Better question is how stupid is California for having this 70 year old bag as their Representative in The United States House?

They could have given those 55 people $1 Million each and told them to forget about a job for a few years - AND saved $55 Million!

I doubt that.

Oh, it's the way THEY portray him, but not his method.

And you can certainly call it Keynesian, but it is not per se.:eek:

Now now now , Keny... at it's best would be "he kept us from a Depression, since Keny... was put into play, and that was IT"S intention, keep us out of a Depression.
The fact that it has Always worked, says something.

What is going down in todays market, like i say call it what you will, but it's not Keynesian's method.

According to the news, most of the money was spent on preventing city / state employee layoffs. Of course they will need this money again next year.
