why/why not?

why bailout the auto industry? If there was value to it, private investors would back it. Why make the taxpayer have to pay for something with no value?

why not cut spending rather than "stimulate" the economy? the only way we are going to pay for this "stimulus" is debt/print money/taxation, all of which will be like not using lube...

while I agree that spending money on infrastructure is great, why not keep it at the state level like it's suppose to be. The fed should not get involved in that.

i could go on... but hopefully this provides *some* clarity.
