It's such an opportunity to evaluate how well is this stimulus plan working how well did it work and of course they're contemplating -- the same. Flush with their success for the first year your thoughts are welcome 8774694322. We go next to Steve good afternoon Steve."

" Get out there -- take the opposite argument if you don't mind. OK so all a year ago all admit that he. The economy was contracting by 6% and and the economists. -- in the government that theory was that if you. If you fill a vacuum. You might be able to stop the snow ball that was heading the US economy into a disaster so. What he did was the most people think who wasn't even big enough. He put down seven or 800 billion dollars. 40%. Want to tax cuts. 30% went directly to the states the states were going bankrupt so he just transferred the money to the states and said. Okay usable for your firemen policemen and teachers you don't have to lay a -- to make even. Worse. You know make the economy even worse more job losses. As 30% went to hopefully shovel ready infrastructure programs which hasn't all been spent -- that's that was -- lay out over two years."

" And so. So -- I love your metaphor that what was it that you had yet to fill the vacuum and stopped a snowball."

" Well I mean if you're economy is contracting by 6% year. Almost as depression levels so if if people if if it's snowball into. You know -- estates are leery Zagreb these are you laying off. Sector will."

" How we got issues can shoot -- I was simply talked about the mixed metaphor about the vacuum in the snowball. But this -- of the -- every time I've heard this every time there's a down turn people off this will say oh we are going into a depression. We are going Jewish going to be cataclysmic. -- the sky was going to fall and you know the unemployment rate in the depression was 25%. Does anybody really think that we were on the verge of being 25% and."

" Well armies are made in the stock market went from the peak of 14000. To 6500. Science based giant investment banks. On Wall Street we're just about to declare bankruptcy and GM Ford Chrysler we're also need during round of."

" I know will just never know how bad would it be and but the people who don't pretend to be our salvation can assure us people on your side of the -- all the Hollywood have been an ultimate disaster 25% -- upload more than 70% unemployment we."

" Somebody -- I I question the president and his party let me just let me just ask you one thing about the -- party okay. I know they're saying that spending is out of control. But when you ask them. Okay do you wanna cut the military you wanna cut Social Security do you wanna cut Medicare. That's 85%. Of of the federal budget they say no. What you wanna do we want tax cuts -- to make that deficit even bigger would you know spending cut."

" I'll get to get to the cheap buy you a little bit sheeting covering a lot of ground -- go back to this whole business about. The money had to be spent because it save everything tell me -- worth the money come from."

" It was borrowed. You -- deficit borrowing."

" deficit borrowing so that means we all a ton a ton of money going forward that are also means of course. The -- money borrowed by the government was not available for anybody else to borrow the purpose is not. Business expansion and or. Or doing anything in terms of development right."

" Now that's not true that's not because because they've all heard it from the big lenders like China -- the institutional lenders the banks that are actually stopped. Lending to all the small business says that and even the big business says she doesn't on the verge of bankruptcies there was no more muscle."

" So let me understand this the United States government gets access to money that nobody else can -- is that right."

" Tell you why money from China why why are not enough I -- not -- Saudi Arabia why you were I don't remember why."

" Wouldn't the major institutions. In this country you know I of course you that you can IE. An individual can't golf and borrow from China although I wonder if they're Chinese banks around that might lend to individuals but why is -- that you think. That large institutions wouldn't borrow from China don't you think China wants to make a profit on the money that's why they won and that's why anybody -- Why is it that you think that somehow the government has access to money that nobody else can get to."

" Yeah Barnes and -- bonds as US treasury bills to foreign governments that's how they raise money."

" one -- even if your theory was shell correct. Then why don't we do this all the time and solve the problem and why -- the unemployment rate who want much higher. Then the proponent of this Barack Obama said it was going to."

" 'cause he was wrong I'm are what are where would stop. But -- the point has this this was say once in a fifteen year does -- it's good that they're socialism like beyond the usual solid gold recession."

" You know we have yeah sure it always is that's right it's always a problem you're always saying that all we were gonna end up with a disaster every time there's a recession that's whoever it let's go back on or fifteen years comes from seven is more like it because that's the Great Depression. But you know first Franklin Roosevelt followed a similar course of action how well they work. In 1933. The unemployment rate was 25%. In 1937. It was 21%. It didn't work then. And it doesn't work now. This argument that somehow that government will save us in the government and creating employment if that were the solutions Steve. Then who they would never be an unemployment problem we just how the government spend a -- oblivion and everything would be okay."

" We're always cheered their a year carriers give big tax cuts we tried that under George Bush oh led to his giant. Deficits and and and things like derivatives where people are so much money they were gambling it away on derivatives. And created a real estate bubble. Which which just collapsing economy so your way doesn't work either of these are."

" My my way would be that the government get out of the way the whole problem with the derivatives which is entirely -- the from the tax cuts. He -- it you're right that there are bubbles that Dubya created and they burst and the cycles in. The business in in the business world that is to say the ups and doubt you'll write. I don't know how to solve them. But I you at least willing to say I don't know the problem Steve is that people on your side pretend that -- now."

" The problem as well you know giant tax cut in half and so good at the very you rich instead of the people who are gonna spend it on everyday items."

" They say they say well this is absolute -- little."

" Bolshoi and that's very that is absurd that somehow that the bush tax cuts did this. If you wanna take a look at the bush eight years in office for good portion of that the economy did well. And -- the tax cuts which I'm sure you apply it when John Kennedy did dump it and the economy went up the tax cuts had nothing to do with the business cycle. You've raised back."

" Her stimulated the economy. Interest rates were much too low. -- they basically -- giving away free money so people said hey listen you are reminding we can't gamble it away aren't aren't are -- risky things like derivatives. Given in real estate and hopefully. I don't turn an old person that's what I see a Bible and the economy collapses."

" This is the standard up what we need a high taxes and let's take the wealthy. And -- when there's any kind of problem let's grab money from somewhere and suspended by the government and never worry about paying it back."

" Do not believe you can't touch the metal body and brittle working for a dot you know money should because they spend it on every day use -- it was like --"

" Shouldn't a guilty not guilty rich people buy cars that you'd like Steve let me tell you one last question you before ring off. We've got to what is it like ten trillion dollar deficit. -- how do we pay off that -- would you always advocating greater government expenditures."

" I'm more than likely you'll never pay off the it will always be there are you always have to pay interest on it. I know the economy grows it'll be a lot so --"

" Yeah -- well sure what's so much is seen and I've and is a good way to end it. Your answer is I don't have to worry about that like John Maynard Keynes said in the long Romo all be dead. And our children and drench your own great Georgia well we'll that the blazers went down now have to take care of it on their -- thanks for god. This is on the Nelson and frolic on the phone numbers 87746943. -- And he -- rational as I mentioned before are not sure the email addresses are that the computers accessible yet. They Nelson wrko.com. Unlikely government and unlike Steve abdication we have to pay our belts. None of those during a pushing onto our -- adult children and grandchildren. So we'll be back on the other side. I'm on the Nelson and this is how we can't program."

" I'm Nelson in for how icons -- thought this week. Enjoying -- southern hospitality and --"

" And does so in the meantime we'll have to make do -- RO. And invites you to participate. -- the phone number is 87746943. To -- reminder also -- line which is. -- comes later on in the program. The -- number is 6177793469. And as I mentioned earlier the cam computer servers not cooperating so I don't have access to the emails so hopefully they'll get fixed -- will be able to. Catch up to the email address is a Nelson at WRK dot com. We've begun the program today with -- recognition. On the anniversary of the stimulus. Bill that was signed by Obama. And which he is claiming now has done marvelous things for the economy. Saved or created two million jobs then climbing it started 600000. Goes up from their alumni account that. And I measure it and of course which never calculated and is how many jobs were lost because that money was taken away from where it might have been allocated. So we have Washington and determining instead of the marketplace determining how these job should be created. Your thoughts are welcome 8774694322. Let's go back to the telephone lines now we go next July 3 good afternoon."

" The idea that less Carlos say that the bush tax cut always stimulated the economy and he complained about bad. Yeah -- the are -- purpose -- some of that --"

" On the -- you wanna join in the over stimulation not. You want part of the charge."

" Jack global initiative -- almost an Olympic car we are very very because they complain about that a bit earlier it. I think there's -- stimulus pseudo wonderful thing for those countries it is. If there's do you -- jobs and industry MM hitters put the Democrats are out of work public office might think. Veteran that we have will be truly grateful."

" You're you're you're riding waves of course was not the only thing but it was hard all of that. This whole array of of programs and to a door policy directions that the Obama administration has undertaken than doing this first year. And the end result is that people -- fed up. And for the first time. People who ordinarily have not been involved with politics have become remarkably aware of what's going on and they are not sitting on their hands. They're going out and doing something about it."

" You're right -- Soviet mashup I've ever received in my lifetime I can always say well -- people gonna say I'm matters however I'm not gonna take it anymore and finally. The stimulus bill was the first shot. That I think -- that. And also -- like the correct that previous call that the river that broke -- It is funny that he meant that it brought it up because you happen beyond a rerun a GPS west -- that's started during the Clinton administration."

" Well yes good point that try -- I'm glad you did mention that good for you thanks Arthur. 8774694322. Would -- which closely just to the key party which it into reading and into this show whole question about the stimulus bill on the anniversary of what it's done what hasn't done. And if we're going German but there's one -- one word that you know it's called zeitgeist. It means basically sort of the intellectual ambience of the time to when there's something in the air. And what's been remarkable here is that -- something in the year has led to what is now called the tea party movement -- you may have seen. On February 16 just as the date that it appeared in the New York Times a very long piece. We printed out Cheney printed out here it ran ten pages -- at all it was on the tea party movement that the the headline was tea party lights fuse for rebellion on the right. Of the previous caller who won before Arthur Steve mentioned about the tea party which you have there is the -- growing awareness on the part of what might be called ordinary folks that. Something is wrong here that Washington has gone astray there were no longer. Abiding by. That the constitution of the United States were not. We're not following the dictates -- shut down by the founding fathers in the principles that made this country great. And more importantly these are people who are all of sudden doing something about it. It was curious about the New York Times -- You know peace rookie coming from the left you expect -- the lens through which they view this is going to be less than flattering and sure enough they won't the end. Their mandatory. Stuff about extremism and there I suppose there are similar they brought in he's like that John birch society and build a burgers in the council on foreign relations groups that. Little -- most people in the movement are associated with and by the way I remember when there was say an anti war movement. In this country. We do here in the New York Times complaining about -- junior some extremists in the movement. Now you have something it's the first time I know if it were people who might be called from the right. Getting up and they're getting together and they say we wanna make some changes and one of the things that they don't like. Is this enormous deficit there were being burdened with. Which continues to go up and each time Obama and the Democrats propose another massive step swimming program that -- just goes up even higher. And people are saying enough. Nor do this anymore we can't pay off our children camping at all and the caller before who is defending this said it'll always be there and you know what he's right. This deficit that we are talking about will always be either. Your children won't be able to pay off their children -- great grandchildren. You're talking trillions of dollars and no end in sight. That's what's a little bit scary and that's why there's achieved by movement. And his less to do -- some time an extremist survivalist movement where. This go get our guns and Hainan caves and make sure -- well stocked with canned goods. 8774694322. We go next to Peter good afternoon Peter."

" I -- thanks for taking my call -- I'm caller."

" Well all the nice that you and I should."

" A -- always worth the -- look I'm I I think absolutely the on the stimulus spending was the long way to go all. But I but I disagree with the president and with your analysis of this recession I don't think it was a normal business cycle recession work. Supply got out of the man then you know things get back in balance we start growing again. I think that time it was just very different this what they structural problem problem that we have basically that. As a nation individually. Corporate level and that government level we have borrowed too much money. And and racked up too much debt. And until all surplus debt load is worked out of the system. It's impossible for Esther -- because there's nobody. It's out there who can borrow money and make things happen right now we're all -- now and I agree with you that. This there's no way we can pay off all this debt and I think the government knows that. And now they've already started the process what they call quantitative easing well we -- our own debt. And ultimately what they're gonna do is just print money. The money to go look continue to elude its value they will inflate our way out of it which is 88 stealth -- and everyone who works for a living in the country. And that's the real problem here structurally if you look at the federal government. There's very little they can do to cut it. Well going into some entitlement thing that are really gonna hurt you and and -- artwork choices that are not being talked about."

" That's correct alone there are beginning to be some discussion about that. I agree with you -- a number of points -- when you say what we have to -- grow a lot of it or somehow get the -- down I I don't see how we're gonna do that in realistic."

" site I don't think we will we can't grow a lot of big besides I think we're gonna have a long period of stagnation here. We're not gonna grow a lot of it and and and then left. Unless the government drastically cut spending and raise taxes which none of us want. There's no way they gonna bring it back in the ballots so they -- that's a good one plate are out of their way out of that it is the only option this."

" Yet that's of course one way of reducing debt as you just print money and then you paid off with. Dollars that are less valuable. There are consequences to that and you know I I was thinking -- I hear you talk about this. Some of the little stories that isn't getting a lot of attention here but he's getting an awful lot in Europe but I think may have serious ramifications for us he's the problem with Greece. I'm not a but the Broadway Show on talk about the country the country has the Greek Greece the country has yet. And that they can't think they can't. Take care -- and you're about to go insolvent. And if they fall. You know they they can be a domino effect would -- a lot of countries including us our own country when a lot of countries are heavily into debt. There can be he an effect where one goes it topples a bunch of others and now. France and Germany and some of the other stronger. European countries are doing do you see what they can do to prop up grease. To try to prevent them. From throwing in effect going bankrupt. So your warning is a valid one. And if you don't think it stands inaugural lifetime priest is gonna come right away but sure right we have to would adapt to. The realities and deal with some of the real challenges that we have point well taken thank you for calling. I --"

" Point two here and there will go to break a Michael Barone wrote an interesting column and he dress she's exactly this question. He talks about the problems of ever expanding entitlements Social Security Medicare Medicaid that call earlier Steve raised these same things. But where Steve was wrong is that when he said that people who part of the tea party movement don't care about that not true representative Paul Ryan -- won the Republican up and coming stars. As indeed put forward a road map. To cut spending by means testing Paul -- replacing Medicare -- vouchers to pay for health insurance for beneficiaries currently under age 55. Tax credits for health insurance premiums. Etc. mean there are things you have to be addressed here and there are gonna be some hard choices which are not going to be fun. But we have to do them to get this deficit under control. I'm on Nelson this is how we cart program."

" Welcome back this is not -- my phone number. 8774694322. Until -- the -- line gave your next on the program good afternoon."

" Mr. Nelson how are you today. A couple things that are more polished really evil awful people that are in the top 1% wage earners in this country."

" Not that little ones we learned to hate."

" Yeah I can't believe you're getting people they'd be so bad but -- orders data about the caller. The big big -- may still angry with what he should take shape they were giving actually money. But the tax cut not only my money I earned it."

" That's tribal or not but you're not buying the right thing the only buying I don't know what you Biden spends about. But you don't buy stuff like the rest tonight."

" Well that's a second car was good talk about what established. Okay benched at real risk if this targeted in the running around trade you to be awarded the Great Depression. No we didn't it go comment. Okay ammunitions were real. The when he read the tractor they actually are marketed heartbreak and right now 8090 hours a week can make it too much morning you'd like -- right now like to keep most of it. I'm sure you're -- baby."
