Wacky Wednesday--The Stimulus Plan Is Wise

Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.

~Government spending is a great way to keep the money circulating.
~Some things are too important to let fail because of the empty rhetoric of conservative idealism.
~The people who oppose this are, wanting Obama to fail, wanting liberal ideas to fail, or racists.
~The situation is so dire that we have to do something.
~If we don’t do everything we can possibly do and the whole thing falls apart, we’ll always feel guilty about that.
~We are world leaders, and they are looking to us for leadership by example.
~Government spending got us out of the Great Depression.
