> Why?

Because it isn't REMOTELY stimulative to the economy.


Yes, it is. You make them, ship them and then install them. All those activities employ people. Got it?

In no way does it help the economy, and in fact, the debt from this spending is inflationary and will have an ADVERSE impact on the economy a couple years down the road.

Dude, capacity utilization is at 68%....normal is in the low 80s. Inflation is the least of our concerns.
