Budget deficit tops $1 trillion for first time

[phreakwars]

Because the stimulus money has already been allocated, that's why. More money doesn't mean something needs redirected, it means it needs more funding. To reallocate the money would be to cheat out one or many other states of their pre detirmend allocation. So the only option at that point would be to cut allocated state level programs for the individual state OR propose a 2nd stimulus.

Well that sounds like typical lock step Government thinking to me Bender, what happened to "Change"?

 

If the problem is the stimulus is not working as intended to offer short term stability, then we should not spend the money at all.

 

Remember the 'keep unemployment below 8%' promise. We have already gone past the 8% and well beyond in many States.

 

 

 

Pure Government spending does not stimulus by itself, that is like you losing your job and using credit cards to pay your bills Bender. If you never land a new job, then living on credit cards just made your situation worse, not better because now you have to deal with the intrest.

 

What the people need is new private sector jobs, that is the onoly thing that can negate the deficit being causes by such massive spending.
