]]> Comment on The worst recession since…? by Mitchele Vigil http://www.fundmasteryblog.com/2009/09/10/the-worst-recession-since/#comment-4143 Mitchele Vigil Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:48:52 +0000 http://www.fundmasteryblog.com/2009/09/10/the-worst-recession-since/#comment-4143 And now that we are in February of 2010 the real numbers are hard-truth; employment in groups under $60,000 is severe, and lasting. The author of this blog displays the typical arrogance of someone who does not see that which is in plain sight. Those people earning less than $13,000 are suffering unemployment of some 30 Plus percent, which is worse than the Great Depression. As well, and something not given much consideration in the original argument which provoked my ire is that job creation is a much slower process as each recession since the 70's proves. Factually, a lot of people are worse off than in the Great Depression.

Note two things: 1) It's from 1993 2) It's called Cash for Clunkers back then, too 3) They were fully aware that this program would hurt the poor back then.

]]> Comment on Cash for Carts (golf carts that is) by Anna http://www.fundmasteryblog.com/2009/10/19/cash-for-carts-golf-carts-that-is/#comment-4118 Anna Wed, 16 Dec 2009 16:58:12 +0000 http://www.fundmasteryblog.com/2009/10/19/cash-for-carts-golf-carts-that-is/#comment-4118 A lot of people seem to be upset by the <a href="http://waldeneffect.org/blog/Golf_cart_tax_credit/" rel="nofollow">golf cart tax credit</a>, but I have to admit that I don’t think it’s such a terrible idea. We got a golf cart a year or two ago to replace a farm truck and I’m pretty sure that it’s been as good a deal for the environment as it was for us. We barely have to charge it, and I’m sure the electricity we use per mile is a lot less damaging than the gas we used to use per mile. As long as the government is in the business of giving out incentives, I think this is as good as any.
