Sometimes I am amazed when some politicians say "exactly" what is on their mind. For example, one Senator stated in that article, "If I'm a business person, it's unlikely if you give me a several-thousand-dollar credit that I'm going to hire people if I can't sell the products they're producing," said Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., a member of the committee. True, but did he stop and think that a several-thousand-dollar credit may allow an employer to retain some employees instead of laying them off? Even if it were for just a few months, those few months would mean that said employee would receive a salary, and would then bring a portion of that salary back into the system by buying consumer products, thereby creating the circular flow of money and taxable revenues.
