How can the government say they are "investing" in the economy?

when the money they "invest" comes from the economy in the first place, and printed money only dilutes the value of the money in the economy?

Update:

printed printing

    In Obama's case, this is obviously propaganda for wealth redistribution and crony payoffs. Look at the Stimulus bill - most of the money went to union progams and payoffs to his supporters. Since then we've seen crony payoffs like Solyndra, Petrobras, and numerous other huge expenditures that benefit only Obama bundlers and fund raisers. Meanwhile the American taxpayers get stuck with the tab. Our children and grandchildren will have to pay off Obama's corrupt "investments" and debts.

    in case you mean taking the 'permit's only develop taxes and throw funds and desire it fixes itself' physique of ideas i desire no longer. yet favourite that seems to be the way liberals function. i've got in no way heard of a central authority attitude in direction of international warming that did no longer contain a tax develop of a few form. helping the ecosystem is a few thing that could desire to destroy the economies of the two the U. S. and Canada. We only won't be able to have sufficient funds it. international warming is approximately removing very own freedom from human beings. permit's desire it does not happen in North united statesa. because it has in Europe. I doubt that is going to, we are no longer as left-questioning and there'd be too plenty defiance. Mass revolt is a few thing that scares human beings in ability.

    Whats a crack up is that 80% of the taxpayer money Obama "invested" in green companies went to people that contributed to his 2008 campaign.

    So, are you saying we should cancel the term “investor?” I mean, all their money comes from the economy. Jeez.

    Because they are. Your criticism of investment on the basis that the money comes from the economy would apply to all investments. You are not being logical.

    Investing: An overused Obama word that means redistributing the wealth, and giving more to the moochers that he panders to.
