Re: You can keep repeating it. It isn't going to help.
"It’s been done many times successfully so any claims it has not are wrong."
Name two. And before you pop up with FDR, be careful. I have more information than you do.
Stimulus programs can create an artificial appearance of an uptick, like paying people taxpayer money we don't have to buy cars. But it's not a real stimulus. When the funny money dries up, so does the economic activity. Look around. What happened with the last "stimulus?"
The current "infrastructure" flap is, to put it politely, exaggerated. For example, the percentage of structurally-deficient bridges in the U.S. has been falling steadily since 1996. The real objective of all this is to funnel millions of taxpayer dollars to the union shock troops of the Democratic Party before the upcoming election. A very nice chunk of that taxpayer money will get kicked back to the Democrats for political campaigns.
