Get a Real Definition of the Word, “Stimulus”

The word, “Stimulus” has evolved for alternative usage by politicians. It’s old meaning had been perfectly useful in economics and economic parlance.

It has become a cover for politicians who conveniently use it to describe or hide what other motives they may have in mind.

What the the bulk of the population here in America thinks of when their Masters in Washington attempt to stimulate the economy is spending that will get business wheels grinding again, employers hiring again and folks buying again. And as quickly as possible. I repeat: Quickly. Not next year or the year after.

Poor psychology is what makes economic recessions and depressions linger on and on. A true stimulus must promptly change that poor psychology and FAST.

But when only a small amount of stimulus money is actually designed to be spent within that all-important first year, another motive is apparent. When the vast bulk of stimulus money is designed to be a mere framework for the expansion of BIG Government and Big Government jobs only, the goal is primarily not the same.

It is obvious. Enormous amounts of money is being spent, more for the future socialization of a large percentage of the economy, and not economic stimulus today.

The public will eventually see that such spending is only a down payment on future costs, to be paid by heavy taxes and a more worthless dollar.
