      Uh..no. There's such a thing as efficiency. Give me $1M to provide health care and I bet I spend it a lot differently than, for example, Pam Allen, my former boss. She would spend it infinitely more efficiently than I would.

        You know what even more efficient? Charity. People demand more when they have a something at stake.

          Leading indicators for the U.S. economy rose 0.8% in February, the Conference Board said Thursday.The Leading Economic Index climbed to 113.4, an all-time historical high.
          Those hacks over at The Economist reported
          The American economy added 216,000 jobs in March. The unemployment rate declined by a tenth of a percentage point to 8.8% in the same month. It has fallen by a full percentage point since November 2010. In March, professional and business services added 78,000 jobs, while another 37,000 were added in health care. Manufacturing employment also rose, by 17,000.
          But I know you prefer to see doom and gloom because then your candidate has a better shot in 2012.

            That doesn't show how a furlough (where they will likely receive back pay) will "kill" the economy.

              In the meantime, all those people will pay their bills and buy things...how exactly? Promising to pay sometime in the future? That works.

              Hey, give me $100K and I'll pay you back sometime in the future.

                So you're saying that .3% of the population (who apparently will completely stop spending) for a couple weeks will wreck a $15T econonmy.

                        Budget deal reached. Short-term CR coming up to tide us over while they finish the paperwork.

                          Sounds like no cuts to PP and $38.5 million in cuts.

                            Actually, technically the government IS shut down right now because the House hasn't gotten together for a vote on the CR yet.

                              Ok. So we "saved" 40 billion. (Though knowing Congress, it means that spending increased 80 billion instead of the original 120 billion)

                              That's about 100 days in Iraq and Afghanistan. How about we leave there in the next 100 days and save ourselves another $40 billion in the 100 days following that? 8 and 10 years is long enough. Even the Russians learned faster than this.

                                The funny thing about that withdrawal option is it takes months to move that many forces around - and that process also costs money.
