So, I guess the economy not on stimulus is just a fish lying in the dirt with no water at all? Can we make a video where we get a fishbowl and drop the fish in it and say “This is the economy on a bigger stimulus suited to the actual size and magnitude of the crisis?”
The thing is, we haven’t really seen any stimulus in quite a long time now. So if you’re still sick of stimulus, you might want to find something more, uhm, stimulating to fixate on. Like Rick Santorum’s odd obsession with gay people.
It reminds me of LBJ’s ‘Daisy’ ad a bit:
Maybe Cain’s next ad can have a nuclear bomb eviscerate the goldfish. This is your economy on Herman Cain, bitches!
Doesn’t it suggest something is wrong with the system itself if you constantly have to shovel tax money into it to keep it from stalling?
Preemptive clarification: Herman Cain is a moron, I’m not saying he’s correct. His “point” if you can even call it one is that stimulus = bad, period. My thinking is rather that the reason for the stimulus issue is because we have favored and backed to the hilt via policy huge peaks and valleys in the economy rather than more natural growth that, though it may be slower at times, would be more sustainable.
Not really. A fish needs water. If a fish needs water, then this implies that a fish needs stimulus. It actually doesn’t work at all, and makes rather the opposite point that it’s trying to make…
I didn’t watch the video, but your description of it as being nonsense sounds credible.
Herman Cain is a nut, full-stop.
He’s on the radio down here all the time giving similarly nonsensical polemics. It fits right in with Tod’s post today.
Did I miss something? Why is Herman Cain making campaign videos?
He’s in consulting now.
This is a commercial for consulting? I think all the people who said he was just a media w**re might have been right.
I thought to be in consulting you first had to have accomplished something, or be good at something and therefore have some knowledge or skills that people need/want…..
