Then enlighten me.

You are trying, in several ways, to sell me the idea that the more you move money around, the more wealth appears from nowhere. It doesn't.

But maybe we can just get past the theory, and point out that the idea just plain DOESN'T WORK. It didn't work for Bush, it didn't work for Obama and the Democrats the first time, and so far after two years of extended unemployment benefits, that's not working either. But what the hell, we'll shoot another thirteen months down the barrel and maybe this time for sure.

Meanwhile, we'll keep attacking and punishing anyone who manages to be successful in a business and make some money. After all, creating actual new wealth couldn't POSSIBLY do anything to add wealth to the economy.

Your side is economically demented, Buck. In some cases, literally. I've been watching Paul Krugman (among others) go right around the bend since the election. The sooner they're all on the outside looking in, the sooner the economy will recover.
